They could then show the father a picture, and he verified that it was the same individual he had discovered in his daughter’s room.
After two anxious hours, authorities discovered Kramer hiding in a forested area close to Mt. Zion Road and Interstate 71/75. The search was stepped up with the assistance of Florence police and a drone.
Major Philip Ridgell of the Boone County Sheriff’s Office said that Kramer informed authorities that “he was planning on waiting them out.”
After meeting the girl in person, Kramer told police that he had messaged her on a messaging service before driving from Louisville to see her.
Kramer has connections to Northern Kentucky, Ridgell continued.
The girl told Kramer she was 13 after the meeting, and Kramer allegedly told her he was 15 and attended Ryle High School, a nearby school.
