Investigators arrested 37-year-old Vinson Filyaw on Interstate 20 in Richland County about 24 hours after rescuing Elizabeth Shoaf, who had been missing for 10 days, said Sheriff Steve McCaskill in neighboring Kershaw County.
Filyaw will be charged with kidnapping, possession of an incendiary device and impersonating an officer, he said.
[Authorities] said the text message the girl sent to her mother came from Filyaw’s cell phone. Investigators used cell towers to determine a general location of the phone, and deputies began searching for Filyaw on Friday night.
