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

[jnTexas]

It's strange that he doesn't have a record of child sex abuse. I wonder if he is transporter for trafficking? Maybe he was taking pictures to sell online. Maybe he was headed to make an exchange.

 

[what about this?]

He seems to get caught plenty for drugs -- it can't be that he is a better child molester than he is a drug addict, KWIM? just unlucky at the drug thing . . .

Maybe he has ties to another state where he usually does his predator activities, and runs back to AZ, and then gets caught for drugs?

Thank God Phoenix PD did what they do and did it well.

Thank God Natalie beat the "two hour til death" rule in stranger abductions.

Though this case turned out positive. This is another one where the trucker tv/ amber alert would help. Knowing the type of vehicle truckers could be on the look out. They sit higher up than must vehicles and they can see right down into other vehicles. This pretty little red would of stuck out. I hope the FCC does the right thing an passes this.

Most everyone is from somewhere else out here in AZ. We joke that everyone is from Ohio or Michigan but it's people from many other states & countries.

I found one Larry L with a conviction for murdering a baby in Ark. I believe he is still in prison, sentenced for 40 years. The document had many appeals though. Doubt it was him. I'll keep looking.

 

[what about this?]

I found a Larry L. of Phoenix, AZ, who was a pallbearer at his grandmother's funeral in Wyo. in 2000?

(am I allowed to post that? I can post the link if I'm allowed)

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?

BBM

Hopefully they recovered the camera and whatever they find on it will tie him to the abduction scene.
Who knows what else they'll find on it, or his computer... sicko:sick:

 

[krt]

Quite frankly, I would be extremely shocked and overly joyed if he didn't molest her but I just don't see that being the case. He was very brazen and pulled one little girls pants down JUST prior to abducting the little angel. He was obviously manic at the time.......I just don't see his having had her for several hours and didn't do anything else to her. Sorry!

 

[Dr. Know?]

His name is in a Lusk, Wyo. obituary from 2000 as a grandchild of a person, listing him as living in Phoenix.

I can't post it, as it has innocent relatives names also.

This link shows he was just released after almost 2 years in prison for drugs, on 7/27/2009, and is/was on supervised parole.

Even though his past charges are all for drugs that we know of, this child porn/pedophile thing just didn't start all of a sudden after 45 years. I wonder if he has been abusing family members, and they have been too afraid to tell?

I did see the Wyoming obit, too, and looks like a large family.

One thing is for certain, this wasn't his first time.

 

[what about this?]

I just saw that this affiliate has updated their story and has decided to withhold the child's name because of the molestation charges -

Is is unimaginable that a grown man could/would molest a little 5 year old girl. IMO I truly do not think that pedophiles can be rehabilitated. I would bet that if they faced the death penalty for kidnapping, molestation of a child or castration if they had child pornography you would see a major drop in these occurrences. Too many perpetrators are let off too easy only to commit the crime again. In this instance, since this jerk was a habitual drug user taking photos, God knows what would have happened to this little girl. Remember Shaniya. I hope the prisoners deal with him in prison. Why is our justice system so lenient with perpetrators?

He has been identified as 45-year-old Larry Jon Ladwig.

I posted this in the other thread on crimes in the news. Should these threads be merged?

I am in Az and of late we are hearing more and more drug/molest - arrests/charges. It really is disturbing. ( ot but read another local case-http://www.abc15.com/content/news/southeastvalley/chandler/story/Chandler-dad-faces-murder-charge-after-baby/h7BN7peoZE2LGDznbwW-Ng.cspx ) Az has been known for drugs but the combination of drugs and molest seems to be getting more common. I don't know if it is happening more or the media is just reporting it more. What ever it is, it's just disturbing. Makes me want to move but the scary thing is bad things happen everywhere.

I commend the police officer on a job well done. I'm glad to hear this girl is alive and pray for her recovery. I'm betting this scum that took her is a meth head just like the Chandler dad in the story above. How sickening. I wouldn't trust my dog around a meth user. I wish they would just OD instead of hurting others.

"Heightened sexuality is described in methamphetamine user and is frequently a desired effect of the drug. Because of this, the users often participate in bizarre sexual activity beyond their norms, and may participate in sexual acts in view of their children. They also commonly participate in frequent, unprotected sexual activity which results in many pregnancies as well as sexually transmitted diseases including HIV and hepatitis. There is almost always some form of pornography found in the homes of users. Children living in these homes are at increased risk of sexual abuse from witnessing sexually explicit activity, exposure to pornography, or being targets of the activity themselves."

You are so right, in my opinion....it would be much better if they OD'ed instead of these type of crimes.

I don't know if this has already been posted but here is the scum's (L Ladwig) prison record. Just looking at his picture gives me the creeps.
