ST. LOUIS—Special Agent in Charge Jay Greenberg of FBI St. Louis and Interim Commissioner Michael Sack of St. Louis Metropolitan Police Department (SLMPD) jointly announced the rescue of a 6-year-old girl in St. Louis. She was taken during an armed home invasion in Michigan on July 19, 2022. An individual known to the family took the girl.

Due to the swift response and investigation by Muskegon Heights Police Department, the Michigan State Police, and the FBI Detroit Field Office, the FBI St. Louis Field Office was notified that the girl may be in St. Louis. Within eight hours of being notified, the FBI St. Louis Field Office and SLMPD’s Fugitive Apprehension Strike Team (FAST) located and rescued the girl unharmed. Thank you to the U.S. Attorney’s Office, Eastern District of Missouri for its assistance.

Two suspects, 69-year-old Robert Lomack, and 32-year-old Seaniece Johnson were arrested without incident. Johnson waived her extradition hearing and is charged with home invasion by the state of Michigan. Lomack was arrested for violation of his parole.

Last evening (July 21, 2022), the girl and her father were reunited in St. Louis. Dad said, “I would like to thank Muskegon Heights Police, Michigan FBI, Missouri FBI for doing a great job in getting my daughter back so quickly. . . You guys did a really good job, caught them really quick. I’m happy now. I got my baby back.” When asked about the moment he got to finally see his daughter, he said, “It was joyful when I seen her face. We just want to get her back home. Get her snugged away and live a happy life. Everybody is waiting on her back home.”
