Parents are working with LE.

 

[belimom]

won't comment on any help given to victim because of investigation, will not discuss the 5 year old by name or condition anymore. No child should have to endure what she went through

bbm

:cry:

This worries me... So glad she is safe now.

(Thank you so much for transcribing - I'm at home with my son so I can't watch it live - it would scare him)

 

[The Cheese]

Child blindfolded until in the playground. Will not comment on how the child got to the playground in order to protect the investigation.

Parents very protective of child, parents cooperating.

I think Rashida is going down.. especially if she has a white boyfriend that stands out like a sore thumb. moo

 

[belimom]

Going back to the abductor and the discussion yesterday that she looked pregnant but the bump was too low? After seeing her mother in a video (with bonafide grief), I believe that the abductor tried to look more like the mom by padding herself up more to match the mom's stature. JMO

 

[The Cheese]

Can't comment on whether there are other victims involved. Won't say if other children in house.

Sorry just joined the presser already in progress -

Male in the residence - joined female abductor in restraining the child over the night.

4 square block grid - officers out in grid going door to door, handing copies of bulletin to each residence/business. Pay attention in this area. Target area may expand. Based on what Nailla said - she only walked a couple blocks. Spruce St south to Christian St. (Missed the other 2 streets.) I think he is saying 4 blocks in each direction from the school.

$5k reward for arrest
Additional $5k for arrest and conviction of these offenders

Restrained = blindfolded, told to remove clothing, provided black t-shirt. Made to hide under bed. She was fed at one point while blindfolded. 69th and Marshall blindfold was removed. Doesn't want to comment on if someone helped her get there. Ongoing investigation.

Normally don't identify juvenile victims. Will not discuss condition/injuries.

She suffered conditions that no child should endure. DAMMIT THIS PISSES ME OFF! THESE A-HOLES NEED TO BE CAUGHT!!!!

How targeted this girl - this was not a random act. This girl was asked for by name. She was targeted in some way. Unsure of motivation. Won't comment if it is someone who knows the family.

The family has been extremely cooperative given the situation. Have been defensive of their 5 yr old.

The parents said their child was not called out by name. He (spokesperson) says yes - she was called out of class by name.

Q - Are more children involved? He answers by saying there might be more adults involved.

Any body know how to look up if Edward Johnson is still locked up? In 2002 he was sentenced to 10 to 37 years for Erica Pratt kidnapping in Philly.
Circumstances are rather similar.

Here's a map I did with the search grid....Please correct me if anything on here is wrong.
https://maps.google.com/maps/ms?msid=204150161293193815171.0004d36c27fb975e3cf0a&msa=0&ll=39.953208,-75.24416&spn=0.023028,0.052314

Also where is exactly is the park they found her at? I've heard 69th & Marshall....and NMM said something about Walnut Street.....but I don't really see any parks on the map...

And did the perps drive her there or walk her? I know they said no car was used when she left the school, but what about when she was "dropped off"?

They aren't really saying. I can't find the park either.

I think I found it....added it to the map. If you zoom in on satellite you will see a baseball field and some slides.... https://maps.google.com/maps/ms?msid=204150161293193815171.0004d36c27fb975e3cf0a&msa=0&ll=39.955182,-75.246778&spn=0.023028,0.052314
