ORIGINAL REPORT:
NEW PORT RICHEY – (PASCO) – A 9-year-old Deer Park Elementary student says she escaped an attempted kidnapping while walking home yesterday afternoon.
According to officials, around 3:15 p.m. the victim says she was chased by a man from the roadway and between houses by an adult white male. While trying to find help, the victim lost the suspect and was able to find her way home. That’s when the victim says the same suspect approached her again at her residence and tried to coax her into getting into his car. The victim managed to lock herself in the residence until the suspect fled the area.
Officials provided a composite sketch of the suspect and a stock photo of what the car looks like.
Both New Port Richey Police and the Pasco County Sheriff’s Office are involved in the investigation.
A press conference is scheduled for later this morning.

IS HE WANTED ” DEAD OR ALIVE ” ????????????
now the creep knows where she lives! ugh!!
The story says that that is his address. Not hers.
It also states that he went to her residence again. How would he know where she lived if she lost him? There is indeed something fishy about the story.
he is just a person of interest and not the perp at this time Enzo
” We just wanna talk to ya…….” Yeah right.
According to my sources and the fact that PCSO pulled their posts about Drew… Drew has spoken with PCSO and investigation is on going but he may no longer be a person of interest.
Maybe they pulled their story because the little girl lied about what happened. I’m not saying that is what happened but the fact that they pulled the story leaves questions.
