A police officer testified that a man accused of trying to kidnap a young Utah girl from her bedroom rambled on after his arrest about drug cartels, the FBI and voices coming from a radio. The testimony by Sandy Police Detective Robert Webb came during a hearing where a judge determined there is sufficient evidence to send 48-year-old Troy Morley to trial on a felony child kidnapping charge...

During his testimony, Aaron Edson said Morley was wearing shorts and a sleeveless shirt on the frigid night and said he was going to be killed unless he had the girl. "I want to help you, but you can't take her with you," Edson recalled saying. Morley eventually handed the girl over to Edson and said, "'I need to get to a church. If anything happens to me, call the FBI.'" Edson testified. He later told a police detective that he thought Morley was either high or insane.

Aaron Edson revealed Wednesday that his daughter has cerebral palsy and has physical limitations that make it difficult for her to walk. That's why he and his wife were alarmed when they woke up at about 4:30 a.m. to hear their daughter talking and the front door opening.

"He's caused some problems for himself, too, but he did not cause this problem — period. He did not. It was through a prank. Someone thought it was a joke. And it fired up in his face, because they slipped something in his drink," Gary Stokes said following a court appearance by his son, Troy Morley...

Stokes does not believe his son has mental health issues or a drug problem, but instead "needs to stay away from certain people"...

Stokes said his son blacked out and keeps remembering bits and pieces of that night but can't remember much. He said he entered the Edsons' house because the door was open and he planned on dropping L off at a nearby church.

from above link:
"Morley’s father, Gary Stokes, insisted that his son wasn’t guilty because someone slipped him drugs and he didn’t know what he was doing early on the morning of Nov. 7, 2014."




Sounds like the perp's Dad has a serious case of denial.
