Text message to mom leads to bunker, abducted teen
http://edition.cnn.com/2006/US/09/16/text.message.rescue.ap/index.html

LUGOFF, South Carolina (AP) -- A text message sent by a kidnapped 14-year-old to her mother led to her rescue Saturday, when police found her in a hand-dug, booby-trapped bunker.

Elizabeth Shoaf's message also led investigators to name a suspect in her kidnapping more than a week ago; police were searching a wooded area where the girl was found for 36-year-old Vinson Filyaw, said Kershaw County Sheriff Mike McCaskill.

Shoaf was found by deputies about a mile from her home in a 15-foot deep hole in the side of a hill that was covered with plywood. The bunker had a hand-dug privy with toilet paper, a camp stove and shelves made with cut branches and canvas.

1. I suddenly have an idea on where we can put Nader in 08
I keed, I keed (sort of) ;-)

In all seriousness, I am so happy that this turned out well. Weird how this sort of thing happens in groups. I wonder if this man was inspired by the girl in Europe who recently freed herself after 8 years.

Sick people.
