By Brooke Shafer, CBS Miami May 12, 2021 Self-proclaimed witch Shannon Ryan has been charged with second degree murder and tampering with evidence in the case of missing mom Leila Cavett. Cavett, 21, was last seen on the night of July 25, just hours before her two-year-old son, Kamdyn, was found wandering alone in a shirt and diaper at a Miramar apartment complex. The mother and son had arrived in South Florida the day before she went missing. Investigators have determined that she spent time in several Broward County communities, including Hollywood, Miramar, and Fort Lauderdale. Her vehicle was found unattended July 28 in Hollywood. Investigators arrested Ryan, 38, and charged him with kidnapping Cavett's son with the intent of collecting a ransom, reward or other benefit and lying to a federal officer.
