what is wrong with you people?..the little girl of 9 was threatened to death and the death of her sister if she said anything... nine years old!!!! there was definately a breakin..this is not a friendly kidnapping or runa way

The average nine-year-old has trouble obeying her parents, let alone a total stranger. At the same time, the natural instinct of the average nine-year-old, when truly terrified, would be to go STRAIGHT to her parents as soon as she could. Neither of those things happened here.

Now, the little girl may also really BE terrified at this moment, if her older sister is dead and she has been instructed by someone she knows to tell the police a certain story. Time will tell.

Sorry for being skeptical.

If it really played out as described, every minute following the abduction would feel like an eternity. I just don't see how a nine year old could hold out for two hours, particualarly under threat of death and knowing that her sister were in immediate danger.

Normally I'd hope I was wrong, but in this case I pray that I'm right, because the alternative is to horrible to imagine.
