On June 6 a tipster emailed a Florida Department of Law Enforcement agent, worried because 20-year-old Shawn Ryan Thomas told him he planned to kidnap a 9-year-old girl and rape her, murder her parents, use her in a child-*advertiser censored* movie and then kill her, too. He needed to talk to the agent "urgently," according to a search warrant in the case. The FDLE, though, did not intervene.
The next day, the girl, her father and grandfather went to a Longwood house, the spot where Thomas planned the murders and rape, authorities allege. He was a film student, he claimed, and had convinced them he would cast the child in a film he was making.
The grandfather met with Thomas but grew suspicious, in part because there was no furniture in the house and the floor of one room was covered with sheets of plastic. Thomas tried to talk him into staying, according to an arrest report, but the family left unharmed.
