Child Abduction Digest 10-14-12
Hackensack, NJ
Several attempted kidnappings, that police are describing as "luring away" incidents, have occurred in Northern New Jersey. According to ABC News, on October 12, 2012, there have been four reports of a suspicious male attempting to lure children into his car.
Just Friday morning in Hackensack, a man approached an 11-year-old boy as he walked to school.
Investigators say the man told the boy to get in his car but the boy ran. Another incident occurred where a male approached an 8th grade girl.
On Tuesday in Oradell a 7-year-old girl was approached in her front yard and on Saturday in Maywood, an 8-year-old girl, in her grandparent's front yard, says an older man offered to take her to look at puppies.
The most recent incident occurred in Passaic County, N.J. in Hawthorne just miles away from the locations originally targeted.
Cody, WY
The FBI has released a composite sketch of a man they say lured a young girl into his SUV on Monday and sexually assaulted her.
The girl has been reunited with her family, but the suspect remains on the loose. He is considered armed and dangerous.
Authorities say he approached the young girl at the Park County Complex in Cody on Oct. 8. He told her he was looking for his lost puppy. She got into the man's white SUV, possibly a 2004-2005 Toyota SR-5 4-Runner.
The girl was found several hours later by a group of hunters in a rural area.
Arvada, CO
Late Friday, authorities announced the dismembered body found in an Arvada, Colo. park this week is that of Jessica Ridgeway. They are now focused on apprehending the man who murdered her amid the recent abduction attempts of children in the area.
“Our focus has changed from the search for Jessica to a mission of justice for Jessica,” said Westminster Police Chief Lee Birk during a news conference. “We realize there is a predator at large in our community.”

According to The Daily Beast, three abduction attempts have taken place in the last month in the Arvada area. Two abductions that involved a white male with brown hair who was driving a blue sedan took place in the Arvada area on Sept. 9 and Sept. 12. Each time the man tried to lure children into his vehicle using candy. On Oct. 4, only a day before Jessica’s disappearance, two young girls reported a man in a white van followed them with his vehicle as they walked home from school. The van was reportedly seen in the area the morning Jessica vanished.
Arvada, CO
The search for missing Colorado 10-year-old Jessica Ridgeway took a tragic turn today when police identified a dismembered body found in a park just miles from her home as that of the fifth-grader.
The death marked the end of a massive search involving hundreds of state, local and federal authorities that began one week ago when she vanished during a two-block walk to a park to meet friends.
Tooele, UT
Police are warning residents to be careful and use common sense following three reports this month of attempted abductions and suspicious people.
Investigators do not believe the incidents are related, and in none of the cases was a child actually taken or anyone hurt, said Tooele Police Lt. Paul Wimmer. One of the incidents, however, did prompt the principal at East Elementary School to send a letter home to parents cautioning them about a suspicious man.
On Oct. 3, a man was spotted at Elton Park wearing only underwear. The man was reportedly in a vehicle, got out to walk around the car, and then got back in. At no time did he approach a student, Wimmer said. But because many of the children walk by or through that park on their way to and from school, a letter was sent home to the parents.
Canton, OH
Police said Friday they are investigating a possible abduction after a witness described a screaming young woman or teen being dragged into a car.
Detective Shawn Gaddis said the incident happened shortly after 3 p.m. Thursday along N.C. 215 on a bridge over the Pigeon River in Canton.
A witness standing about 100 yards away described seeing a burgundy or red car with a spoiler stopped on the bridge and a man and young woman or teen outside the vehicle.
“She heard a female screaming, ‘Help!’” Gaddis said. “She said the female was screaming really loud.”
Waterloo, IA
Eastern Iowa parents are on alert following news of two reported attempted child abductions in two days. Police say the first incident happened Wednesday in Waterloo, when a black man between the ages of 50-60 stopped a girl walking home from school and asked her if she wanted a ride. The second incident happened Thursday afternoon in Cedar Falls. Police report a white man with red hair pulled up next to a boy, and asked him if he wanted a ride and chocolate.
In light of what happened nearly three months ago in Evansdale, area parents are taking these reports seriously and using the opportunity to talk to their children about strangers.
Cedar Falls, IA
A boy said a man in a white van approached him as he rode his bike home from school Thursday, KWWL reported Thursday night.
Cedar Falls police said the incident happened around 3:50 p.m. near Lincoln Elementary, at the corner of 10th Street and Tremont Street. The boy said the man asked if he needed a ride and wanted chocolate. The boy rode away and the van left.
The man is described as white, in his 20s, with a red beard, wearing a black baseball cap. The vehicle was described as a large white van with black on the front and a large rear window.
The incident was the second abduction report in the Cedar Valley in as many days.

Arvada, CO
The Jefferson County School District has sent letters to parents of
25 schools warning them of two recent "stranger danger" cases.
The letters are asking parents to talk to their children and reinforce safe behaviors and remind them to always be aware of their surroundings.
Arvada Police are investigating the two attempted abductions. The first occurred last Sunday around 5:30 p.m., near 77th Drive and Terry Court. An 8-year-old boy was playing basketball in his driveway when he says he was approached by a man.
"Our neighbor came out and talked to us about it," Christi Brule, a neighbor of the little boy, said. "It was his son that it happened to. He just explained how the man came right up to him; right by the house in the driveway with the simple thing of, telling him he had candy. You know the things you tell your kids about and he actually used this line."

The sudden disappearance of a 10-year-old Colorado girl took yet another turn Wednesday, with authorities saying they believe she was abducted.
The case has seen a number of twists since Jessica Ridgeway vanished
Friday on what should have been a short walk to school. Police initially
said the public didn’t need to fear a kidnapper — then said they were
investigating whether the case might be related to that of another girl
who was abducted for several hours Monday in Wyoming, among other tips
they received.
On Wednesday afternoon, authorities changed course more definitively,
saying they believe Jessica was kidnapped by an ‘‘unknown suspect.’’
Cody, WY
While authorities continue to look for a man who abducted and possibly sexually assaulted an 11-year-old Cody, Wyo., girl on Monday before releasing her several hours later, the community is working to come to grips with what happened.
"I know that the community, number one, is grateful that the girl was found," said Bryan Monteith, superintendent of Park County School District 6, which includes Cody. "But there's a lot of anger based on the fact that someone does this to an 11-year-old girl. I think they want him caught and brought to justice."
Rialto, CA
Police in Rialto are searching for a man who tried to kidnap two girls walking home from school.
It happened on Tuesday as the teenagers were on their way home from Eisenhower High School in the 100 block of East Base Line Road.
A man pulled up in a dark-colored Jeep Liberty and asked the first girl for directions.
When she ran away, he got out of the vehicle and grabbed the second girl by the shoulders, according to police.
She kicked and punched the suspect, and he got back in his SUV and drove away.

Cherokee, IA
Just before noon Thursday, the Cherokee Police Department says it responded to an attempted abduction incident near the city's Central Park by Fareway.
Authorities say a 22-year-old adult male reported he was approached by a male suspect driving a silver van. The driver asked the young man where he was going, and told to "get in the car". The victim tells police he refused, and continued walking to work. The suspect turned around and drove away without any further contact.
The following is a release from Cherokee CSD Superintendent John Chalstrom:
In order to provide accurate information and prevent the spread of erroneous rumors, I would like to clarify reports that have been circulating in the school and community regarding a possible child abduction.
There was no attempt to abduct a student of the Cherokee CSD.

Stricter Safety Measures At San Mateo School After Girl Nabbed in Bathroom
San Mateo, CA
Leaders at a San Mateo school on Monday are vowing to adhere to stricter campus safety protocol following a scary attempted kidnap of a 9-year-old girl last week.
A new gate flanks Parkside Elementary School, and officials have said they will tighten up on how visitors, including parents, drop off and pick up their children, by making them sign in at the front desk, as is typical school policy.
The extra vigilance stems from what happened last Friday, when a suspect now identified as Bradley Mrozek, 25, of San Francisco is accused of getting onto school campus near the end of the school day and groping a 9-year-old girl in the school bathroom. He took her off campus, his hand clamped over her mouth, prosecutors say, though she was able to get away by kicking him and throwing rocks.
