Wargod | Thursday, August 01, 2002 - 02:43 pm     http://www.cnn.com/2002/US/08/01/teen.abduction/index.html (Sorry, I could not for the life of me get this to link right.) The girls were kidnapped early this morning, and were found about an hour ago. I was waitng for the news conference when the news came in that the girls had been found safe. The crowd was very emotional, and I will admit to letting out a whoop of joy and crying a bit. This is a small town where it happened. The area where they were at is a well known hang out for the teenagers in the Valley, but it is hard to get to unless you know exactly where you are going. From the news I've been watching the suspect grew up in the area. These two girls were kidnapped about 7 miles from my house, about 3 blocks from my sis' house. When I drove to get my neice this morning, I couldn't figure out what was going on with all the cops and helicopters in the area as I hadn't seen the news, and didn't have the radio on in the car. The Amber alert system was put to the test (and I haven't been able to find any stories on that yet other than whats been on the news and in the press conferences, sorry.) this morning for the first time. It acts like the Emergency alert system, in that all radio and tv stations start to broadcast the details of the missing child, the suspect, and the vehicle being driven. Also it was flashed on caltrans signs and has been covered in great detail in the media. I can't even relate right now how overjoyed I am by this news. Considering the abductions that have taken place the last few months and how awful those have turned out, it is absolutely amazing to me that these girls were found safe! |
Max | Thursday, August 01, 2002 - 02:45 pm     I am SOOO glad to see this news!!! |
Azriel | Thursday, August 01, 2002 - 02:48 pm     YES! I'm really happy they are back safe. |

Jewels | Thursday, August 01, 2002 - 03:15 pm     VERY good news! |
Kady | Thursday, August 01, 2002 - 04:00 pm     It is always good to hear some good news. |
Sia | Thursday, August 01, 2002 - 08:38 pm     The CNN news article stated that both girls had been raped. Please pray for them and for their recovery, both physical and emotional/spiritual. I'm glad that the "suspect" was killed by police. Why waste the money on a trial? I applaud the arresting officer(s). |
Wargod | Thursday, August 01, 2002 - 09:01 pm     Aw, Sia, I hadn't seen that yet. He was wanted on a three million dollar warrant for rape. After being so joyful this afternoon that they were found safe, I am so sorry that this has happened to them. I am still very happy they were found safe, but very sad right now too for what has happened to these two young ladies. http://www.cnn.com/2002/US/08/01/teen.abduction/index.html |
Jules | Thursday, August 01, 2002 - 09:39 pm     I know this is not the right thread to post this, but there is something going on in my family and I need some support and prayers. Tuesday morning around 8am my cousin called in sick to work, at his office- hes a doctor in Houston, and no one has seen him since. He wont answer his cell phone or his pager. We are so worried sick about him. Its just not like him to disappear like that. He has a new baby and a wife at home waiting on him and its just tearing the family to pieces to think of all the possibilites that could happen to him. Please just keep us in your thoughts.... |
Sia | Thursday, August 01, 2002 - 10:47 pm     We'll certainly pray for your cousin and his family, Jules. This must be very difficult for everyone. (((((((((((Jules)))))))))))) Praying for good news. |
Jules | Thursday, August 01, 2002 - 11:10 pm     Sia, I wrote you a message in your folder but Ill say it again here Thank you. Hopefully we will hear something good soon. |

Jules | Friday, August 02, 2002 - 07:16 am     Ok, I have bad news they found my cousin this morning at 5am apparently he overdosed, with so many things going on he just couldnt deal with the pressure I guess. So, Ill be going to Houston this weekend to help prepare for his funeral and find out more about why he did it. SO once again please keep me in your thoughts and prayers. |
