Got her back alive and nailed the scumbag too at the same time. Hope they put him in a cell where something horrible can happen to his posterior.

The messed up part is she was 15 miles away from home. Its a shame it took 9 months for the cops to catch this guy. I'm afraid this shows how people can get too caught up in their own lives to watch out for this type of BS.

However things could have ended up a lot worse.

All they need to do is give him some very slippery soap in prison...the rest will take care of itself...

All I can say is, her dumb-assed parents better count themselves lucky, I hope they learned their lesson.

Something doesn't sound right though...

It looks to me like she ran away with the guy, but I'll keep my mouth nshut about that until the cards fall in their places.

Well I did see a clip about her folks inviting this guy to the house to give him some work. Now I know there are some bleeding-heart folks out there, but you have to use some common sense about inviting dirtbag looking strangers to your home. Lecture over...

It is amazing they got her back. The time table for successful recovery of a party abducted by a stranger is not good at all...days usually, not months.

You hit it EXACTLY on the head, 99!! (Sound like Maxwell Smart, don't I? ).

Having said that, I'm really happy for the girl and family and friends - and yes they're very lucky! :thumb:

Very happy for the parents. :thumb:

I cannot imagine how upset I would be if I lost my son...

Well according to reports she wasnt in Salt Lake the entire time. According to what most of the major networks have said, she was brought to San Diego at one point and other places. Also it has been mentioned that she had 2 people with her at all times and that she couldn't escape.

Also the guy that kidnapped her, has a stepdaughter who said that he made "Uncomfortable advances in the past as a child" and said that Elizabeth resembles her when she was that age, and that is a possible motive for the kidnapping.

But I agree those parents are lucky they got her back and still alive.
