DISPATCHER: 911, state your emergency.

STELTING: IÂ?ve been kidnapped. I have been taken from in front of my house. I am Â? IÂ?m in the back of a van. I was told Â? he put a gun to my head and he told me to run or he would shoot me and my family.

DISPATCHER: OK; itÂ?s OK. OK, um, what Â? whatÂ?s your address, babe?

Before I comment on this there are a few other facts to bring out. She made the call around 6:30 AM on a Tuesday, and the call came from a tower 10 miles south of the town she lives in. Just before 10:00 that evening she knocked on a door about a mile from her home, and the people called police.

Things aren't making sense, but the FBI issued a statement that "it would be inappropriate to presume we are doubting Kelsey's story", mainly because they were interviewing students at the school. They don't have the cell phone either, I wonder why that is, wouldn't the girl have it? One would assume it was her phone she used.

Ok, why am I so negative? Here's what I think. I think she took some time off with someone, a friend from school, either planned or spur of the moment thing. She is a really good kid, so she is worrying all morning about skipping school, and comes up with the kidnap story to account for her whereabouts. She doesn't want to spend the night away from home, so conveniently before 10 that evening she is able to "get away" and go to a neighbor's house. The story isn't jiving with the FBI because the call was made from a spot 2 hours away from her home, but then she is able to get away from her abductor by hitting him with a coke bottle, which happened in the woods a short distance from the house where she ended up.
