CORINTH (WBAP/KLIF News) – Corinth Police are searching for the suspect in the alleged kidnapping attempt of a young girl who was walking home from school this week.
Investigators said the victim told police it happened on Wednesday around 4 p.m. on Robinson Rd. between Pine Hills Ln and Berkley Dr.
An older Hispanic man in a brown or tan pickup, possibly mid 2000’s model with a camper shell initially drove past her, stopped and then exited the passenger side of the truck.
