As if the original story wasn’t bad enough, it appears there’s more to the tale of the young woman and her baby who were kidnapped and robbed Saturday. (See Bonnie and Clyde blog entry below)
Police said today that not only did the robbers, a man and woman, estimated to be in their 60s, abduct the young woman and her child, drive them to the bank and force the mother to withdraw cash for them, but it appears they also held the child hostage until the woman retrieved jewlery from her home, officials said.
After obtaining the woman’s money from the bank, the suspects drove the woman and child to their home, where the kept the child in the vehicle and ordered the woman to fetch valuables from her home, Pasadena police Lt. Chriss Russ said.
When she complied, both the woman and child were set free.
Police described the suspects’ vehicle as a red SUV or Jeep.
With all due respect – if I was walking with my children and an elderly couple tried to kidnap me without a gun or knife – I would beat them until they would not move. No one comes between a mother and her child.
There is something about this story that is just too strange. I’m not saying that it didn’t happen – but a month ago me and my daughter were acosted by a drunk homeless man who was violent and I started screaming at the top of my lungs and my daughter ran one direction and I ran the other – and the police came and the guy was arrested.
To be driving around in a van and then to have to go home and get jewlery and not call the police or a neighbor???
Maybe the culprits are the parents of the 3rd floor mystery groper.
