I'm glad that he was STUPID enough to leave traceable fingerprints on that note.

Thank goodness she is safe n home with her family ❤

What kind of moron drives to the family home in the middle of the investigation and personally delivers a ransom note with his bare hands knowing his fingerprints are on file? I guess the same kind of moron who abducts a child. If you're going to be evil, at least be stupid so you're easily caught.

Wow.... hope he didn't hurt her. Miracle that she's ok.

That guy is missing some marbles, and there are so many ways this could have turned out disastrous for the little girl because of how mentally dysfunctional he seems to be.

[markouellette]

Hopefully he didn't abuse her any more than just taking her from her family and likely terrifying her.

Thankfully, this situation turned out with the child safely united with her parents.

[Paradys]

So she’s very Traumatized, the officer said… and they believe the victim was sexually abused…

🎉🎉 that is just a great 👍 report to hear! Charlotte is okay 👌. Praise God 🙌

[eddiearmijo]

Could she be his first. Or are there others out there ?

[KnockOut]

The best thing he did was to leave a his fingerprint on a ransom note!

[yeah_right]

Sometimes you CAN judge a book by its' cover.

This guy looks deranged.

[hysees]

Glad shes safe!!

My spouse has always said - thank God for stupid criminals. Hence fingerprint on ransom note.

[bustercrabbe]

This reminds me of the book: THE SHACK. Every family's nightmare.

[Respect-]

47 years for this monster? Unbelievable. He should never see outside of a jail cell again

[deva]

She was saved due to the dumbness of a criminal.

[yanksonexpress]

For God sake do not let this criminal out on the streets. Lock him up and throw away the keys.

Glad she's safe with her family 👪

I wish the LEO's kept the means by which the perpetrator was identified sealed. Everyone doesn't need to know. Perhaps keeping this information sealed would lead to other criminals being captured the same way. Now, future criminals will be smarter, wear gloves, and make solving more difficult. LEO's should 😶.

lets get a real timeline, how far does he live from the families home, why would he put a note in their box knowing they won't find it, how did he get in and out of the campground since they charge everyone coming in and have to give campsite information, we still don't have alot of info, doesn't sound like he had a car either

[susanhill]

Thank you Jesus! Great job to all who helped find her, both law enforcement and civilians. We were praying.
