19-Year-Old Oconomowoc Man Accused Of Holding A Missouri Girl Captive

[Satanica]

Nathan Nehs first contacted the victim through a gaming platform three years ago when he was 17 and she was 11. September 16 of this year he left his Oconomowoc, Wisconsin, home to go pick her up at her home in Joplin, Missouri. The article says she threw her phone into a sewer to avoid being tracked but also says

Oconomowoc police received a citizen complaint for the missing girl at 9:46 p.m. Nov. 2.

According to the complaint:

The girl's electronic devices revealed a series of "concerning" messages in which she appeared to be held captive in Nehs' trunk. Multiple text messages from the girl to Nehs on Sept. 20 stated she demanded to be let out of the trunk.

On the way back to Oconomowoc, Nehs said he avoided tollways because he did not want to get caught. Nehs told the girl that if she wanted to go home, he would take her back.

The two arrived in Oconomowoc at around 11 p.m. Sept. 17. Nehs' parents became aware the girl was in their home between Sept. 20 and early October.

Nehs told his parents he was dating the girl. The girl told his parents she was 16 years old and lived locally.

The girl, who had been missing since mid-September, said Nathan Nehs sexually assaulted her 24 times and kept her in a closet for two weeks, according to a forensic review at the C.A.R.E Center in Waukesha, after being found.

Nehs' parents, who reside in the Oconomowoc home, located the girl and took her to police.


If convicted, Nehs faces up to 40 years in prison and up to a $100,000 fine.

A $50,000 cash bond was set for Nehs, who is being held at the Waukesha County Jail. Nehs waived his right to a preliminary hearing, and he has been bound over for trial. His next hearing is scheduled for Jan. 29.

Seems she went willingly with him until she figured out this guy didn't drive all that way and back to just play video games with her. I really hope she's learned from this experience that you can't trust anyone these days, but most especially guys on the internet.

I remember this well. I use to live in the Joplin metro. There were missing signs for that girl all over town. I was expecting her to never be found.

Parents like that, who needs a parole officer? Oh yeah, THIS GUY!!!

At 16 he started grooming her? Then continued for 3 years? That’s scary. This one needs to be locked up forever. Since that probably won’t happen, hopefully he’ll be very closely monitored when he gets out of jail.

Right. He was 17 when he started that shit and she was 11, so he's a pedophile, and he will re-offend. This wasn't the folly of youth where a couple of teens made a mistake.

This guy is in it for the long haul, he's willing to wait for as long as it takes, patiently like the spider and the fly. He is dangerous. Next girl will not be so lucky, he'll have his little game worked out so that no one knows the next time.

I know some girls can look older but I have a hard time believing a 11yr could pass for 16yr at all.

Looking at that picture of him makes me almost want to be physically sick. He is so pale and pasty, and has void eyes. He is basically a dead man, except that his organs still work.

Can they get federal charges for him crossing state lines? Not sure if the punishment would be worse than in state courts but if so, that’s the route I’d go.

And I agree, he’s a pedo for life. He’ll keep getting older, but his ideal victims will stay the same age.

Why weren't the parents vigilant on what this child was doing while gaming? It's hard for me to believe he started grooming her at 11 and she showed no signs, my daughter can't keep a secret to save her life.
