SUMMARY: A six-year-old girl was kidnapped in North City when a 26-year-old woman allegedly threatened her mother and siblings with a gun. Witnesses reported seeing the suspect dragging the child into a home and binding her. Police responded to the sounds of the child’s screams, leading to the arrest of Bernese Crawford. She faces eight felony counts, including kidnapping and unlawful possession of a firearm due to a prior felony conviction. Neighbors describe Crawford as uncharacteristically involved in such behavior, suggesting it was a misunderstanding, but authorities continue with the investigation and could not reach her for comment.

Police said they followed the sound of screams in the rescue of a 6-year-old girl last week in north St. Louis City.
