Authorities believe she is with Khaila Czereda, who is her non-custodial mother. She is wanted for custodial interference in Tennessee and felony child abduction by the San Diego County Sheriff's Office in California.
Legal documents reveal that Crum was granted legal custody of Iris in 2018, with court orders affirming Czereda's violation of these arrangements in September 2023.

It takes a village! Hats off to the Wilson County Rotary clubs for investing in our kids in such a tangible way. Putting 100,000 books in the hands of little learners is something to celebrate. I love that they store the books in a bank vault — they truly are priceless!
