The exact same scenario as the Polly Klass kidnapping and murder.

Exactly. And I'm trying to remember, but weren't the other girls at Polly's house told to keep quiet for a while, and they did? Or were they tied up? I can't remember the details. It seems perfectly believable that a 9 year old would be afraid to speak up if she had been threatened.

But this is simply horrifying.

Yes, I believe there was a sleepover at the Klass's home......other girls present. How terrifying!

I am 42 and it would paralyze me if a man came into my room and said that.
The 9yr old could have not known if this man was still in the house or what if she was in her bed paralyzed by fear.
I will continue reading but wanna ask do we have any Freepers in that area who could help by volenteering?
MSNBC has had this as the top story today I think the police did right by this family getting this info out in the media and searching for her as if this was the worst case scenerio.
It was reported on MSNBC that the abductor allowed her to get a pair of shoes on when she asked him. (for what that is worth)
I am glad he was not of Arab decent or some of ya'll would have the story really blown out with all your scenerios.
