Suspect is a Hispanic male in his thirties, who had been driving a car that was recently hijacked in Nevada.

We are seeing the paedophiliazation of American culture thanks to the militant homosexuals and paedophiles. Pretty soon we will see talking heads on CNN saying how paedophilia is perfectly normal and should be accepted and encouraged by the culture. In fact, I think that's already the position of the ACLU

Note to parents of teenagers. Explain to them what the Cops mean by "crime scene #2".

Thursday, August 01, 2002


LANCASTER, Calif. — Two teenage girls were kidnapped at gunpoint early Thursday and taken away in a vehicle that belonged to one of the victims' friends, authorities said.


Tamera Brooks, 16, and Jaqueline Marris, 17, were sitting in separate cars with two male friends when they were approached by a man shortly after 1 a.m. The man forced Tamera out of her vehicle at gunpoint, then approached Jaqueline, who was in a 1980 Ford Bronco, authorities said.

The man, described in his mid-30s to early 40s, tied up one of the friends and sped away in the white Ford Bronco with a gray camper shell with both girls inside, said Sgt. Joe Efflandt of the Los Angeles County Sheriff's Department.

The girls apparently did not know each other nor their abductor, Efflandt said.

"He told me he was going to kill me but he didn't want to," an 18-year-old man told KNBC-TV. The teen, who had duct tape on his arms and legs, said he was blindfolded and tied to a post while the kidnapper took away his female friend. "He just kept telling her to stay down, keep her head down, don't look at him."

Efflandt said the man poured gasoline over one of the vehicles, apparently trying to torch it, but was unsuccessful.

Sheriff's investigators also said the man left behind a vehicle that was reported stolen in a carjacking in Nevada. No other details were immediately available.

The remote area where the kidnapping occurred is a place frequented by young people, Capt. Tom Pigott said.

A command post has been set up and sheriff's deputies notified the FBI and the Border Patrol.

"It's a life and death situation," Pigott said. "We're just trying to locate these young girls."

Sheriff's deputies used the "Amber Alert" system, which uses radio and television bulletins to announce that a child may have been abducted. The plan is named for Amber Hagerman, a 9-year-old who in 1996 was kidnapped and later found dead in Arlington, Texas.

Lancaster is 70 miles northeast of Los Angeles.

I wouldn't but the car has been reported stolen. When they make it up, they usually don't get the plate.

I heard about this while listening to the radio this morning. This is the very first "Amber Alert" in California, where the emergency broadcast system is used to alert the public about kidnappings.

As a result of this alert, I drove my child to school this morning.

Just read another thread on this story that was pulled. The teens were taken from a "make-out" point and their two boyfriends were tied-up. Each were in separate cars, and the kidnapper took one car...? Someone please tell me how a guy holding a gun manages to take one girl and (still holding the gun) tie up her boyfriend, then move to the next car and take the next girl and (still holding the gun) tie-up her boyfriend, too, then drive away??? Am I missing something here?

Were my parents just really strict? Or do most parents allow their teenagers to be out at that hour?
