Pittsburgh (WPXI) — A Pennsylvania man is behind bars for allegedly luring an 11-year-old into his car and authorities say an iPad helped police find the child.
Police say 43-year-old Keith Lilliock was reportedly working at a Youngwood Dollar General Sunday night when police say he lured an 11-year-old girl.
"I was just blown away. I couldn't believe it because I know Keith. I shop here all the time. He always works in the evenings."
State police say it was around 8:30 when Lilliock allegedly told the 11-year-old that he would drive her wherever she wanted after he closed the store that night.
The criminal complaint says Lilliock told the 11-year-old to wait at the gas station until then.
"My younger daughter knows him. She was just devastated. We have a granddaughter. He always asks about her granddaughter."
The 11-year-old told troopers that while she was in the passenger seat, Lilliock touched her left leg and rubbed her inner thigh before he put his hand on her stomach under her shirt.
The girl told police this happened until she asked to be taken to a friend's house.
"I would have never expected it from this guy. I would have never thought in a million years. Ever. Not from this guy here, ever, polite, kind."
The girl's grandmother reported her missing to state police.
Authorities were able to find her by pinging her iPad to a location on Del Way where they were able to get her to safety.
Through video surveillance, troopers were able to link Lilliock to the luring.
Police took him into custody at his second job at Online Stores.
When questioned by police, Lilliock claimed that he told the 11-year-old that she could warm up in his car and that he drove the child to his house so that he could get $20 for gas and laundry.
