Sounds like a lie or an urban legend.
UPDATE!
I asked my Mom and she does remember the incident in Memphis, TN with the little girl named Drew. She evidently escaped a would-be kidnapper that approached her and ran, sobbing and distraught, into my Grandparents’ house. She got away in time before anything happened.
I am so glad to now know that she was not murdered!
Thank you to everyone who answered here and to those who suggested I ask family members! That literally never crossed my mind to even ask my own mom. She could not recall any further details though.
(Now, I am wondering about the perp and if they ever succeeded in kidnapping or other crimes. I pray that they were never able to harm or attempt to abduct another child…)
Thank you all again!
