Charles Ryan Alexander died untimely after he kidnapped his daughter, Oaklynn Alexander. The duo were left to face the police in a standoff. While this ended fatally, the young girl’s pleas over a 911 call remain the most horrendous cries.

Oaklynn, 7, who was in primary custody of her mom was kidnapped by Charles, her non-custodial dad. She was left in the care of her grandmother in eastern Ohio when he forcefully took her. Immediately, the family called the authorities, and an Amber Alert was issued.

According to the Medina County Sheriff’s Office, the police tailed the suspect and eventually deflated his tires. But rather than submit, Charles Ryan Alexander used Oaklynn as leverage. He threatened to end their lives while speaking on a 911 call.

Per the NY Post, in the audio recorded on November 11, the little girl asked her father if they would die and wanted to know if they would go to heaven. Oaklynn was persistent with her questions about heaven until she realized that it meant dying. The 7-year-old then tried to talk her dad out of it, saying “I’m not ready to go to heaven today.”

Shockingly, a rather reluctant Charles Ryan Alexander did not try to calm things down. Instead, he told her it was her mother—Ashley’s fault. Charles was still unrelenting which eventually led the police to shoot him. Unfortunately, he died on the spot, and Oaklynn was rescued to be with her other family members. Meanwhile, a GoFundMe has been set up for the 7-year-old and the funds will be used to cater to her.
