Possible Parental Kidnapping In El Durado Springs

On March 26, 2025, at approximately 10:30 a.m., Cedar County Deputy Lukenbill, who also serves as a School Resource Officer (SRO), was notified of a possible parental kidnapping involving a gray 2018–2019 Dodge Durango bearing Missouri license plates. The suspect, identified as Colt Schieffer, was reported to be armed with a handgun and in possession of a 5-year-old juvenile.

At approximately 10:39 a.m., Deputy Lukenbill spotted the suspect vehicle near the intersection of Main Street and U.S. 54 Highway in El Dorado Springs, Cedar County. The Deputy visually confirmed the driver as Schieffer, whom he recognized from prior encounters.

Deputy Lukenbill attempted a traffic stop using emergency lights and siren. Schieffer failed to yield, accelerated, and a vehicle pursuit ensued westbound on U.S. 54 Highway. The pursuit continued into Vernon County, where Vernon County Deputies joined in. The Missouri State Highway Patrol deployed spike strips near Nevada, though they were unsuccessful.

The pursuit continued across the state line into Kansas, ending in Fort Scott, where Schieffer pulled into the parking lot of Fort Scott Munitions where he was taken into custody without further incident. At the time of arrest, Schieffer was found to be armed and wearing body armor. The 5-year-old child was safely recovered, and no citizens or law enforcement officers were injured during the 40-mile pursuit.

The Cedar County Sheriff’s Office formally requested charges related to the vehicle pursuit. The Honorable Judge Jacob Dawson issued the following warrants for Colt Schieffer:

• 1 count of Endangering the Welfare of a Child – Class D Felony

• 1 count of Resisting Arrest/Detention/Stop by Fleeing – Class E Felony

Bond has been set as NO BOND at this time.

Schieffer is also under investigation for a separate incident. Additional information will be released as it becomes available.
