AZ - Natalie Flores, 5, Phoenix, 25 Dec 2009

Just throwing out possibilities.....:angel:

I know. I was thinking they probably have his DNA and now want to see if he's guilty of any other missing kids. He might be a serial killer. 45 is pretty old for it to be his first time doing this kind of thing.

I'm just so happy this little girl was found safe. The quick thinking of her sister, the neighbor. This little girl is so lucky, this was truely a Christmas miracle that she was recovered safely! Thank God!

 

[Carolina Girl]

I read on one of the news sites that they are waiting to be sure he was the original perp, not just the one they found her with. Can't make mistakes....

I read that too but it shouldn't be hard to figure that out. There were witnesses (Natalie and her sisters). Makes no difference because he didn't bring her to safety. He knew she was missing. I can't see how it's not the guy.

 

[Carolina Girl]

That is true, but then the booking report won't happen until today, so won't be online until tomorrow?

I haven't even read this yet, but thought I would post it for all of you to read too.

45-year-old Larry Jon Ladwig

45-year-old Larry Jon Ladwig

Is this the perp? Link?

 

[Dr. Know?]

Is this the perp? Link?

Yes, they have charged him.

On Saturday morning, Hill identified the suspect as 45-year-old Larry Jon Ladwig.

He has been booked into jail for kidnapping, sexual molestation of a child, aggravated assault on a police officer and felony flight.

I was hoping it wouldn't be sexual molestation. Damn.

 

[Carolina Girl]

Got one, sorry.

He looks like a real sweetheart.

I was also, but he had her too long.

He's a piece of crap. Thank God the officer saw him or she would have been dead by now.

 

[LadyL]

Congrats to her sister who ran for help and also whoever (the other kids, neighbours, security cameras?) got such a good description of the truck to LE and especially the 'alert' officer who went with his gut, even though the license plate was different than reported.

Nice to log on to good news today!

 

[Dr. Know?]

Here's some of his previous records.

Lots of drugs, but 45 is rather old for this to be his first violation with a child. Maybe he just has not been caught before now.

 

[SheWhoMustNotBeNamed]

Now THIS is putting the AMBER Alert to good use! So thankful for the positive outcome of finding little Natalie alive! Praying that she and her family can get through the difficulties that will follow.

Also, thank you to those posters who followed this so intently! I wasn't online as it happened, but reading back through it, I felt like I was. Great job!

 

[BeanE]

Could the sexual molestation charge be for the incident with pulling down Natalie's sister's pants? I have no idea what the charge would be for that.

I thought about that too. It could be.

Prayers to those little girls, this will be something hard to forget for them but hope they can one day.

 

[what about this?]

Lots of drugs, but 45 is rather old for this to be his first violation with a child. Maybe he just has not been caught before now.

Right - that is odd - he was all prepared with a camera --

Maybe he just took pictures . . .

He had her and kept her alive for 6 hours - if they're going to do the deed, don't they usually just do it and then get rid of the child as quickly as possible?

 

[tehcloser]

I was shocked that they caught him in the same area she disappeared from..........I figured he would be far away from there by that time.
