Johns Creek police are dealing with a mystery surrounding an e-mail circulating throughout North Fulton that relays the tale of a young girl nearly being kidnapped on Haynes Bridge Road. The problem, say investigators, is they can't find any evidence it was ever reported.
According to the e-mail, a young girl was involved in an attempted abduction Nov. 17 at the corner of Haynes Bridge and Old Alabama Road. The girl was getting off of the school bus in front of her house with a girlfriend when a black SUV with dark-tinted windows pulled up beside the two young girls, said the message.
Two assailants got out of the SUV and tried to abduct the two girls. The young girl was able to run and hide behind a nearby tree, while her classmate tried to bite her abductor, causing them to flee. The message concludes by saying the girls know the suspects, and the suspects know where the girls live.
However, Sgt. Debra Kalish of John's Creek Police Department said there's no record of it. She's been sending out e-mails of her own trying to calm down Johns Creek residents and get to the bottom of the situation.
"I have been receiving e-mails and phone calls about the matter, and I do not want people to panic when there is no proof this attempted kidnapping even occurred," she said.
Her e-mail reads: Johns Creek Police believe that an alleged Nov. 17 attempted child abduction — as reported in an anonymous e-mail circulating throughout the city — is unfounded.
The JCPD has not been able to confirm any information contained in the e-mail regarding the alleged incident Monday near Haynes Bridge and Old Alabama roads. The incident was not reported to the Johns Creek Police Department nor any other area police department.
Please share this update with your family and neighbors and ask that they not further any misconceptions by forwarding this e-mail should they receive it.
At the same time, if you have any substantive information about any possible crime, please do not hesitate to contact us.
