A Utah man is in custody after a missing college student was found alive in his home — naked and covered in coal, authorities said.
Madelyn Allen, a 19-year-old student at Snow College in Ephraim, was reunited with her family after being rescued late Saturday, some five days after she disappeared from her dorm room, Snow College Police Chief Derek Walk told reporters at a press conference Sunday.
Brent Neil Brown, 39, who allegedly held Allen captive at his Loa home for days after meeting her online, is facing felony counts of aggravated kidnapping, rape, object rape and obstruction of justice, KSL-TV reported.
“We don’t have a lot of information about him,” Walk told reporters. “We don’t know how extensive his relationship or her knowledge of him is thus far.”
Allen had met Brown, originally from Kaysville, in an online chat group and arranged to have him pick her up on Dec. 13, according to a probable cause affidavit obtained by the Salt Lake Tribune.
