    Stephanie was abducted on September 6th between 4:30-5:00 pm, and I believe that the offender either tricked Stephanie to come closer to him and his car (I believe he must have access to a car because he abducted 3 girls and was able to travel to dump their bodies so far away from their homes). Or, if the offender ran up to Stephanie´s porch and grabbed her there. I believe Stephanie was on the porch before the offender tricked her to him or grabbed her because her sister found her half-finished homework and a half-finished soda out there, and her bag and make-up she never left the house without was still left in her room indicating that she didn’t leave her house on purpose.…

    In 1869, Alice Hamilton was born in Fort Wayne, Indiana where she grew up with her parents and three sisters. She was homeschooled until sixteen and completed her education at Miss Porter’s School. As a teen, Alice Hamilton wanted to become a doctor, but her father objected this decision.

    Being abducted is a traumatic experience that can haunt a victim for the rest of their life while nothing can guarantee a safe outcome.

The mere seizure of a victim for the extortion of a healthy price slides back deep into history.…
