Summary

A quick bonus episode to discuss the recent abduction in upstate New York of a 9 year old girl who thankfully was found 48 hours after she went missing. Jim and Laura weigh in on the behavior of the suspect in custody and if they think there was stalking involved in this case. While we normally do not mention the name of the offender if we can help it, in this case it is important to identify him — Craig Nelson Ross, Jr., 47 of Ballston Spa, New York — in the event there are more victims or near miss offenses out there unreported. If you think you have information about this case, please contact the New York State Police or the Saratoga County Police. We are not naming the 9 year old victim (though we know her name has been all over the news) because her parents have expressed the desire to have her life go back to being as normal as possible after this terrifying event. Join us as we discuss this case that is every parents’ nightmare. This is a fast moving story and more background information on the suspect is coming forth even as we post this episode.

0:30.0	Hey, everybody. Welcome to Real Crime Profites. Lisa Z here with our dynamic duo, Brilliant People,
0:40.4	Jim Clemente and Laura Richards. And I asked them to jump on with me because of the news that's
0:45.2	been going on in the past few days about an abduction that happened in upstate New York of a
0:50.0	nine-year-old girl. We are actually not going to say her name because her parents have asked that,
0:54.8	you know, she get back to her normal life as quickly as possible, especially since she's been found
0:59.3	safe. But I wanted to ask you all about this case that broke over the weekend on, I believe it
1:04.5	was Saturday, September 30th. She was, she went missing around 6.45 pm. Her family was camping
1:12.8	at a campground in upstate New York and she went missing. And then people very quickly
1:18.5	mobilized and got involved. And thankfully she was found safe on on Monday evening. But I wanted
1:25.6	to know what was going through all of your heads as we know what a critical time it is when a
1:30.9	child is reported missing. Yeah. And before we get into that, this is a case where I do want to
1:37.0	name the suspect because I do believe that the police need to know if this guy has been involved
1:44.0	harassing or stalking or doing anything else around kids before because he's what 47 years old
1:52.5	and that's very late in life to start this kind of behavior. So I do think it's important that
1:58.2	everybody knows his name is Craig Ross Jr. And he was living in a trailer apparently behind
2:05.6	his mother's double wide trailer. So that's something that, you know, we can get into wear and all
2:12.2	that in a minute or we'll post that information. But certainly when it happened, when I learned of
