Two missing boys, one since 2002, found in Missouri
 

Very interesting. Seem they found that missing boy - and another missing boy at the same time.

From Yahoo News......

ST. LOUIS (Reuters) - A boy missing since 2002 was discovered living in a Missouri apartment on Friday along with a 13-year-old whose disappearance this week prompted an intense search, and authorities charged a man with kidnapping.

A tip about a white pickup truck seen in the vicinity of Monday's suspected kidnapping of Ben Ownby led authorities to the suburban St. Louis apartment of Michael Devlin, 41, where both boys were discovered apparently unharmed.

"Both appear to be in good health," said a relieved Gary Toelke, the Franklin County Sheriff.

Shawn Hornbeck, 15, was last seen on October 6, 2002, riding his bicycle in the St. Louis suburb of Richwoods. Toelke said his discovery was a shock to investigators who stormed Devlin's Kirkwood, Missouri, apartment.

A neighbor of Devlin's told the St. Louis Post-Dispatch she had seen Hornbeck for years playing with friends in the neighborhood, and assumed he was Devlin's son.

Devlin was charged with a single count of kidnapping and ordered held on $1 million bond, with more charges likely, authorities said.

A search was launched when Ownby, a straight-A student and Boy Scout, disappeared after getting off a school bus near his Beaufort, Missouri, home.

Just seen that on the news..4 years..damn lucky kids

Everytime I hear of something like this I always have the hardest time understanding how a kid could go about his everyday life and not tell somebody what happened.

Im getting my kids those disney tracking phones I swear. :Oh crap

At least they were found alive.

I'd imagine fear and eventually Stockholm Syndrome would play a part. It's tough to think like a 10 year old and decide what to do when you are probably told horrible things that will happen if you escape. That girl in Austria who was kidnapped for like 8 years didn't even care to see her parents after she escaped.

I just saw this on tv in the restaurant that I was eating in tonight.

I couldn't believe that they found a kid that's been missing for almost 5 years just as if nothing had happened to him. I can only imagine the mental abuse that kid has suffered. Crazy shit.

He will probably be found with his intestines hanging out one day..Scum like that will be taken care of in jail

Unfortunately, child molesters don't spend much time in the general population.

True but sometimes gaurds are well known to slip up and leave doors open etc

We should be so lucky in this case.

It is nice to read a story where the kids are found alive. It is usually not that way. I bet both of their families are so happy to know their sons are alive and that they will see them soon. I hope the scuz bag that took them gets his. They can get him in prison. It happens to child molesters all the time.

Such amazing story of lost and found:)

WOw. I just don't understand how he could live with him so long and just well...live with him. If he was able to play outside, you would think that he would be able to tell SOMETHING to someone!

It may be very dark of me to say this yet fuck it. Is it always best for the child to be found alive after such time with a monster? Sure I am positive it is better for the parents but I am talking about the child itself.

turns out the news story was wrong . the dude isnt a registered sex offender, they got him confused with someone else.


Although he prob was doing something just as evil..

why cant these people just adopt...?

good he is save now... Im not sure that it was possible for him to tell someone or do anything regarding this.:Oh crap

That is bad ....................:(

CRaziness right there....\


poor kids///I wonder if he remembers his grandpa's name....

4 years?Hmm he will be american NAtasha Kampus

Best news story in a while.:thumbsup

Thank god the adoption laws are so strict so these freaks can't abuse these kids

These pieces of human filth completely turn my stomach. Any person responsible of doing such things to a child should be punished to the most severe and spartan means possible. I wouldn't be beyond suggesting child molester's dick's be cut off with rusty knives and salt rubbed in the wounds. That's before they're put to death in the cruelest way possible.

You see that fat Fuck?I'd like to Fuck him up MidEvil Style.

Unbelievable. This has been an ongoing search in our area since the last boy was snatched. They accidently found the white pickup at a complex when the police were serving a warrant to someone else in the complex that the offender lived. They noticed the truck and investigated and were surprised to find both boys. Luck with with them. BTW the offender works at the local pizza delivery place. WTF!

WOW...i can imagine how happy were the parents of these children

yes i agree, but no one knows what this guy was doing to him yet, on the news he looked bewildered by it all and was too traumatised to even speak:(
