Missing Indiana Teen sex video: Columbus Man Charged in Connection with Missing Indiana Teen Believed to be Dead
A Columbus man has been charged with pandering sexually oriented material involving a minor and tampering with evidence in connection with the disappearance of a 17-year-old girl from Indiana whom authorities now believe is dead.
Tyler Thomas, 39, of Columbusโ Victorian Village neighborhood, is being held in the Franklin County Jail. Court records show he is scheduled to appear in a Franklin County court on Monday, Feb. 2.
The missing teen, Hailey Buzbee, of Fishers, Indiana, was last seen by her parents around 10 p.m. on Jan. 5 near her home, Fishers police said during a news conference on Feb. 1. Fishers is a suburb located north of Indianapolis.
Investigators said a vehicle seen in the area at the time of Buzbeeโs disappearance was traced back to Thomas. Police believe the two met through online gaming.
Authorities interviewed Thomas within days of the teenโs disappearance. He told investigators he had dropped Buzbee off on the side of a road in western Ohio. Police later determined that statement was false and coordinated with Ohio law enforcement to search Thomasโ home and vehicle, according to court records.
Based on evidence collected and statements made by Thomas, Fishers police now believe Buzbee is deceased and are continuing efforts to locate her body.
Court documents state that Thomas picked up the teen in the early morning hours of Jan. 6. During a search of his Hunter Avenue residence on Jan. 21, investigators reportedly found child sexual abuse material, including images and video involving the missing juvenile, on Thomasโ digital devices. Records also indicate a video of the teen was discovered in a deleted file.
Police said Thomas spent time with Buzbee at his Columbus residence and at a short-term rental property in Hocking County, where sheriffโs deputies conducted searches using drones and K-9 units in an effort to locate the teen.

5-Year-Old Liam Ramos and Father Released from Texas Detention, Return to Minneapolis
Five-year-old Liam Conejo Ramos and his father, Adrian Conejo Arias, asylum seekers detained by federal agents last week, have returned home to Minneapolis after a federal judge ordered their release from the South Texas Family Residential Center in Dilley, Texas.
โI am happy to finally be going home,โ Conejo Arias, โLiam is very happy to be going back. He is going to see his mom and his brother again.โ Liam, speaking in Spanish, said he felt โgood.โ
They had been detained on January 20, shortly after Liam returned home from preschool. According to Conejo Arias, they were approached by immigration agents as they parked their car outside their home. Both were taken to a federal detention facility despite having a pending asylum case and no deportation order.
U.S. District Judge Fred Biery ordered the release of the father and son โas soon as practicableโ but no later than February 3, criticizing the governmentโs enforcement approach. In his ruling, Biery condemned policies that he said traumatize children in the pursuit of deportation quotas.
The father said he and his family intend to remain in the U.S. under asylum, citing fears of returning to Ecuador. โI asked for asylum to be here for my family, for my children,โ he said. โWe came in with all the requirements, and our first court hearing is scheduled later in February.โ

Details on the circumstances surrounding their detention were not immediately available, but the ruling ensures that Liam and his father can leave the center immediately.

Legal experts say that this case highlights ongoing debates over family detention policies in the United States and the rights of children in immigration proceedings.
South Africa has expelled Israelโs top Diplomat over alleged diplomatic violations and social media remarks, prompting Israel to order a reciprocal expulsion.
South African and Israeli diplomatic tensions
South Africa Expels Israelโs Top Diplomat over Social Media Post
South Africa has ordered Israelโs top diplomat to leave the country within 72 hours, escalating already strained diplomatic relations between the two nations.
In a statement released Friday, South Africaโs Department of International Relations and Cooperation said it had expelled Ariel Seidman, the chargรฉ dโaffaires at the Israeli Embassy in Pretoria, and declared him persona non grata. The move effectively bars him from continuing diplomatic duties in the country.
The South African government accused Seidman of repeatedly violating diplomatic protocols and undermining bilateral relations through social media posts that allegedly insulted President Cyril Ramaphosa. Officials also cited failures to properly notify South Africa of visits by Israeli officials.
Seidman had been Israelโs most senior diplomatic representative in South Africa since Israel recalled its ambassador in 2023.
Within hours of the announcement, Israelโs Foreign Ministry said it would expel a senior South African diplomat, Shaun Edward Byneveldt, ordering him to leave Israel within the same 72-hour timeframe in a reciprocal response.
Relations between the two countries have been tense for months, particularly after South Africa filed a case against Israel at the International Court of Justice, accusing it of committing genocide against Palestinians in Gaza. Israel has firmly rejected the allegations and accused South Africa of advancing the interests of Hamas by bringing the case.
The diplomatic fallout is also likely to draw attention from the United States, a close ally of Israel. The Trump administration has previously criticized South Africa, accusing it of supporting Iran and Hamas โ claims South Africa has denied.
Last year, the United States expelled South Africaโs ambassador, Ebrahim Rasool, following comments he made about the โMake America Great Againโ movement.
South Africaโs Foreign Ministry said the decision to expel Seidman followed โa series of unacceptable violations of diplomatic normsโ and described the conduct as a direct challenge to the countryโs sovereignty.
Some members of South Africaโs Jewish community criticized the move. Karen Milner, chairperson of the South African Jewish Board of Deputies, described the expulsion as a drastic step based on what she characterized as limited social media activity.

Don Lemon Says He Will Continue Journalism After Federal Arrest
Veteran journalist Don Lemon says he will not stop reporting the news after what he describes as a late-night arrest by federal authorities, calling the moment a critical test for press freedom in the United States.
In a public statement, Lemon thanked supporters for standing by him and said the encouragement โmeans the worldโ to him. He emphasized that he has spent more than three decades covering national and global events and has no plans to step away from journalism.
According to Lemon, a team of federal agents from the U.S. Department of Justice arrested him during the night. He said the action was taken in connection with his work as a journalist โ work he believes is protected under the First Amendment of the U.S. Constitution.
Lemon described the current moment as especially important for independent media, saying a free press plays a key role in exposing the truth and holding powerful institutions accountable. He added that journalists across the country rely on constitutional protections to do their jobs without fear of retaliation.
โI will not be silenced,โ Lemon said, adding that he looks forward to addressing the matter in court.
The Department of Justice has not publicly responded to Lemonโs claims.

Law enforcement agencies arrested more than 50 fugitives living in government housing during a multi-agency operation in the Columbus area.
More Than 50 Fugitives Arrested during Operation Clean House
โOperation Clean Houseโ: More Than 50 Fugitives Arrested in Government Housing
Law enforcement agencies across central Ohio arrested more than 50 fugitives during a coordinated operation targeting individuals with felony warrants living in government-funded housing.
The six-day initiative, known as โOperation Clean House,โ was carried out over a two-week period in the greater Columbus area. The effort was led by the U.S. Marshals Service and included partnerships with the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD), the Franklin County Sheriffโs Office, and other local agencies.
Authorities said the goal was to locate and arrest violent fugitives residing in HUD housing, improving safety for residents and surrounding neighborhoods.
โThis operation shows whatโs possible when agencies work together,โ said U.S. Marshal Michael Black of the Southern District of Ohio. โEach arrest makes the community safer.โ
According to officials, other arrests during the operation involved individuals wanted on charges including failure to register as a sex offender, strangulation, drug trafficking, child endangerment, and rape. Law enforcement also recovered firearms and illegal drugs during several of the arrests.
Franklin County Sheriff Dallas Baldwin said removing violent offenders from subsidized housing benefits both residents and those seeking affordable housing.
โWhen we take violent felons out of these communities, it makes them safer and ensures housing is available for families who truly need it,โ Baldwin said.
HUD deployed approximately 30 agents to Columbus to assist with the mission. Officials confirmed that all arrests were made without any critical incidents.
Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem reportedly told aides her actions followed directives from President Trump as scrutiny grows over Minneapolis shooting.
Demonstrators gather in Minneapolis calling for accountability following the fatal shooting of Alex Pretti during a federal enforcement operation.
Kristi Noem Says Trump and Stephen Miller Directed Every DHS Actions
The United States is facing renewed public scrutiny following reports that Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem told aides that all actions she took in her role were done under the direction of President Donald Trump and senior adviser Stephen Miller.
The remarks, first reported by Axios, surfaced as criticism intensified over the fatal shooting of 37-year-old Alex Pretti, an ICU nurse and U.S. citizen, who was killed by federal immigration agents during an enforcement operation in Minneapolis, Minnesota.
According to the report, Noem made the statement privately as questions mounted about federal immigration enforcement tactics and leadership responsibility. The comments have since fueled calls from lawmakers, civil rights groups, and members of the public for transparency and accountability.
Legal analysts note that while federal officials often act within established chains of command, following directives does not eliminate responsibility when enforcement actions result in the loss of civilian life.
Minneapolis Shooting Under Investigation
The killing of Alex Pretti has drawn national attention.

Federal authorities initially stated that Pretti posed a threat during the operation. However, later-released video footage appeared to contradict that account, showing Pretti holding a cellphone and not displaying a weapon at the time of the shooting.
The incident prompted demonstrations in Minnesota and other states, with protesters demanding answers and changes to federal enforcement practices. The agents involved have reportedly been placed on administrative leave while investigations continue.
Broader Enforcement Concerns
Advocacy organizations and civil rights leaders argue the Minneapolis shooting highlights broader concerns surrounding federal immigration operations. Critics say aggressive enforcement strategies have led to serious consequences for immigrant communities and, in some cases, U.S. citizens.
Calls for independent oversight and clearer use-of-force policies have grown as lawmakers seek to determine how decisions were made and who bears responsibility.
As investigations move forward, the case has reignited debate over federal accountability, leadership oversight, and the limits of executive authority in law enforcement operations.
