FBI FTF SSA Jess LaCroix: Barnes, what have we got? I just read the Amber Alert.
Special Agent Sheryll Barnes: Two female victims, Caroline Vaughter and her 89-year-old grandmother, Amanda. Stabbed to death in their home in rural Maine. EMS responded to a Life Alert call, notified local PD. Caroline has an eight-year-old son, Caleb. He's missing. Child Abduction Rapid Deployment called the Director and asked for all hands.
FBI FTF SSA Jess LaCroix: Stranger kidnappings are rare. What about the father? Is he in the picture?
Special Agent Sheryll Barnes: Died two years ago.
Special Agent Kenny Crosby: Sherrifs found a black Jeep abandoned in a parking lot ten miles from the house. Registered to a Dean Judd in Portland. He wasn't home, not answering his cell.
FBI FTF SSA Jess LaCroix: Criminal record?
Special Agent Kenny Crosby: No. That's why they think it's stolen. Prints are all over it and at the Vaughters' house belonging to this guy.
Special Agent Sheryll Barnes: Samuel Smith. BOLO's already out on him and his 2008 Pontiac. In the system for a juvie arrest for involuntary manslaughter. Denny Straight, eight years old, was found drowned in a lake near Augusta. Samuel was arrested, never charged.
FBI FTF SSA Jess LaCroix: Any connections between Samuel and the victims or the boy?
Special Agent Sheryll Barnes: Not that I can find. No ransom note, either. This isn't about money.
FBI FTF SSA Jess LaCroix: How old was Samuel when he was arrested?
Special Agent Kenny Crosby: Uh, looks like 14.
FBI FTF SSA Jess LaCroix: 14. Teenage years are when some pedophiles realize they're attracted to children.
Special Agent Sheryll Barnes: Denny was eight. Same age as Caleb.
Special Agent Kenny Crosby: So are we thinking we're dealing with a sexual predator?
FBI FTF SSA Jess LaCroix: Every parent's worst nightmare.
