    I will say if this happened to anyone else than Mrs Ripkin and I didn't see her around as often as I do in numerous senarios throughout the years, I might be a bit suspious myself.
    I do not think there is anything to laugh about in a situation like this. I specifically said "physically" because being carjacked, kidnapped, and being held against one's will can easily leave someone extremely traumatized and leave lasting harmful nonphysical scars.

    I'm laughing at your attempt of word play and passing it off as a misspell, not the Vi situation.

    Now that a photo was released of the suspect, are you still questioning Mrs Ripkens account of what happened to her?

    Believe whatever you like. It's not like your opinion means anything to me.

    Strange that this occurred the same week Michael Jackson's mother "disappeared."

    I'm shocked that a certain poster on here didn't jump all over this incident. After all, it happened in Harford County and the suspect is white...which surprisingly the media had no problem pointing out as the first and foremost fact in their description.

    It was not a misspelling, it was a typo. I am sure that it wasn't intentional.

    Although, I will admit that the new word is kind of apropos in this particularl kidnapping.

    That is because the race of a criminal suspect is only important when he or she is white. Didnt you know that by now?

    It's so obvious it's sickening. Democrat-owned WJZ (sister station to the Sun) plastered the suspect's description all over the TV yesterday, first item being his ethnicity. Would never ever happen if the perp was black, guaranteed.

    Here's another prime example from WJZ's report on the flash mob crime sprees:

    "BALTIMORE (WJZ)– We get the first look at the video of the flash mob robbery at a 7-Eleven in downtown Baltimore with scores of young people rushing the store.

    May 23: The 7-Eleven on Light Street. Surveillance cameras record as groups of teens walk to the back of the store for a free Slurpee giveaway. But soon, the cameras catch them as dozens begin to steal and pocket items off the shelves.

    When store employees in the red shirts realize what’s happening, they block the doors to stop the young thieves from leaving.

    But the kids physically struggle to get out and even appear to hit the store manager who then swings back. After the brief altercation, many kids dash out the door.
    Not one mention of race even when the video clearly shows "the teens" were black.

    You'd be surprised how many ATMs either don't have cameras or have cameras that don't work properly.

    He's an elusive creature. I think they're looking for him in the wrong areas. Especially since he's only an arms length away. Oh, the insanity!

    Question

    The suspect in the photos looks like he has heavy make-up on. Maybe that's why they can't find him.

    This story is weird. If the last name was not Ripken, I would have greater doubts. I just have great doubts now.

    New Photos Released in Kidnapping


    Police released photos of the van in the Walmart parking lot along with three new enhanced images of the suspect dressed in sunglasses, a white short-sleeved, buttoned-down shirt, dark pants and a red, white and dark-colored baseball hat.

    The suspect is a white man in his mid-30s to mid-40s with short brown hair. He stands 5 feet 10 inches tall and weighs roughly 180 pounds...


    Budnick said the case remains an active investigation and as such he would not release details about why the suspect visited the Middle River store, whether he purchased any items or any more specific details about the encounter with the minivan driver.
    New photos and update

    Why wait so long to release other photos? Those photos are quite clear even if the face is somewhat obscured and the suspect even changed baseball caps and shirts. The caps look like they might be easily identifiable. And why the different Walmarts of all places?

    He's here - He's there - He's everywhere! This case will be solved right after they find out who kidnapped Lindberg's baby.

    One thing that I find strange is it seems he's always leaving the store without anything in his hands.
    Why isn't he buying anything ? What is he going into the WalMarts for ?

    He's the guy who takes all those "People of WALMART" photos; you just can't see his hidden camera.

    At least they provided the race. Which is more than the Sun does in most articles.
