A nationwide manhunt for a man accused of kidnapping a 13-year-old girl and her 22-day-old baby came to an end Saturday when the three were found in a rural area of West Virginia. ... Kanawha County Dispatchers told WOWK-TV they received a report that Chris Derleth’s credit card had been used around 1:46pm Friday. Deputies believe Derleth is equipped with tents, sleeping bags and other goods and may be hiding out in a campground, national forest, or a rural wooded area, that would allow for free or inexpensive primitive camping.Then he had the misfortune to walk into a convenience store where there was a sales clerk who was paying attention to Amber Alerts:
Faye Jarrell works at a convenience store along Cabin Creek Road. She says a little after noon Saturday, a customer walked in whose face was immediately recognizable.Dumbass. And, given the family structure, DNA tests of the asshole and the baby might be illuminating.
"As soon as he walked through the door, I said 'Oh my God, that's the guy who kidnapped and they have the Amber Alert for.' "
Good on that clerk! This is what Amber Alerts are supposed to do.
