Have there been any updates on this? It's been out of the news for a while, are they still even looking? I know if it were my son I would never give up. Chemical castration would be too good for this guy. I think the real thing would be called for. I hate to say it, and I don't want everyone to jump on me for this, but it is likely that this little girl didn't make it. Logically, if you had kidnapped someone just with the intention of selling her into the slave trade (which is what the assumption has been for this) and her face was blasted all over international press, you couldn't off-load her because she is too recognizable. Personally, I don't think the press should be allowed by law to run anything on a kidnapping unless either the person is already caught or it is a unanimous decision by all parties involved. I hope they find her alright.
To give a ray of hope, and I may not have all the details on this 100%, so forgive me, there was a child kidnapped from STL that was held for about 10 years and finally made it home. It's rare, but it can happen.
