Baffling Thanksgiving Crime Smells Fishy. Police don’t Seem to be Calling Foul.

So here are the apparent facts of the case as we know them.

At approximately noon on Thanksgiving Day, a twenty year old man was walking near his apartment on 1100 block of St. Paul Street. Three men in a white Lexus drive up to him and force him in the trunk of their car.

Now, why would three men in a Lexus kidnap a pedestrian in Mt. Vernon? If he’s 20 years old, not home on Thanksgiving, and living in what is most likely a one room flat between Chase and Biddle, chances are he has no money.

The kidnappers drive around the city of nine hours, forcing the abducted to call his friends on a cell phone and beg for money.

After nine hours of driving, having not received any money, they drive into a gated community way way out in the suburbs, force the abducted to strip naked and run before shooting him in the back. According to Police, it was pure coincidence that of the roughly 500 thousand homes in front of which they had to choose from, they chose to dump the abducted in front of the residence of Baltimore’s most cherished and famous son, Cal Ripken Jr.

Now, I’ve been checking the story since it broke, waiting to see “Deranged Fan” to replace “Kidnapped Victim” in the headlines. But, as of yet, this has not happened.

Could the kid’s story be true??
