Sheriff’s Office Seeks Info In Possible Attempted Child Abduction
June 2, 2015
The Escambia County Sheriff’s Office is seeking to identify a man that may have been involved in a possible attempted child abduction.
On Sunday, the Sheriff’s Office received a call from a concerned parent after the driver of a maroon and gray Dodge Caravan called her six-year old over to the van as if to lure him in. When the driver saw the mother, he quickly left the area.
The vehicle was possibly a 2004 model Dodge Caravan, had no license plate and was driven by a bald, heavyset man in his 40’s, the Sheriff’s Office said. The incident occurred in the Bimini Court area, near South Blue Angel Parkway.
Anyone with any information should contact the Escambia County Sheriff’s Office at (850) 436-9620.

This article refers to the child as “him”….Lord only knows what this mans motive was… Just out of curiosity, from a law enforcement perspective, would it be appropriate or responsible for a citizen to report a vehicle being driven (in traffic) without a tag ? … Or, should one mind their own business?…
Thanks to God this man did not get that precious child. Thank God Mom was there and paying attention. That baby girl never would have been seen alive again.
but now we must find this man and prosecute him.
That’s around a 1994 model pictured
@ Dennis, too bad it’s still the incorrect body style.
I appreciate whoever took the trouble to find a similar van so a pic could be posted! Will make it easier if I see a similar situation happening.. And if you have a van similar to this yell at me that it isn’t you -lol!!
