Missing North Dakota Woman Savanna Greywind's Newborn Believed To Be Found

FARGO, ND — Authorities have found a newborn baby in connection with the search of a missing North Dakota woman and believe that the child belongs to the missing woman, Savanna Marie Greywind, who was eight months pregnant when her family reported her missing.

Police in Fargo, North Dakota said Greywind, 22, was reported missing on Aug. 19 by her family. She was last seen around 1:30 p.m. According to police, Greywind went to a neighboring apartment in the same building where she lives to assist her neighbor with a sewing project.

Police interviewed the tenants of the apartment Greywind visited, 32-year-old William Henry Hoehn and 38-year-old Brooke Lynn Crews. Crews told police Greywind left the apartment after helping her with the sewing project. After multiple consent searches of the apartment, at around 2 p.m. Thursday, officers executed a search warrant of the apartment of Crews and Hoehn.

Crews was home at the time of the search and a newborn infant was also in the apartment, police said.

"The infant was alive and was immediately taken to a medical facility," police said. "Our investigation thus far indicates the probability that this is Savanna Greywind’s child."

Hoehn and Crews were detained and brought to the police department. As further information was developed and information obtained, Hoehn and Crews were both arrested and charged with class A felony conspiracy to commit kidnapping, police said.

On Friday, police said they are seeking information regarding a brown 1996 Jeep Grand Cherokee four-door with the license plate numbers MN876EPR. Police say the car has rust on the roof and is missing paint on the hood and are asking anyone who may have seen the car between Aug. 19 and Aug. 24 to contact them.

Police say they have officers and detectives working round the clock on the investigation and they have canvassed the neighborhood area in search of Greywind. Police are asking for the communities' help in the search and are asking residents to check their buildings (garages, sheds, gazebos, fenced yards, etc.) for any signs of suspicious activity or evidence that may help in locating Greywind. They are also asking apartment rental property owners to check their properties for any signs of suspicious activities.

Greywind is 5-feet-4 inches and has brown hair. She was last seen wearing a pink shirt, dark spandex style shorts and white sandals. Police say they have worked with local, state and federal partners and have spoken to her family, boyfriend, neighbors and her employer. They have also attempted to trace her cell phone and have conducted K-9 searches and a river search and an aerial search.
