I was SO hoping they would be seen before it got dark! :(

Does it always look like that or did police board it up? Looks kinda rough :-/

Per googling, I believe it is a state issued photo ID for a minor, ie the vertical orientation. Still not sure why a 13 year old would need one though.

Yes, it was. It is her aunt's car per LE's post here => Lumberton Police Department

I noticed that. I believe she was taken between lots 38 & 39 but lived in lot 102. Maybe her parents and aunt live in the same mobile home park? Or maybe the lots back each other or are adjacent somehow? Just thinking out loud...

Question, what kind of ID is shown in this article? Is it a state issued photo ID from NC? And if so, why would a 13 year old have/need one? Not sure if related to case or not but wondering. For a job? Lumberton teen forced into stolen SUV, kidnapped from neighborhood

Yes, I saw that on the map, except it says the vehicle was last seen turning left on Elizabeth Town Rd, after leaving the mobile home park, which is in the opposite direction of I95... So maybe they're staying local? Or felt that they would be less visible that direction?

Thanks and sounds like we're thinking along the same lines... Praying they find her fast!

Sounds like she had the keys and had gone outside to start her aunt's car. The timing is just too perfect.... Where did the perp come from at just the "right" time dressed like that?!? Is this a daily routine that someone observed and exploited or...?

After listening again, sounds like she was outside waiting for family to come out and take her to school. And the perp forced her into a relative's car, which they then stole? Was it running? How would they steal it? Was perp related or a neighbor? Timing seems too perfect! Seems it was most...

She was waiting to go school. And it was a relative's vehicle?! Her relative or the perp stole it from 'his' relative? It sounded like the perp stole the vehicle at the time of the abduction from what was said.

I got the Amber Alert for her in eastern PA at 10:30 this morning. Does that mean LE thinks they may be headed this way or we're just a possible destination?

I thought the same thing :( :sigh: Hope she is getting the help she needs, her family too.

Not much new info, but, as mentioned he waived his preliminary trial and there are now additional charges: "The new charges include concealment of the whereabouts of a child, a third-degree felony, and corruption of minors, a first-degree misdemeanor, and stem from his taking Yu out of the...

I'm SO happy she's been found, but this is what I was afraid of: Praying she and her family get some good counseling and help during the reintegration process. What a sad mess :( (quote source...

Seriously? Dumb enough?! The funny thing about grooming is that the person being groomed doesn't know that they're being groomed. It's all kinds of head games. And that's even more true if it began at a young age. We don't know when he started, but he's known her since she was SEVEN. And not...

More info in this article and some new info to boot: "He and his family had known Y. since she was about seven years old, meeting at church about eight or nine years ago, according to attorney John Waldron, representing Esterly’s wife Stacey. Y. lived in Allentown with her mother and younger...

"The @mcall has learned that Kevin Esterly, a married father of 4, rented this $650 apartment just blocks from Yu's home. On Tues., his landlord evicted him citing "police presence."" Guess we can guess where they were when he signed her out of school those 10 times... :(...

Not surprised that it was going on since summer, just more so that his wife suspected it that long and they'd been fighting about it since then. Guess the recent series of events were it all coming to a head. Guessing maybe she's talking to help clear herself of suspicion, especially since...

I read somewhere unofficial that a guy friend of hers told her to stay away from him, that he was bad news. Shame she didn't listen :(
