GREENLEAF, Idaho (CBS2) — A joint effort by the Canyon County Sheriff's Office (CCSO) and the Wilder Police Department led to the arrest of a Greenleaf couple on Sept. 26 on felony charges of second-degree kidnapping.
The couple, 40-year-old Matthew Rettkowski and 34-year-old Alisha Rettkowski, are alleged to have coordinated a plan to abduct a juvenile from Phoenix, Arizona, on Sept. 23. The child, whose father lives in Greenleaf, recently moved to Arizona to live in the custody of his mother.
Wilder Police Department initiated an investigation on Sept. 25 when they received a call from the juvenile's mother stating that she believed Matthew Rettowski had abducted him. Wilder Police and CCSO took steps to further the investigation, and the child was found a short time later in the custody of Alisha Rettkowski.
Matthew and Alisha Rettowski were taken into custody on Sept. 26 and booked into the Canyon County Jail on felony second-degree kidnapping charges. Matthew is currently being held on a $100,000 bond. Alisha was also held on a $100,000 bond but was released yesterday after posting bail.
Anyone with additional information is urged to contact the Wilder Police Department or Canyon County Sheriff's Office at (208)454-7531.
No additional information will be released at this time.
