Police say they've found the silver SUV of a Pennsylvania woman and her young daughter who were allegedly kidnapped in broad daylight and called 911 from the trunk of a car.
There was still no sign of Bonnie Sweeten, 38, of Feasterville, Pa., or 9-year-old Julia Rakoczy Wednesday morning after the discovery of their vehicle in the Center City section of Philadelphia. A massive manhunt was under way.
"We are treating this as an abduction," FBI spokesman J.J. Klaver told FOX News. "We're aggressively pursuing leads." (The spokesman also has been quoted as saying that there were “inconsistencies” in the woman's story.)
Mother and daughter were allegedly abducted in broad daylight Tuesday by men who rear-ended their car near Philadelphia.
Police and the FBI say Sweeten made a cell phone call Tuesday from a car trunk. She told a 911 dispatcher that she and Julia were kidnapped after the car struck her SUV.
It is not clear whether Sweeten knew the two men she said abducted her and her daughter around 2 p.m.
Authorities found Sweeten's SUV early Wednesday in downtown Philadelphia, according to Klaver.
Sweeten's ex-husband, Tony Rakoczy, said on NBC's "Today" show that he doesn't understand why the abductors would keep them.
"We don't have any money," he said.
(This sounds a lot like someone trying to get attention or someone trying to cover up a crime. Remember that Susan Smith said someone carjacked the car with her two boys in it before she confessed to drowning them while they were strapped into their baby seats.)
