I have no doubt in my mind what's going on here. It just reminds us over and over and over again.... be dang careful who you let around your children.
I do *not* agree with what was posted upthread where LE is asking land owners to search their land for signs of these two. If he is armed and dangerous, this could result in some innocent Citizens getting mortally wounded. YES, *report* anything that looks suspicious, but *do not approach*.
The thoughts of the 14 year old are of no interest to me at the moment. She may have gone willingly depending on what this man filled her head with. Doesn't matter - she's a child, and a Victim.
Praying this child makes it out alive and that no Citizens are harmed in the process.
