Oh so glad she has been found!

I think there is going to be a press conference in about 15 minutes. http://www.startribune.com/woman-de...-a-godmother-to-missing-5-year-old/384109011/
Bemidji Police Chief Mike Mastin and others in law enforcement scheduled the news conference for 1 p.m. Thursday to discuss the fire and Brittany's brief disappearance.

I forgot that I'm an hour ahead. Ten years on the East Coast, and I'm still living on Central time.

I, too, am thrilled with this outcome. I expected the worst. I'm so glad that her dad said she's "safe and tired." It is terrible that a lady she obviously liked to spend time with has been lost to some senseless crime. And her 14-year-old son has lost a mother. At least we know that he has other family support. After all, he was staying with family in the area. The girl, no doubt, has been traumatized. I wonder if she was on foot the whole time. Whoever had her didn't get very far.

I'd like to know why he was not charged with solicitation of a minor and why Minnesota's maximum sentence for soliciting sex with a minor is only three years.

PRESS RELEASE

On June 22nd, 2016 at approximately 03:30 hours the Bemidji Police and Fire Departments were dispatched to a report of house fire in the 3900 block on Irvine Avenue. Upon arrival, they discovered the house was fully engulfed in flames. After the Bemidji Fire Department gained control of the fire, an adult body was discovered deceased inside the residence. The body has been sent to the Ramsey County Medical Examiners Office for positive identification. That information will be released after proper family notification.

Additionally, during the investigation it was discovered that 5 year old, BRB had been visiting the residence the evening the fire occurred. After a complete processing of the fire scene by local law enforcement and the Minnesota BCA crime scene team, B had not been located.

Numerous law enforcement agencies including; the Minnesota BCA, the Beltrami County Sheriff’s Office, FBI, Bureau of Indian Affairs, the State Fire Marshal and the Paul Bunyan Drug Taskforce have joined the Bemidji Police Department in our efforts determine what happened in early morning hours of June 22nd at this residence and to find BB.

Yesterday a search of the area, including a large wooded and swampy area, was conducted by more than 50 law enforcement officers and volunteers from the Bemidji Fire Department, Beltrami County Posse, Civil Air Patrol, Citizen Patrol and Bemidji Police Reserves. This search was unsuccessful in locating BB. Officers also canvassed the neighborhood talking with residents who may have seen anything suspicious or may be able to provide information valuable to this case.

In the late evening of hours of June 22, Jacob William Kinn, age 32 was identified as a person of interest. Mr. Kinn voluntarily came to the Bemidji Police Department to speak with detectives. After this conversation, BCA agents traveled to an area near Big Fork, MN and located BB. Jacob William Kinn has been arrested for kidnapping and is currently in the Beltrami County Jail awaiting formal charges.

This continues to be a complex ongoing investigation. We are now looking at learning everything we can about the timeline, the motive, and whether anyone else was involved. It doesn’t appear to be the case, but we’re still looking into that possibility. I wish to sincerely thank the public and all of the assisting law enforcement and public safety agencies that continue to assist in the investigation.

Thank you, Mike Mastin, Chief of Police

In this mornings presser it said she hadn't been interviewed by LE yet, but I sure hope she was taken to the hospital for a forensic exam before any evidence is lost.

I think the internet is making us more aware of them. It is terrifying how many are living in society, all around us!
