Couple chases down car sought in connection with 11-year-old's disappearance; Girl found safe

Charlotte Moccia, of Springfield, was rescued unharmed after she was apparently abducted after getting off the school bus on Wednesday afternoon.

The girl was forced into a dark blue Honda at about 1:26 p.m., "not long after she got off her school bus," according to Massachusetts State Police.

Authorities issued an Amber Alert and released photos of Charlotte and the car they said was used in the abduction. At around 7:15 p.m., state police began receiving 911 calls from motorists on the Massachusetts Turnpike who had spotted the car near Brimfield, about half an hour from Springfield.

Amanda Disley and Benny Correa were among those who spotted the car and called police. Disley shot video from inside the car while Correa followed the suspect, providing valuable information to police officers along the way.

"When he noticed that we were really chasing him all the way down the side streets, he just started blowing through every single red light, and my husband blew threw every single red light with him," Disley later told local television station WGGB.

"It's our city. We don't do that kind of stuff around here. That's not how we play, there's zero tolerance for that," Correa said of the abduction.

Officers eventually used a road construction site along the turnpike to funnel traffic into one lane, and then slow the traffic to a crawl. When they spotted the suspect's car, they stopped the vehicle and found Charlotte in the back seat, with the suspect in the driver's seat and a knife visible in the pocket of the door, police said.

Yes, dangerous with the following car also blowing through red lights. But the young girl would likely have been killed within hours otherwise. It brought to mind the young mother (daughter of a sheriff) who was abducted by a creep who spotted her in line at the post office and followed her home. A woman spotted her as the abductor was driving - the young woman was screaming and kicking at the windows - she called 911 as she was driving, but she lost the car and the young woman was killed shortly after. (In that case, there was also a problem with various jurisdictions not communicating with each other.)

There was video of the blue Honda taken just BEFORE the abduction, and the Amber Alert seems to have worked exactly as it was supposed to.

I hope it’s not an illegal.

We would be asked to respect their culture.

Reading between the lines of the article, I’d say yes.

... oh, do you mean the kidnapper?

To everyone who helped to save this girl: Good work!

The chase sounds almost like this "found footage" movie:

There’s so much evil in the world... Thank God the couple was brave and in the right spot. Without them the child would probably be dead by now.

These rat controlled governments protect the rapists, abductors, and the murderers by passing laws of social justice and letting them go free to attack your family. Here lies the problem. They have failed to protect the law abiding tax paying citizenry who pay to have the locked up!

So true. Average life expectancy for a child who has been abducted is four hours.
