Overview
- The arrest of 19-year-old Cameron Keelan on Dec. 8 followed a Dec. 4 report on Edgedale Road that a man approached three young children and urged them to go with him.
- Officers also responded the same day to Immaculate Heart of Mary School, where the suspect was located nearby and subsequently barred from the property, according to police and administrators.
- Charging documents state a detective wrote that the man told the children their parents were not home and wanted them to go with him, an account echoed by the mother of two of the children in local interviews.
- Keelan is held without bail at the Baltimore County Detention Center; charging paperwork notes prior police contacts described as sexual in nature, and records his denial that he would harm children, citing participation in a sexual assault rehabilitation clinic.
- Baltimore County Police asked anyone with information to come forward, as county data show 31 kidnapping and abduction reports so far in 2025 and 111 statewide.
