Warrant Reveals Online Contact and Multi‑State Travel in Wynter Wagoner Case as Suspect Is Held Without Bond

A judge ordered Christian Delgado jailed pending extradition to Kentucky.

Overview

  • Delgado, 37, appeared by video in a Maryland court on Dec. 29, called the case a misunderstanding, and was denied release as the judge ordered no bond.
  • He is expected to be extradited to Kentucky on Jan. 26 to face a kidnapping charge, according to local reporting on the court schedule.
  • An arrest warrant obtained by LEX 18 says the Oct. 14 incident began after Delgado met the 13-year-old online and that she had planned to run away for weeks.
  • The warrant states Delgado told authorities he drove from Florida to Kentucky to get the girl, returned to Florida, and ultimately brought her to his Maryland home.
  • Wagoner was found after she called an aunt with her Maryland location on Dec. 26, was taken for a hospital evaluation, and authorities credited a multi-agency effort involving local police, the FBI, and U.S. Marshals.
