A Bardstown man has been charged in the disappearance of a teenager from Breckinridge County.
On Sunday, the Breckinridge County Sheriff’s Office was informed that 15-year-old Cadence Riggle was missing from a family farm. She was reported missing by her grandparents, who told police they were sleeping at approximately 1:30 Sunday morning when Riggle “snuck out of the cabin,” the sheriff’s office said.
The family members told investigators they thought Riggle had used one of their phones to call someone to pick her up.
About 40 minutes after she left the cabin, and before Riggle had been reported missing, a Hardinsburg Police Officer made contact with Riggle and 18-year-old Marcus A. Durbin, of Bardstown, as they sat in a 2012 Ford passenger car in the parking lot of a Hardinsburg business, according to the sheriff’s office. The officer, having no reason to detain the two, left the scene.
On Thursday, Riggle and Durbin were tracked to Lebanon Junction where both surrendered to authorities.
Durbin was charged with custodial interference, a class D felony, and lodged in the Breckinridge County Detention Center. Riggle was returned to her family.
The Lebanon Junction and Bardstown Police Departments assisted in the investigation.
