An 8 year old girl and her mother were out walking yesterday around 6:40 p.m. when a car stopped and pulled the girl into the car. The mother attempted to get in the car, but was tossed out (video below). They later found the girl and the kidnapper at a hotel around 2:40 a.m.

Well, if you walked outside and heard that, you'd probably be in a bit of shock. Doesn't happen
Very often.

So this guy, just snatched a kid while with their mother, in daylight with no clear motive? Happens to be a fairly nice neighborhood. Nice enough that they have security cameras and the police catch you 7-8 hours later?

..... WHAT? It's almost comical how stupid it sounds.

Random abduction is extremely rare, but it could happen anywhere. Ryan Place happens to be a nice neighborhood and a pretty close knit community. Thanks to a huge social media push by Fort Worth residents and FWPD, there were hundreds of people actively looking for her within a couple of hours. It was actually two civilians who were searching and spotted the car at the hotel and alerted police.

This is one of those cases where we'll find out in a couple days that there was actually more to the story.

They found them in a motel in the middle of the night. What do you think the motive was?

Yeah, I keep wondering the same thing.

Who knows if there is another angle on this, but I did find this:

Quote:

"As you can see, there is a smile on my face. I'm here to report that Salem has been found safe," he said.

Police have charged Michael Webb, 51, with aggravated kidnapping, a first-degree felony. Webb is not related to the girl, Salem Sabatka, police said.

The article has a mug shot of the perp.
Quote:

The churchgoers saw the posts, found the vehicle and called it in to police. Officers determined in what room the car's owner was staying, breached the door and found Salem, Calzada said.

"They're our heroes tonight, I'll tell you that," he said of the churchgoers.

Jeff King has come forward as one of the heroes and told "Good Morning America" that he knew Salem's dad, so when he learned the girl was missing, he touched base with friends who were already out looking for the youngster. King went to the crime scene where a Fort Worth detective told him he should be checking parks, apartments and hotels, he told the show.

"We got out here and tried to make a difference," he said. "I went ahead and started looking at parks and then just kind of (was) told this one motel and we went there. And on the way back from that motel, this one was right next to us on the access road, so we just pulled in and yeah, that's how it happened. It's kind of crazy."

Quote:

Salem appeared calm and unharmed, according to officers, Calzada said. She was taken to a local hospital and has been reunited with her family.

Fort Worth Police Chief was fried this morning.

Interesting turn of events even though they're saying it's unrelated.

This guy sounds like an absolute train wreck. How did he make it this far without getting fired?

Chief running around getting into altercations. He had to back out of the Baltimore job because he lied on his resume about his accomplishments in FW. What a mess.

I'm glad the little girl is ok and they found her, but I wonder what the motive was?

He took her to a motel. Unfortunately, I think we can guess what this sick ****'s motive was. While it is wonderful that she was saved, I have a sick feeling in my stomach regarding what she may have gone through. I pray that they found her before he actually did what I'm thinking he was intending.

I'm hoping it was a scavenger hunt gone wrong, but I kind of doubt it.

The perp is scum, no doubt. But he has no record as a pedo, in fact those dropped charges were stemming from an altercation with a prostitute who has ghosted. Really weird all around.

Another possibility: They say the guy wasn't related to the little girl...but that doesn't necessarily mean he didn't know her or have some relationship with her parents. My guess would be that he knew he might be a suspect and went to a hotel because he figured he couldn't go home.

I could be wrong and the guy could be a total pedo, but the way they described the girl as unhurt and in good spirits or whatever leads me to believe that she wasn't traumatically harmed and also that she may have known the person who took her, ie she wasn't scared out of her mind the whole time from being kidnapped by a total stranger.

Bond was set at $100k yesterday, he was taken into FBI custody today. Wondering if that indicates he was involved in trafficking of some kind? Or just standard procedure for kidnapping?

Regarding the chief, his termination was a LONG time coming. Timing is just a weird coincidence.

Yeah, I was thinking along those same lines, and I think thats what we are gonna find out after the media sells their ads.

The fact that they questioned him and searched his hotel room 2 hours before she was found is weird to me too.

A Star Telegram article says,
Quote:

The Forest Hill Police Department said on Monday that officers received a tip about two hours before Salem was found to check the hotel. They made contact with Webb and walked through his hotel room, but didn't find the girl, they said.
Maybe I'm just old and jaded these days, but what I hear in that is that when Police went looking for a kidnapped little girl they tracked down this off-kilter psycho sack of crap that they've probably been keeping an eye on ever since he moved to town and poked around to see if he was involved. Imagine that...he was.
