The DM described this man as the ex-boyfriend of her mothers'.
Take it w/the proverbial grain.

Possibly he 'groomed' this young teen ?
Hope they're found soon !!

Interesting, from this article "Police have not yet issued a warrant for Lynch’s arrest, nor have they publicly accused him of any wrongdoing."
Is that normal??? Do police wait until she's found to arrest?? Seems that a 34 year old man taking a 14 year old girl would be cause for a warrant

If this is the mom’s ex and she’s familiar with him, there might be an unsafe situation with Mom and he’s just interfering with custody and getting her out of it.

Oh dear... this is not good. Making me think of that case out of Ohio a couple years ago where the Marshals got involved.

Armed and potentially dangerous and "camping" (eg hiding out) don't make me think that Lynch was trying to help this girl.

 

[KaylynnCouture]

I wonder why there isn’t an Amber Alert? Unless I missed it. They have the suspect and vehicle description and seem to believe she’s in danger...

Scary situation regardless. I wonder how long ago they broke up, how long they were together, etc.

 

[mrz]

Rooting for you Isabel!

 

[swanniee11]

This is bad. If he was going to take her to "Spite" the ex girlfriend or get back at her for something, I don't see " The Woods, camping gear etc" being involved. If he had some "relationship, in his OWN mind" then it's a whole different story. IMO. Praying for her safety.

Let's hope so!

I think if his intentions were good, he would bring her to an aunt, his sister, somewhere she could be safe while contacting authorities to explain why she needed to get out.

I do not feel it is a likely scenario here nor do I think the FBI and local LE would be continuing to publish his picture and car and indicating he may be armed.

She needs to be found, and found quickly.
