If I think too long about that song I can't get it out of my head. <br /><br />This case of the kidnapped girls is the stuff we mystery writers like to speculate about, that's for sure.

And since he used to be a school bus driver, maybe the other girls knew him and initially felt comfortable with him, too. Purely speculation, though.

...Good point about being alert to real life, D.G. <br /><br />Jeremy, it will be interesting to find out how this man managed to kidnap the girls in the first place.

Too many people pay too little attention to what goes on around them.<br /><br />Perhaps we need to be more alert to real life, and less to our devices.D.G.
