There needs to be brutal punishment for crimes like this.

Thank God this girl was found and was not physically harmed. How terrifying for her and her family. There are far too many sick, twisted

Why not show him? Are they protecting his identity? Why do that?

If you have any doubts that Kevin McCarthy is a RINO put them to rest. All you have to do is ask yourself one thing, and that is, Have you ever seen so many Democrats come to the DEFENSE of a Republican Speaker of the House? Speaks Volumes!

Odd they didn't show the guy's photo

Great job on destroying your life and going to prison for life. Thank God she was found. When i first heard about it i didn't think there was much hope and its always terrifying when you hear the details

That poor baby will have a lifetime of ptsd. 😢

[pandabear]

I don't mean to sound skeptical, but something smells fishy.
