A 4-year-old who went missing more than two years ago was found alive by police on Monday, hidden underneath a staircase in a New York home.
Paislee Shultis was found at a residence in Saugerties, about 45 miles south of Albany, on Monday night after authorities received a tip regarding her whereabouts, according to the Saugerties Police Department.
Officers found the young girl after an hour of searching in a makeshift room under a staircase leading to the basement.
Detective Erik Thiele noted that something appeared odd about the staircase and saw a blanket after flashing a light between the steps.
"However, Detectives used a tool to remove several of the wooden steps, and that is when detectives saw a pair of tiny feet," police said in a statement on Tuesday. "After removing several more steps, the child and her abductor were discovered within. The space was small, cold, and wet."
Paramedics examined Paislee and after determining her to be in good health, she was returned to her legal guardian, police said.
Paislee was reported missing from Cayuga Heights in July 2019, and authorities believe she was taken by her "non-custodial parents."
quote:
Kimberly Cooper, Kirk Shultis, Jr. and Kirk Shultis, Sr., were arrested and charged in Paislee's disappearance.
Police had previously followed leads to the residence where Paislee was ultimately found, but said that each time the residents had "denied any knowledge of the little girl’s whereabouts."
"During some of the follow ups to the Fawn Road location, authorities were permitted limited access into the residence to look around for the child, by both Kirk Shultis Sr and Jr. ... knowing the child and her abductor were hidden within the house and would not be found," police said.
Both Shultis' were charged with one count each of felony of custodial interference in the first degree and misdemeanor endangering the welfare of a child.

Hang the person that did this. That is the only justice.

If the person responsible for this doesn't spend the rest of their life in agony, this is an unjust world.

Damn hide the child for years and get out the same day?

Whoever named that kid Paislee should serve some time as well.

Sounds like baby daddy and his father kidnapped the kid.

This is the stuff nightmares are made of.

Wow that is amazing. You hear about stories like this where the detectives completely miss something.
Off with the captors head. ASAP.

That is one serious game of Hide & Seek

This likely isn’t some heinous thing like it seems.
One parent has custody and won’t share with other parent
Other parent takes kid. She is living normally with other parent for 2 years. Parent gets a tip the cops are coming to find her and they hurriedly hide under the stairs and get quickly found. They were probably under the stairs less than an hour. Not living there.

Pretty clear this was sloppily written. This is the first of two places they mention this Cooper lady. No first name in either, but it’s clear she’s the abductor.
I’m guess this Cooper and one of the Schultis men are this girl’s biological parents, which they were terrible at, and lost the child to the system or some other form of “custodial parents.”
I wonder if they were hidden in that room at all times, or only when the police arrived for a search.
Likely why the chargers aren’t more severe at this time.

A case where cops should have shot him on the spot because he “resisted”
