A Forest Hill police sergeant discounted the report of two Good Samaritans who had called 911 and reported they’d found the car believed to have been used in the kidnapping of an 8-year-old girl in Fort Worth, according to the police chief.
“The two callers were obviously concerned,” Forest Hill Police Chief Dan Dennis said Thursday. “They had located what was correctly the suspect’s vehicle. He basically discounted that. He looked at the suspect vehicle as unrelated and essentially tried to talk them out of it being the right vehicle.”

Richardson Wolfe is also the same sergeant who had searched Webb’s room about two hours before the girl’s rescue but failed to find her, even though she was in the room.

It's frightening the police didn't find her the first time. He hid her under clothes in a basket and told he'd hurt her and her family if he made any noise. She remained silent.
I have to wonder how complete their search was when she was right there on the floor in front of them and they didn't bother to overturn, open, and check EVERYTHING.
Thank heavens they went back a second time.
