Poor girl and her poor family...my heart goes out to them.

He is reported to be married with a small child. The police are also looking into another missing teen who vanished in Missouri a month ago. She is of similar age, height and looks to Kelsey.

I find it terribly troubling that an 18 yr old is taken in broad daylight from a Target car park. Target usually choose relatively good areas to locate their stores.

Absolutely tragic... but another illustration of the usefulness of CCTV...

Funny thing, that is the town my ex SIL lives in. She always wanted to move there from the other town they lived in in KS, and did after her husband retired from teaching.
Still you can have creeps and animals anywhere.

Unbelievable. Sad, very sad. The family, are devastated, saw them on TV. Does not seem possible, in broad day light. This stuff, happens everywhere. Guess we need more & more security guards, actively patrolling. I can't imagine the pain this family is in, makes me feel sick every time, I think about it.

He's been charged with 1st degree murder and aggravated kidnapping...and there's a good chance the charges will be elevated.

And it's main drawback - it can't do anything about the crime in progress.

It's a camera - not Robocop.

Shame isn't it!

Jerseygirl

No unfortunately...but it can help nail the b******. :curse:

Agree.

As I said, "Guess we need more & more security guards, actively patrolling". Camera's are great if someone is watching, not glancing or checking after the event.
We need more real people.

Hopefully it will deter some other sickos...

Jerseygirl

I would hope so...although there is talk he may have stalked poor Kelsey. If that's the case...probably nothing would have stopped him.
