Police, Child Abduction | featured news

The attempted abduction of a 10-year-old girl in Philadelphia was caught on a security camera and now police are offering a $10000 reward for information leading to the arrest and conviction of the suspect.

Federal investigators say the disappearance of a 3-year-old West Virginia girl is now considered a crime, the Charleston Daily Mail reports.

A 5-year-old girl was abducted from her Springfield house while she was sleeping early Saturday morning and assaulted outside the home before she returned, police said. Police were called to a townhouse in the 7000 block of Brocton Court shortly after 4 a.m. Detectives determined that an unknown man broke into the house sometime after midnight, went upstairs and took the girl from her bed. The victim’s parents and 1-year-old sibling were in the home at the time of the abduction, according to Fairfax County police spokesman Officer Don Gotthardt.

An unused, unstamped train ticket helped lead to charges against a Seattle man in the abduction and killing of a 7-year-old girl in 1957.
