KANSAS CITY, Mo. — A man who fled the United States after being charged with murder in a fatal Overland Park traffic crash that killed a 75-year-old woman is back in Johnson County and is scheduled to be in court Monday.
Isaiah Sadowski, 24, is at the Johnson County Adult Detention Center.
A judge set his bond in the murder case at $15 million. He must make his first court appearance before he will have a chance to post bond.
Sadowski is accused of killing 75-year-old Barbara Patterson in a crash on Dec. 27, 2021, at West 127th Street and Quivira Road in Overland Park.
Patterson was arrested, but a judge lowered his bond to $150,000.
He posted bond and was released from jail.
In earlier reporting, KSHB 41 stated that Sadowski did not appear for a hearing in March 2024.
By June, Sadowski admitted on YouTube that he had left the United States.
A spokesperson for the United States Marshal's Service told KSHB 41 they discovered Sadowski was in Mexico.
He was then brought back to the United States.
