but LE stats re: a child that age kidnapped, usually for sexual purposes, is usually killed within first few hours.
I agree I hate stats, but unfortunately they are usually right. Thanks for the info LC. Your knowledge is highly regarded, at least by me. (where is that kiss ass smilie)
In this case though, doesn't it sound like the suspect wanted a play-mate he could keep for a while? I don't believe that he is borderline retarded, but more likely a "personality disorder". It seems like his intelligence is too high for a "retarded" classification. He has managed to live off of next to nothing in terms of a real income, with stealing what he wants, when he wants it.
Also I read a few different stories from the landlord. Were they both living in the trailer? Or, was the trailer on a property that also had a "house" that the landlord lived in and the suspect had a room?? Using "house
as a broad description of the dwelling that the men occupied.
