ECSO Investigating Reported Abduction Of Teen Girl In Bratt; She Was Found Unharmed

February 28, 2023

The Escambia County Sheriff’s Office is investigating the reported abduction of a teenage girl in Bratt Tuesday.

“We are investigating the validity of that claim and will continue that investigation,” ECSO spokesperson Morgan Lewis told NorthEscambia.com.

The girl reported that she was abducted from her home in Bratt by a male that forced her to drive away in her father’s pickup truck.

The Sheriff’s Office and Escambia County EMS responded to the “Bratt Crossroads” store at the intersection of North Highway 99 and West Highway 4 where the alleged victim was evaluated by EMS.  She was not injured.

The pickup truck was found abandoned next to North Pine Barren Road just south of Bratt Road, about three miles from her home.

An ECSO K-9 and multiple deputies searched the area, but the alleged suspect was not located.

There was no suspect description available.

    Why is there no description of the suspect? And
    with the truck found that close, and her being found safe, something just don’t add up..
    Could there be more to the story? This is too close to home and our children at the elementary school . There needs to be a public description of said subject and he needs to be behind bars!!

    Why does this remind me of the boy who called wolf. I would mush rather that be the case than someone bad like what is accused here.

    I was wondering what was going on. I saw everyone at the store and my first thought was they must have got robbed. Then I got to pine Barren and seen the deputies surrounding that truck.

    I’m so glad she was found and unharmed. Hope they catch him soon.
