So, Friday of last week I was doing errands and happen to notice the headline of our local paper "Mans attempts abduction of 13 year old girl" in the subdivision one over from us. I pick up the paper and read the article and the story was that she was walking in her neighborhood close the the middle school when a man drove by the curb and started talking to her, when she ignored him and continued walking, he threw the car into park, got out and chased her down. She narrowly avoided him by running into a local home, it was unclear if it was her house, or that of a neighbor. A description of the suspect and his car, and a police sketch were also included .... I called my teenager A (she's at her Dad's) and told her not to go anywhere alone ... not to the pool, not up the street to her best friend's house unless there was someone watching or with her. She is also 13.
This afternoon about an hour or so ago I noticed a helicopter flying over our neighborhood. At first I thought it might be "life flight" looking for a place to make a landing (we live near a large resevoir) - but he's been making repeated passes over the houses. Well, about 5 minutes ago a very nice, fully uniformed (and armed) police officer paid a visit to my door. Apparently this guy was spotted earlier, and the police attempted to pull him over and he sped off ... he dumped the car ONE BLOCK FROM MY HOUSEand ran off ... and they've been searching our neighborhood going door to door. The officer was very nice, and gave me a detailed description of the suspect. He says it might not be the same one ... my response "if he didn't stop, and he bailed out of his car ... he's guilty of something"
Normally I am not a paranoid person -- but this is just pissing me off and scaring me. What if this guy is in the woods behind our houses? What if he's armed? Makes me want to pace around the house with my baseball bat in my hands ..KWIM? I swear - if I see anyone matching that description around here, and he approaches any of us -- i'm gonna hand him his head and dick on a fucking platter.
