Ownby, Hornbeck Found Alive Last Edited: Friday, 12 Jan 2007, 4:34 PM CST Created: Friday, 12 Jan 2007, 4:34 PM CST
William Ben Ownby was found Friday afternoon in Kirkwood. Ben, 13, went missing on Monday after getting off his school bus near his Beaufort, Missouri home. Sources tell FOX 2 News that the FBI stormed a house in Kirkwood and found Ben along with Shawn Hornbeck who had been missing since 2002. Hornbeck was last seen riding his bike on Oct. 6 in Richwoods, MO.
Just saw this. Incredible good news!
Ping to "age-enhanced" picture of Vlad in post#42.
:)
Somebody at Fox News has their wires crossed because these pictures don't match.
They aren't the same guy, from what I can tell. Both born same mo/yr, but different days; different SSNs. I think the media screwed up on this one.
But who cares?
It is absolutely wonderful that these 2 boys were found alive.
Praise God for answered prayers!!
Blessings,

If you want on/off my prayer ping list, please let me know. All requests happily honored.
He'd better get started on his mustache now!
On the other hand, looking at the gentleman's expression, the Usurper probably already has more teeth than his namesake :-).
And in Vermont, a judge just gave a sex offender of a 4 year old boy probation. This same judge has done this sort of crap before. O'Reilly nearly blew a gasket.
So would four minutes.
Hopefully the perp isn't isolated from the general pop in prison.
I suspect many are kidnapped and held captive for quite some time, but few of those make it out alive. This 15-year old probably didn't have much time left.
I was so surprised to hear that not only had they found the boy they were looking for, but another missing much longer. Thank you, God!
I live in Kirkwood and have driven past the apartments hundreds of times, including TWICE Thursday evening; bot gas at the QuikTrip where Shawn hung out; eaten Imo's pizza, etc. I am pretty creeped out to think I have been so close so many times.
Why didn't Shawn try to escape if he was just hangin' out?
Stockholm syndrome, where the captive depends on his captor for all the necessities of life and becomes strangely bonded.
I agree, the prayers need to continue, especially for Shawn. He's got a long road ahead of him.
This is the guy they arrested.
Who is this guy?
