Hello and welcome to the best case, worst case. This is Jim Clementi, retired FBI profiler, former

New York City prosecutor, writer-producer of criminal minds. And with me today is the lovely

Maureen O'Connell, 25-year veteran of the FBI and 20-year veteran of the FBI's evidence response team.

How are you doing, Jim?

Good, thank you.

And this case is a very, very difficult case, but also a miraculous case.

This is one of the ones for the historical books because this is a crazy situation

and scenario. This happened in a town in Michigan called Hemtrampk, and it is a town where a 16-year-old

girl was either waiting for the bus or on her way to school, and something terrible happened at 7 a.m.

Right.

She was waiting for the bus, and out of nowhere, a man came up and held a gun to her and instructed her to get into his van, which is the most frightening of all scenarios.

And he stuck this gun in her back, and he ordered her into the van, and that is a very extremely dangerous situation.

It is a situation in which he is bringing the victim into an environment where he has more

privacy and control, and that never bodes well for the victim.

It's very, very, very dangerous for especially children who get taken to be moved to another location.

And it's a situation where very few survive.

Yeah, it is, unfortunately.

This is the kind, this is an abduction, a very, very rare kind of abduction in the United States.

It happens about 160 to 200 times a year,

according to the research we did in the behavioral analysis unit.

But unfortunately, in about two-thirds of those cases,

the victim does not survive.
