Tennessee girl allegedly abducted by uncle found safe by 2 'heroes,' official says

"Carlie is safe tonight because of an entire community pulling together with law enforcement to bring her home," Mark Gwyn, Director of the TBI, told reporters at a press conference Thursday evening.

Gwyn said there are no indications that Carlie was harmed, but she is being taken to a hospital as a precaution to be examined.

Gwyn said her safe return came after two men, Donnie Lawson and Roger Carpenter, were checking property as the TBI had asked people to do, when they found Carlie and her uncle on a trail only accessible by four-wheeler vehicles.

Carpenter, a Baptist minister, held Simpson at gunpoint while Lawson called police, according to Gwyn.

“This is a case of two heroes who went on their property to see if, by chance, if they were there, and they were," he said. "I think this is a clear message to the public that we need your help on this.

Thank God for a happy ending, because usually, these things don’t end well.

Praise the Lord! This little girl has had a rough life......mother and father in prison. This uncle by marriage had no right to take her in this way even if he and his wife were her guardians at one time. This girl needs a safe, loving home and I hope the authorities make sure she gets one!

Praise God.

I’ve prayed and I’ve been so worried and concerned about that beautiful little girl.

Thank You, Lord!

Thank You, Jesus!

A new movie: “A Prayer, A Pastor and a .45!”

Who says there is no God?

Great news! But, how can they be heroes if they had guns?

What do you think are the chances of that?

I’m glad the girl is safe. Hope she stays that way.

Praises, indeed.

This “uncle” sounds like a sick puppy...from the looks of his “shopping” list, at link.

At last some good news. Often after all this time, kidnapped children are found dead.

Alot of prayers. The way this gooberment works it will probably be an uphill climb for anyone wanting a child to love and protect.......just pray....that’s all we have left.

I thought that myself after I read who the rescuers were. Like I said, pray that something good happens out of all of this.......;)
