Two Men Arrested For Kidnapping & Raping Johnson County Sheriff’s Deputy

Johnson County, KS – On October 7th a Johnson County Sheriff deputy, with only 6 months on, was kidnapped and sexually assaulted. Two men have now been charged in this appalling act. 

It is now being reported that William Luth, 24, and Brady Newman-Caddell, 21, are responsible in this apparent ambush on the Johnson County Deputy. The deputy was believed to have been followed from the QuikTrip convenience store to the parking lot of the Olathe detention facility where she worked, and that’s where the suspects abducted her at around 11:30 PM.

The deputy’s eyes were covered with a sweatshirt as Luth and Newman-Caddell drove around sexually assaulting her. Around 1:15 a.m. the Johnson County Deputy reported being released by the suspects who told her to keep her head down as they sped away. She would then walk north to the Johnson County Sheriff’s Office in Lee’s Summit to get help.

After receiving a tip, Luth and Newman-Caddell were taken into custody just over the state border in Jackson County, the vehicle used in the assault was recovered as well.

DNA evidence has been recovered and submitted indicating that there were in fact two separate male profiles.

The Johnson County Deputy was not in uniform, nor was she armed when this attack occurred and its unclear if she was targeted because of her profession. But, this motive has not been ruled out, Capt. Brian Hill with Johnson County Sheriff’s Office stated “I do believe there was some planning, premeditation for lack of a better word on carrying out this horrific act.”

Sheriff Denning also released a statement about the victim; “She has been able to help with the investigation. She has a lot of support from family. She has a lot of support here. There are many who have been in touch with her. And all things considered, she’s doing OK.”

William Luth and Brady Newman-Caddell are currently held in the Jackson County Detention Center with a $1 million bond. Both are being charged with aggravated kidnapping, aggravated sodomy and rape.

Please continue to keep this Johnson County Deputy in your thoughts and prayers as she recovers.
