It reminds me of the disabled young lady from Alaska who was killed by four of her "friends", commissioned by an evil man online.

What a ridiculous story. This should be on a dumb criminals site. Glad the child is ok.

I had to read this article a couple times to make any sense out of it. Especially this:

“After Courtney Odum admitted to Walker’s location, the FBI arrived at the Kentucky home and confirmed the girl was there. While waiting for enough FBI agents to arrive to execute the girl’s rescue, the affidavit states Walker and the girl ran away. But the girl was rescued and Walker was taken into custody.“

It doesn’t say they attempted to run away? Like they ran away under the watch of FBI?
