It's not storying for me either.

Where's the other kid?
Why are LE not investigating any other victims?
How does a 10 year old child bust down a locked door and get away from 2 men with guns?
How did the kidnappers know where to leave the boy's clothes & backpack?
Why would they even bother?
Why does the video only show one kid running from that house?

I didn't realize there was video of the kid running from the house
wouldn't there also be video of the suspects taking him into the house?
and was the door broken when police looked?
so many questions ...

The video thats been posted looks like a small boy running across the street and a younger woman meeting him, and then both of them heading to the right, out of view, down the sidewalk.

There’s an interview with the 2 brothers and mother. The boy’s 6 year old brother was with him. He ran home to tell his mother.

Fox 8 spoke with the boys and their mother Friday on the condition of anonymity to protect the boy’s identity as an alleged victim of violent crime.

“My 10-year-old said they were holding hands, but you know when you’re running, eventually, your hands let go,” the boy’s mom said.

The mother said her other son got away after the men pushed him down.

“My six-year-old runs inside screaming and hollering hysterically saying they took my brother,” she said. “‘They took my brother.’”

I listened to the interview. I was hoping to hear from the dad as well, who was said to have been outside looking for the boy when he ran home and saw his dad outside.

In the video clip (taken from the house at 2317 Kraft Place at 5:24pm- based on the video in the article) it's really hard to tell because it's so fast, but you can see 2 people running from behind a van, and down the side walk. The taller person looks to be running slightly ahead of the smaller person. The taller person appears to be female but it's impossible to tell for sure.
