After the police searched the house for the little girl, they found Shultis and her non-custodial mother, Kimberley Cooper, in a ‘makeshift room’ concealed beneath a closed staircase, which led to the house’s basement.

They both were apparently found inside the darkroom once the stairs were removed. 

Saugerties Police Chief Joseph Sinagra said in a statement: “A little over an hour into the search of the residence, the child was located secreted in a makeshift room, under a closed staircase leading to the basement of the residence.”

After being found the little girl was taken to the hospital to get her checked up. She was found in good health.

However, Kimberly Cooper was arrested on charges including custodial interference and endangering the welfare of a child. Her non-custodial father, Kirk Shultis Jr, was charged with felony custodial interference and misdemeanour child endangerment. 

Saugerties Police Chief Joseph Sinagra said “We believe… somebody informed the parents that the older child had been picked up by the legal guardian and by county officials at the time and that caused the parents then to take Paislee and flee.”

In the statement provided by Saugerties Detective Erik Thiele, he said that he noticed something about the staircase leading from the back of the residence into the basement of the house that caught his attention. 

They found the little girl’s feet after shining a torch near the stairs. Then after removing it, they finally found the child.
