KIDNAPPED DARRICK CHARLES BROWN SAFE

A TERRIFYING kidnapping off the streets of Baltimore has unleashed a massive manhunt--happily, the child has been found safe and sound. Cops say 8-year-old Darrick Charles Brown was abducted off the street Monday night while walking with pals. He was later found unharmed at an abandoned house. One suspect is in custody and cops have released a photo of Raheem Taylor, 21, who they also want to question. The light green, newer model Ford Taurus with two people inside stopped near the group of kids, and one of the people
inside the Taurus got out, grabbed Brown and threw him into the trunk before the vehicle sped away, cops say.

Moses said a concerned citizen saw what she thought was suspicious activity at the vacant house.
A police source said: "That citizen noticed a little boy at the vacant house. She thought it may have been the little boy we were looking for, and it turns out it was."
Details were skimpy as to motive.

ARE PHYLICIA BARNES' KILLERS CHILD PORN SICKOS?

FEDS suspect murdered North Carolina teen Phylicia Barnes may have been killed by child pornographers. The pretty 16-year-old honor student from Monroe, NC vanished Dec. 28 while visiting family in Baltimore. Her body was found floating in the Susquehanna River four months later.
Now, the Feds are seeking access to multiple email and social media accounts including some bearing the teen's name. So far cops have been tight-lipped. But it is known that the warrants are part of a probe into kiddie porn and the sexual exploitation of children.
Barnes death was ruled a homicide but so far no cause has been released. There have been no arrests.
According to the Charlotte Observer: The applications seek access to three e-mail accounts that include Barnes' first name and a Facebook account in her name and linked to accounts in her relatives' names. The Baltimore Sun reports that they also seek access to four accounts that appear to be associated with men with Baltimore ties.
 Her half-brother Bryan Barnes said the family was told a while ago cops were pursuing the kiddie porn angle: "They're exploring every possible reason. We're still in contact with police. We have faith in them that something will be coming soon."

DARRY'EL PARKER, 4, AND WITNESS MOM MURDERED

INNOCENT

AN INNOCENT four-year old has been found brutally murdered along with her mom who was supposed to testify in an upcoming trial, cops say.
Tiny Darry'el Amani Parker was found near her mother Alicia Lee Avery, who was pregnant with a second child in Baltimore's Welcome Inn motel, where the pair had been living as she awaited her time to give evidence.
Her sister Deniesha Avery called the death tragic and told WBAL TV that she last saw her sister Thursday and hinted that pressure may have been put on the 25-year-old to withdraw her evidence, as she received all sorts of calls from a man during
the visit.
She said:  "He just kept harassing her all night long, kept harassing her, harassing her."
She added: "It's just sad to see she's gone. Who could possibly do this to an innocent 25-year-old and a 4-year-old child, and then an unborn baby at that? That's just wrong."
It's thought young Darry'el was killed to prevent her from identifying her mother's attacker, although cops remained tight lipped about the case and refused to reveal which trial Avery was due to testify in.
The City State's Attorney's Office said: "For safety and investigative reasons, we do not discuss the identification of witnesses in any case."
Investigators found the bodies when they called on the pair as part of a routine check leading up to the trial.
Detective Cathy Batton of the Baltimore County Police Department said: "The victims had not been seen for several days, so officers came to check on them."
She added that the department's homicide unit is investigating.
So far Police have no suspects, so they're looking for any information that could help lead them to whoever is responsible.
Anyone who may have had recent contact with Avery or her daughter should contact the Baltimore County Police Department at 410-307-2020
