I thought the same thing, wow.

Very interesting idea, I had not considered them going swimming as a possibility of how they became undressed. The issues are tough here: how did an individual (or group for that matter) strip three boys and restrain them while alive? Forgive me if I missed this somewhere, but were they boys'...

This is a very interesting idea of the boys being forced to tie each other up. If this is a game, however, it would be intriguing to learn and/or postulate as to why they were found nude, because presumably this would have had to occur before being tied up.

Very awful story. It will be interesting to hear the reasons for the confinement as well as how long each child was locked in the makeshift cages.

I may have missed this in the discussion, but the documents continually say the "tying or binding of the victim." Does anybody know of any legal nuances that distinguishes "tying" from "binding?" I am curious if this is something that this Prosecuting office does, or if there is an actual legal...

I am curious if the family's that had her babysit knew her personally, or if they used online services where "trusted" babysitters can be found. The article is somewhat vague on that connection.

I do remember that photo as well, somewhere on Websleuths there is a very long thread to that. When I read your initial post regarding that, the connection I made is that the kidnappers apparently drove around with multiple victims in the back of the van, even though there is little context from...

When you posted this originally, I simply just passed it over, but as each day goes by without new information, I too have begun to feel something is off. If there is a girl that had been kidnapped and in a back of the van, I hope there would be a more urgent response and that someone in the...

That certainly is possible where a targeted victim can be lured into a situation where it appears another child is with the individual but, if the story is being reported corrected, the other girl had been tied up in the back of the van, so I do not think she would be the "bait" to get the other...

This is a very bold move by these perpetrators. It also seems odd to me that a girl that was kidnapped a couple weeks before would still be transferred while on the search for another victim. The more likely, yet horrible, possibly to me is that the girl in the van was kidnapped on the same...

This reminds me of the New York cop that was convicted of "fantasizing" about doing similar acts to his wife. Here is a link from CNN: http://www.cnn.com/2013/03/12/justice/new-york-cannibal-cop/index.html?iref=allsearch I am glad this person was caught before he could live out his fantasy on...

I totally agree. Unfortunately we see a lot of stories about children being abused, but I am stunned at the amount of detail that was included in these initial reports. While I think we often can imagine the horrible circumstances, the descriptions here make this situation even more shocking...

Thank you! I found this website a while ago when looking into another case (Anthony Martinez from 1997 in California), and love the collaborative nature of the discussions and debates. I hope to add to the great insights on here.

It is great that they found him before things escalated even further, but hopefully the children in these images can be located and rescued from these horrendous conditions.
