AJ Lagoe from KARE11 reported last night that the kidnapper has a mental illness and believes it's ok to do what he did.

Nothing could be more upsetting than what happened last Thursday to a beautiful, innocent 7 year-old child in our neighborhood.  

On Thursday early evening around 6:45 PM a Kidnapping/Abduction of a 7 year girl occurred in the on the 300 block of Dayton Avenue. The child was found and the suspect was arrested and charged with kidnapping and first degree sexual assault.
