Imagine coming across a two-year-old little boy wandering completely alone outside an apartment complex.
He's wearing only a shirt and a diaper.
He can't tell anyone where his mother is.
Nobody seems to know where he's come from.
And then, as police begin trying to identify this little boy, they discover something even more disturbing.
His mother, 21-year-old Leila Cavett, is missing.
Self-proclaimed ‘witch’ Shannon Ryan has been arrested and charged with Leila’s murder. Social media messages between Shannon and Leila indicate that Leila may have been working as a witchcraft apprentice. Court documents currently indicate that the jury trial may begin this month, September 2026.
