“They become the heroes”
(NBC News) A young Fort Worth, Texas girl who was kidnapped while on a walk with her mother is safe thanks to the help of volunteer searchers.
Police say 8-year-old Salem Sabatka was kidnapped Sunday while walking near her home with her mother.
A neighbor’s door bell camera captured the moment Salem’s mother was thrown from the suspect’s car.
Word of the kidnapping, and a description of the suspect’s car, quickly spread through the neighborhood. Several volunteers, including Pastor Jeff King, set out to try and find Salem.
“I just felt like I should go, so I took off,” King said. “We were told by a detective at the scene the best places to check are hotels, apartments and parks.”
He and a friend later spotted the suspect’s car at a hotel and alerted police, leading to a rescue.
51-year old Michael Webb is now in custody and charged with kidnapping.
