I remember this sad case. The parents were dining out w/ friends when the other son or friend of his (forgot which) called them and told them to come home immediately. Someone had abducted him when the three of them were riding their bikes.
It took years for that case to be solved. There was always the clue with the other boy who was picked up and abused. It turned out to be the same man. In a lot of these cases they do have the person in their databases. Heartbreaking like a lot of these occurrences are. I hope Molly Bish's case is solved eventually as I'm sure they know who the culprit is there as well. One good thing is that a lot of these old cases are being solved years later. Now with dna technology the chances of catching these monsters are getting better all the time.
Child abductions by strangers are pretty rare but they do capture the headlines.

I think most of us can convince ourselves that no one we know would ever harm our child, but the fear of a stranger isn't something you can ever entirely dismiss. The extremely low chance of it happening doesn't completely remove the fear that every parent has about their child.
I agree with you about Molly Bish - I lived in the Boston area when that happened, and I think it was heart wrenching for everyone, regardless of whether they knew her or not.
The other one that still gets to me is Kyron Horman. He was a couple of years older than my own son, and while they don't look alike, there was something about him that reminded me of my kid. I so hoped he would be found unharmed but all these years later, that doesn't seem likely.
There is an excellent podcast, In the Dark - Season 1, that tells the sad story of Jacob Wetterling. The way missing children cases were investigated back then was so different from how they are done now.

Me too. What really disturbed me so much was Mrs. Bish even saw the perv but talked herself out of the little niggling feeling. I sure hope it gets solved one day.
I cried when I found out what the perp did to the boy. Who would do that to a kid? Realizing that the perp was himself molested as a child, it made me think child molestation perpetuates itself. Such evil.
