Police desperately search for a young mother who mysteriously disappeared from her own front yard

St. John was reported missing on Tuesday when the front door of her home was found open and her two small children, 2 and 3 years old, were alone inside, according to police.

The Middlesex Sheriff's Office says Alvin Keyser was taken into custody and questioned by the Middlesex County Sheriff's Office. Keyser showed law enforcement where the body was located. "We know it is all over social media right now and if anybody has any information about this to please call the sheriff's office".

WTVR reported that St. John's vehicle was still in the driveway, her cellphone was found in bushes outside her home and authorities found a broken necklace in the front yard.

Deputies searched the property and discovered St. John's cell phone in bushes outside the house and a broken necklace in the yard of the home.

Keyser told detectives that he confronted St. John at her home and she hit him, so he hit her back. He said he pushed her out of the van he was driving [it's unclear how St. John ended up in his van at this time].

Those family members say because of the evidence left behind, they believe a struggle took place outside the home.

St. John was reported missing early Tuesday morning after she didn't show up for work.

St. John, who recently moved to Wake, had planned to drop her children off at daycare before heading to work, Samson said. However, the sheriff's office declined to comment on the cellphone and necklace, citing its ongoing investigation.

Samson said investigators have interviewed several persons of interest, adding that each cooperated and submitted DNA samples that are being analyzed in a crime lab. Michael Sampson said. "We've contacted family and friends".

The sheriff's office said K9 units from the Gloucester County Sheriff's Office and aerial units from the Virginia State Police searched for St. John on Tuesday and Wednesday.

A missing poster being circulated by the Aware Foundation of Virginia described St. John as being 5 feet 6 inches tall, weighing 130 pounds and having blue eyes and blonde hair.
