Sisters 10, 12 Arrested for Abducting 1-Year-Old Neighbor for Ransom
Friday , July 06, 2007


Detectives arrested a 12-year-old girl and her 10-year-old sister on a kidnapping complaint on Thursday after they allegedly abducted their neighbor's 1-year-old son and held him for $200,000 ransom.

Brandon Wells was safe back at home Thursday night, hours after intruders broke into his family's residence and took him while his mother, Sheila Wells, slept, police said.

"He's had a long day," Sheila Wells said.

The pre-teen siblings, who because of their ages weren't identified, are accused of sneaking into Wells' home about 5:30 a.m., taking Brandon and other items and leaving a note.

"... if you want to see your son again then you won't call police and report him missing and you will leave $200,000 on the sofa tonight and we will return your son back safe," police said the note read. The note was signed, "the kidnappers."

Besides the note, the abductors allegedly took $20, diapers, a stroller and other baby supplies from the home.

The plan began to unravel when the girls' mother saw them with the child, whom she recognized as her neighbor's toddler, police said. They told their mother they had found the boy on the corner, according to police.

While the girls' mother tried to find Sheila Wells' telephone number, her 12-year-old daughter returned to Wells' residence and told the woman it was the younger sister who was responsible for the abduction, Capt. Dean Grassino said.

Wells immediately retrieved her child from the girls' home and police were called about 6:13 a.m.

"I've been doing this 18 1/2 years, and this is the first time I know of when a 10- and a 12-year-old kidnapped a 1-year-old," Grassino said. "It definitely ranks up there with the unusual crimes."

Wells said she knew the girls, and the younger one had spent some time at her home.

"She told me she wanted to be his new mommy," Wells told the Enid News and Eagle. "When I walked in the door, she was trying to make excuses to her mom."

Wells said she had banned the 10-year-old girl from her home a few weeks ago, but didn't say why.

The girls appeared in Garfield County District Court Thursday afternoon and were taken to Community Intervention Center for juveniles. They haven't been formally charged.

"I know they're so young, but they need to learn from their mistakes," Wells said.

Daniel Wells, the boy's father, said his son seems to have made it through the ordeal unscathed and is acting as if nothing happened.

OMG they kidnapped GI JOE

The image at left, purporting to show a kidnapped U.S. soldier, was posted on an Iraqi militant Web site Tuesday. At right is an image provided by toy manufacturer Dragon Models USA of an action figure named "Cody" in a box that company officials say matches the figure in the Web site photo.

Thrifty remember in the First Gulf War when the Germans were sending a unit to the Zone...General Haig was asked why they were violating their constitution to do this...he replied,"Well of course they are in NATO and they are close allies...but personally I think they just want to be on the winning side of a War before the Century ends."
