Police say a 13-year-old girl kidnapped in Texas was rescued in Southern California when passersby saw her hold up a 'help me' sign in a parked car.
Sablan was being held at the federal Metropolitan Detention Center in downtown LA. It was not immediately known if he had an attorney.
At some point after getting in Sablan’s car, the girl told him about her friend and Sablan said he could take her to a cruise ship to go to Australia, but that she would have to do something for him, the affidavit said. In Long Beach, the suspect parked at a laundromat and told the girl to change her clothes, then took her clothes and his inside, creating the opportunity for the girl to write “help me” on a piece of note paper, according to the document.
