Dad Pulls off Daring Rescue of Kidnapped Daughter

Facebook/Montgomery County Sheriff's Office A Texas dad took matters into his own hands after his daughter was kidnapped at knifepoint on Christmas Day. In a statement made on Facebook, the Montgomery County Sheriff’s Office revealed that they received a call to a home in Porter, Houston, reporting the kidnapping of a 15-year-old girl, who was already safely back with her family. The police learned that the girl’s parents located her phone when she didn’t return from a dog walk at the expected time. Her father then tracked her to a pickup truck, which held her and her dog alongside a “partially nude 23-year-old male,” and helped her to escape. The statement detailed that the girl had been threatened at knifepoint and abducted off the street, with the suspect identified as Giovanni Rosales Espinoza. The suspect is currently in custody with no bond, charged with aggravated kidnapping and indecency with a child. The girl’s family told a local news station that they did not know Espinoza. Sheriff Wesley Doolittle stated, “Christmas is a day meant for joy, but this man chose to shatter that joy by targeting a child. I am incredibly proud of our deputies and detectives who worked tirelessly to ensure this dangerous predator was swiftly apprehended and is now off our streets.” Read it at CBS News Read more at The Daily Beast.
