#469: BONUS: 9 year old girl’s abduction...

Real Crime Profile / Wondery
About this episode

A quick bonus episode to discuss the recent abduction in upstate New York of a 9 year old girl who thankfully was found 48 hours after she went missing. Jim and Laura weigh in on the behavior of the suspect in custody and if they think there was stalking involved in this case. While we normally do not mention the name of the offender if we can help it, in this case it is important to identify him — Craig Nelson Ross, Jr., 47 of Ballston Spa, New York — in the event there are more victims or near miss offenses out there unreported. If you think you have information about this case, please contact the New York State Police or the Saratoga County Police. We are not naming the 9 year old victim (though we know her name has been all over the news) because her parents have expressed the desire to have her life go back to being as normal as possible after this terrifying event. Join us as we discuss this case that is every parents’ nightmare. This is a fast moving story and more background information on the suspect is coming forth even as we post this episode.
