<font color=navy>Just heard breaking news that the two girls were found safe in a remote area....

There were thousands of leads, and in the past hour (the news reported), there was information that led the authorities to focus on another county - further south than from where they were abducted, and they were continuing the search there.... following big car tracks on a dirt road.... that was the last we heard until the breaking news just now.

<font color=navy>Live Update right now.... (about 1:30 Los Angeles time)


Suspect had a gun at the scene

Suspect is deceased

Parents are being flown to see their dd's

No news on the condition of the girls, except that they are safe & at the Sheriff's office (not hospital)

People reported spotting him twice - about 100 miles from where they were abducted in Kern County, and the police were able to follow up

Roy Ratliff was the name of suspect (no age yet) from Rosemont - $300 warrant for his arrest


note: the dep sheriff reporting this definitely had a shaky voice - he was emotionally affected

The Amber System works -- it was activated by Governor decree just last Friday

I changed the channel to KTLA and broke into tears when I heard the news. I don't know why this one is affecting me so much, especially when they are safe - maybe it was just too real, with them being my age...I can't even imagine going through that...

Thank God they are safe.

That is wonderful news! Thank God!

I just heard from a friend that there was an 'inticement' incident here in Boise again. We have these A LOT! One of these days it isn't going to be 'an inticement' I'm afraid. :(

Keep your eyes and ears open everyone!!!

Just heard it in the car! Wonderful news, isn't it? They haven't released too much detail except that the girls are alive and the captor was killed when they rescued the girls. Hopefully, the girls didn't suffer any abuse or torture. But, they are alive!

Binny, it was near Cynthia Mann Elem. in NW Boise. Apparently the police didn't want to make it public, but the parents of the little girl decided that they did. So they made up flyers and passed them out to the neighbors. And from there, the story spread like fire. This either happened earlier today or yesterday.
