Davenport Iowa reports self described vagabond preacher Robert Anthony Williams surrendered to police as a 14 year old Pamela Powers remains missing after the Des Moines YMCA abduction. Williams a former Missouri mental hospital escapee gave himself up at the urging of his own accord. Authorities say the fate of Pamela Powers is not yet known and a warrant had charged him with child stealing. The arrest ends a 44 hour search following the Christmas Eve disappearance. The case ties Williams to multiple aliases Rev Anthony and other details including a car description and license. Pamela is the daughter of Merlin and Mrs Powers of Urbandale a Des Moines suburb. Evidence indicated witnesses saw Williams leaving the YMCA with a wrapped item in a blanket and the car fled as they approached. Security guards reported the attempted confrontation failed as Williams claimed he carried a mannequin. Williams is slated for transfer to Des Moines later today.
