KIDNAPPED VIRGINIA INFANT FOUND SAFE, SEX OFFENDER FATHER ARRESTED
Authorities say a tip led them to a trailer in North Carolina where they found a kidnapped 7-month-old girl and her father, who’d taken her at knifepoint. Randolph County Sheriff Robert Graves told reporters at a news conference yesterday an officer entered the mobile home and “immediately grabbed her up and shielded her with great care.” The sheriff says Emma Grace Kennedy “had a great smile on her face and appeared to be in good shape and certainly a great smile on our deputy’s face as well.” Police in Danville, Virginia, say Carl Ray Kennedy abducted his daughter at knifepoint from the girl’s mother at a gas station there Sunday night. Virginia State Police had issued an Amber Alert, saying the infant faced “extreme danger.” Graves says Kennedy painted his gold Suzuki black to try to evade police.
