Capt. Ken Burchfield with the Shelby County Sheriff’s Office said the case involves a juvenile victim and a registered sex offender.

“This was not an abduction but rather the victim knew the offender,” Burchfield said in an emailed statement.

Due to the sensitivity of the case, Burchfield said he could not release any more information.
