Thanks, Noah, for the additional insight you just provided. Please keep us informed of any other details in this case as they become available. The AP picked Brooklyn's story up on their national news, which was then copied on Yahoo News. And, as might well be expected, some of the comments range from the predictable to the patently absurd. So it would be good to know what the facts at first hand in this case will ultimately prove to be. We'll be depending on the ABC4 News crew to provide them, so thanks for continuing to do just that.

"Officials also believe that whoever abducted Brooklyn most likely saw local media reports on her disappearance, and felt pressured to release her." That statement speaks volumes. If that's what officials actually believe, then why didn't they utilize the Amber Alert system TIMELY on her behalf? -- instead of simply punching out at 5:00 p.m. and calling it a day on the THIRD day after she went missing! And if that is in fact the case, then it appears local media is to be thanked for her safe return instead of what seems to be some incredibly inept action on the part of officials. And some of that thanks for her return belongs to ABC4 News. I can also appreciate the efforts of the thousand or so people who volunteered to search for Brooklyn, but wouldn't it have been more effective to alert a couple of million pairs of eyes throughout the state instead of vainly searching the same 17 square miles twice? Heaven forbid that officials might have utilized the Amber Alert system in a possible false alarm before the subject of the search managed to place her own rescue call. But who could have known that would happen beforehand? Yet, sad experience poignantly teaches that the alternative could have easily proven far worse in Brooklyn's case. I hope we all learned something from it in retrospect and as further details might hereafter be made known. At this point it's simply good to know she's okay and now safe at home again. It's also good to know that people really do care about each other, as the volunteers who diligently searched for her amply proves. And I suppose I shouldn't be so critical of officials, either, whom I'm sure were doing what they deemed best at the time. But I wouldn't hesitate to utilize the Amber Alert system in times of any uncertainty, particularly where a child's life could be in jeopardy. If that were deemed to be erring on the side of caution, then so be it. To err is only human. But in this case wouldn't it seem to be justified?

SLCfirefighter- This is Noah Bond. I was at the 4:00 a.m. news conference Friday morning. Sheriff Jim Winder said there is a person who drove this little girl to an undisclosed location. Yes, there is in fact a kidnapper at large. If you have any other questions you can call me at 801-831-0900.

Who wrote the headline? It hasn't even been established that there was a kidnapping and ypu have the kidnapper at large. You hacks at abc suck! No wonder you are last in the ratings.
