Kelsey Peterson and a 13-year-old boy are believed to be on the run after police began investigating an alleged intimate relationship between the two.
Peterson, a sixth-grade teacher and basketball coach at Lexington Middle School in Nebraska, was placed on administrative leave last week. A judge issued an arrest warrant Monday charging her with kidnapping, child abuse and contributing to the delinquency of a minor.
Authorities believed the two were traveling together in Peterson's car and police nationwide were notified about them. Court documents said the boy was last seen Oct. 26.
The boy was a student at the school, but it was not clear if Peterson was his teacher.
In letters, the boy called Peterson his "Baby Gurl," and said their relationship was "just not about the sex but that it was pretty good," according to court documents.
Court documents say Peterson's school-issued laptop contained letters to the student, including one from April saying she loved him, thought he loved her, was "100 percent faithful" to him and would always be faithful.
