While Liberty police have not named anyone as a suspect, the records show Robert Jason Keegan picked Ferris and her sister up from their Liberty home around 4 a.m. on May 1 in a white pickup truck.
Keegan is now in federal prison on drugs and weapons charges.
Based on Ferris’s phone pings Spike obtained from the family, the three visited different locations throughout the morning, including abandoned houses known for drug activity.
One of those homes is at 27th & Oakley, where
Spike took 41 Action News in previous coverage.
The records show Keegan dropped the girls off at a McDonald’s on 31st and Van Brunt around 4:30 p.m., where a man named Mark Arzola picked them up and drove them to a McDonalds on 291 Highway in Liberty.
“I think probably within hours of leaving here, she realized what situation she got herself into and knew she wasn’t going to make it home,” Spike said.
Ferris’s sister told police she got out of the car, but Ferris stayed, and left with Arzola.
Arzola is now in Cass County Jail for violating his probation on a drug conviction and resisting arrest.
From the Liberty McDonald’s, Arzola told police he and Ferris went back to his house on Highland in south Kansas City, Missouri. The house is a place her family has gone to several times demanding answers after her disappearance.
But Spike says there is a discrepancy in what Arzola told Ferris’s family and what he told police.
