BOSTON (WHDH) - Police have identified a man wanted in connection with the kidnapping of a 23-year-old mother who last seen leaving a nightclub in Boston’s Theater District on Saturday night.
A search is underway for Louis D. Coleman III, 32, of Providence, Rhode Island, after 23-year-old Jassy Correia, of Lynn, disappeared following a birthday celebration at Venu Nightclub, according to the Boston Police Department.
Crime scene investigators have roped off an area outside Coleman’s apartment building near Johnson & Wales University as they continue to probe Correia’s kidnapping.

Sky7 HD showed investigators sifting through a dumpster and trash bins. Officials did not detail exactly what they were searching for or if anything was found.
Shortly after leaving the nightclub, Correia was seen in the area of 255 Tremont St. in the company of an unknown man who police believe was Coleman.
Coleman is said to be traveling in a red Nissan Altima that was last spotted in Providence Thursday morning.

Correia, who is about 5 feet, 7 inches tall, was last seen wearing big hoop earrings, an orange jumpsuit, and a jean jacket with an image of red lips and pink wings on the back of it.
Her cousin, Katia Depina, says it isn’t like her to ignore calls and texts, especially considering she has a 2-year-old daughter.
“They’re close,” Depina said about Correia and her daughter. “She has her daughter every day. They’re very close.”
Correia’s father says he still believes his daughter is alive and that the family is holding out hope.
Anyone with information about Correia, Coleman’s whereabouts, or the vehicle is asked to call police at 617-343-4275.
