Arrest Warrant Issued for Suspect in Florida Teen's Kidnapping

February 25, 2007

PARRISH, Fla. —

Florida police on Sunday issued a warrant for a man suspected of kidnapping a 13-year-old boy at gunpoint in an apparent ransom attempt, police said.

The man, whom authorities identified as Vicente Ignacio Beltran-Moreno, is believed to be Mexican. He is wanted in connection with the Friday morning kidnapping of Clay Moore from a school bus stop in Parrish, Fla. Moore was able to escape several hours later.

"This was an absolute kidnapping for ransom," Manatee County Sheriff Charlie Wells said at a press conference Sunday morning.

"We have been able to positively conclude that this was an out-and-out kidnapping and that the person wanted money in exchange for Clay Moore."

Authorities said Marina is a former migrant worker at the farm where Moore was ultimately found. Police believe Marina, most recently employed with an aluminum contractor, has fled Florida.

"I think we do have a sporting chance to bring him back to Manatee County and have him stand trial for this crime," Wells said.

A judge signed an arrest warrant Sunday for the man they believe kidnapped the teen, Manatee County sheriff's spokesman Dave Bristow said. The sheriff did not release a photo of the suspect but said it was a good likeness to a police sketch released earlier.

Authorities executed a search warrant on one location early Sunday morning and recovered a rough draft of a ransom note, Wells said.

"The ransom note is at least a ransom note that was prepared to be given to someone or it was a practice ransom note, but we have fitted it to this case and it absolutely pertains to the motive for the abduction of Clay Moore," Wells said.

Sloppy reporting - nothing new

Last week FoxNews was reporting on the big storm hitting the CA coast and then heading eastward. They showed a pic of a snow plow in a blizzard (probably somewhere in the Sierras) and the pic was labelled "San Francisco"! Oh yeah, like SF was really getting 6-12" of snow.

13 year old escapes from a foreign adult kidnapper.

70 year old takes down an armed costa rican mugger.

Don't mess with Americans.

It seems to me that this guy had the idea to introduce a popular mexican side of the border pastime to the U.S. Kidnapping people for money. I expect to see more of this in the future. I wonder what his status is? Legal or illegal?

Vincente Ignacio Beltran-Moreno, 22

According to Fox News, law enforcement think he is ILLEGAL and has been using multiple alias'. They also think he has been deported before!

Big deal they issue a warrant. Bush will simply pardon the guy, especially if he is illegal.
