Suspect Headed To Work Off Muscogee Road After Kidnapping Attempt, ESCO Report Says
May 20, 2021
The man accused of the attempted kidnapping of an 11-year old girl from a bus stop Tuesday morning in Escambia County headed to work off Muscogee Road after the incident.
Jared Paul Stanga, 30, is charged with attempted kidnapping of a child under 13, aggravated assault and battery. He was booked into the Escambia County Jail with bond set at just over $1.5 million.
About 7 a.m., a white Dodge Journey pulled up to the girl waiting at the bus stop on Old Corry Field Road and Perdido Street. That when Stanga tried to grab the girl, but she fought back.
The Escambia County Sheriff’s Office was able to piece together video evidence that Stanga fled from the kidnapping scene along North Corry Field Road, to New Warrington Road to Mobile Highway. Numerous cameras captured the vehicle along Mobile Highway, and an eventual turn onto Pine Forest Road to the Murphy Express. One of those cameras clearly showed the license plate.
The Murphy Express video shows the Dodge Journey with a chrome bumper in the parking lot and Stanga wearing the same blue shirt, blue jeans and slide shoes as in the kidnapping video, an arrest report states. Stanga made a purchase inside the store and entered his own phone number to use a reward card.
Stanga’s employer informed investigators that he works at a company site just off Muscogee Road across the Florida/Alabama line. The employer is not named in the arrest report.
According to his supervisor, Stanga sent a text message at 7:02 a.m. saying that he would be late for work because he had to take his child to school. The supervisor said he thought this was odd because he believed Stanga’s child goes to virtual school.
He arrived at work about 7:45 a.m., parking his vehicle behind barn. His co-workers said the parking location was odd, and Stanga’s behavior and demeanor were out of character. The co-workers told investigators that he repeatedly took calls from his wife in private Tuesday when he always talks to her on a headset in front of all of them.
The Escambia County Sheriff’s Office was waiting when Stanga arrived home on Betty Road. They found that the front chrome bumper of his vehicle had recently been painted black — they could smell fresh paint and see recent drips. Stanga had changed clothes, according to the report, between leaving work and arriving home, but the slides and blue jeans were in plain view inside the vehicle.
Stanga also had blue substance smeared on his left arm. It was the same color as the slime the young girl was playing with at the time of the attempted abduction.

@DK…I see your point in saying police should have been called. As much human trafficking rings and such around when the girl reported to the school the first time they should have paid attention.
@David, DK has a right to his opinion just like the rest of us. DK’s asked a rhetorical question which means he/she doesn’t really expect an answer. Seems to me you are just attacking DK. Now that’s just my opinion.
Discusting pig!!
Some people comment just to hear themselves speak and we all know who that would be?Turn everything into a soap opera.99.9% of the public would say the police should have been called that’s common sense that some definitely Do Not Have.
Law Enforcement may need to do some investigations on Unsolved Mysteries of Missing People. Especially young children and teens in this area. Jared Stanga with attempted kidnapping and Rodney Joyner kidnapping both happening this week.
Makes you wonder if there are others we don’t know about.
The kidnapping of a teenager in Walnut Hill by Rodney Joyner should have never taken place. Her father put her out of his vehicle for arguing with her brother. What idiot does that in these times of a crazy world? He’s lucky his daughter was found 5 hours later.
I hope the investigators are able to rule out him having any other prior victims, god forbid. What a miserable sack of excrement
DK RIGHT BUT WE HAVE TO VOTE THEM OUT SCHOOL BOARD + others SCAMMED VOTERS LAST ELECTION MAYBE STATE INVESTGATION? HELPGLAD BUS STOP MOV’D BACK TO SAF’R AREA WHERE IT SHOULD HAVE STAYED!!
Get him out of society and behind bar….ASAP
@ DK
You asked why….uh…that means you want an explanation..!!!.God bless your little soul anyway
His attorney is a real slime ball. Claiming he’s the wrong man when the evidence is clear. His attorney was probably in on it. Some one needs to investigate Robert Dees. Simple research shows he has a history for defending murderers and rapist who later get exposed for being in human trafficking rings.
@David. Not asking for explanation no excuse when a person is over school houses I’ll of children and it’s reported a possible abduction and police did not get called.Fired
Right… so Community “Meeting” on Muscogee Road.
See you all there!
His lawyer says they have the wrong man….LOL LOL LOL LOL
This is one of the things that appears to be child trafficking. Just an opinion.
Hope this piece of crap rots in jail!
@ Dk
Well. No one owes you a excuse or reason. It’s not about you. People a whole lot more educated are handling this. And…who told you not to call the people and ask your questions. They are coming out of the woodwork now..dont know how to use a phone?
Again..its not about you!!!!
So the guy who attempted and failed to kidnap a child on Old Correy Field Rd days ago has no bond BUT the guy who actually kidnapped a child has only a $56k bond?
“yea, I’m going to be a little late this morning, gotta kidnap a young girl at knife point, no plea deals judge for this despicable act against a child
Why?Police we’re not called after first incident?Yall called everyone in the country when the homecoming scandal,and this no one was called no excuse,unacceptable people at school board need to be fired starting at the top Superintendent!
