A Terre Haute couple facing federal kidnapping charges is now headed back to Indiana.

Nicholas Runyon and April Bell were arrested in Pikeville, Ky. for the abduction of John Johnson-Christian.

Kentucky State Police say they are transferring the couple back to Indiana.

Police say the pair claimed to be taking the boy to a birthday party but instead left town and headed east across the U.S.

Police caught the couple three days later after leaving behind a trail of ATM transactions.

The boy has been returned to his mother.

Runyon and Bell will face charges of criminal confinement in Indiana.
