How big is this complex? 20 units? Hundreds? I hope they are checking people as they enter and leave.

Are they searching the residences? Not just outside?

I am impressed with how quickly LE has worked but where is this beautiful baby?

Do we know if they were taken into custody from inside of their residence in the condo complex? If so, Cupcake clearly wasn't inside with them...that scares me.

I tried to find out how many units but only found horrific reviews.

Also, it seems like the absolute dumbest thing to do to park out in the open in the condo complex where you live and would obviously be seen by other residents while you are on the run after kidnapping a child and are the subject of an Amber Alert and all over the news...they must have known there were going to be found extremely quickly, no? They could have made any efforts at all to hide the vehicle but they chose not to...why?

I am starting to question the accuracy of the perp info. Sigh.

This same thing happened in Texas a few months ago. A little girl was snatched from her mother’s arms, and dragged into a vehicle. Thanks to a photo of the vehicle, and an Amber Alert, this guy was arrested at the extended stay hotel he was residing at.

In that one, the suspect was apprehended within hours, which likely saved the girl’s life.

He also parked in the open, apparently unconcerned that his vehicle could lead to his identification, which is exactly what happened.

Maybe someone borrowed this guys vehicle?

This photo appears to match the description of the clothing and hair bobbles that Cupcake had on at the party. She’s such a cutie!

Yes from an earlier article or tweet I read, they said the photo was taken earlier in the day before the party. JMOO until I can find the link

Did someone take a baseball bat to the Toyota before they got there? I don’t recall hearing it had drivers side damage all along the side.... or dents in the passenger side.

It’s not exactly difficult to see, you’d think the video would have shown them that?

The back bumper does match though. That makes me feel a bit better.

I wish that I could watch that video. Unfortunately, flashing lights really bother my eyes and I can't tolerate it for too long.

This has a still shot of the driver's side of the vehicle.

Was the vehicle description on this previously?

This is the first time I am seeing the FBI Kidnapping alert, so I am not sure. The rest of the flyers & such have the vehicle description on them though.

That’s why I linked the photos too. I don’t do flashing lights well either and they are SO bright!

I don't know but did you catch the part about contacting the "nearest embassy or consulate"? Is the POI from another country?

 

[MsFacetious]

I know they don’t believe it’s a custody thing. But I am still hoping maybe it’s a prior guy who believes she’s his daughter. Or something.

I know that’s insane though. I know it is.

 

[LaborDayRN]

Hypothetically... if POI and the girlfriend had children of their own, what could be the motive for taking Cupcake?

I don't even want to imagine what the motive would be.

 

[MsFacetious]

Isn’t that standard in case the victim is taken out of the country? Or maybe I’ve just only seen cases where that was possible.

It's going to be hard to sleep tonight and I'm sure I'm not alone. I hope the morning brings good news about Cupcake.
