<p class="mol-para-with-font">Authorities in northeastern Ohio are looking to find a suspected serial child abductor who is wanted in connection with the kidnapping of a 6-year-old Cleveland girl in May and the attempted abduction of a 10-year-old girl in February.<br />
The case which has left federal investigators baffled has had more than 200 cops and federal agents, working on it.<br />
Authorities have just released a surveillance video of the suspected kidnapper that shows his face, driving a distinctive car. The suspect&#8217;s profile has been posted on social media and highway billboards nationwide with hopes someone would recognize him. So far, the 325 tips have led nowhere.<br />

<p>The dragnet has now been spread all through Northeast Ohio , with FBI hoping members of the public would recognize the suspect. To enhance prospects of an arrest, feds are specifically re-directing their efforts in Lorain County, where the first known attempted abduction occurred on February 25, this year.<br />
&#8220;We&#8217;re wondering if we&#8217;re just targeting the right audience,&#8221; FBI spokeswoman Kelly Liberti said. &#8220;When we went out to North Ridgeville to see if there was a connection with an attempted abduction out there, they had no idea what we were talking about.&#8221;<br />
For the first time on Thursday, the FBI acknowledged that the 6-year-old girl was violently assaulted by her abductor during the 17 hours he held her in his room at an unknown location.<br />
FBI spokesperson Vicki Anderson said investigators are baffled they are yet to obtain workable tips that will help track down the suspect in this case.<br />
&#8220;Someone knows him,&#8221; Liberti said. &#8220;Someone was in the house with the girl.&#8221;<br />
Speaking about the suspect&#8217;s vehicle, Anderson said they&#8217;ve had some difficulty nailing down a specific year for the Chevy Malibu that he drove to the Cleveland abduction. Working with Chevy engineers, investigators have narrowed the model year down to a 2002 or 2003 model. They know it&#8217;s a dark colored car, but don&#8217;t know the exact color because it isn&#8217;t clear in the surveillance video. The car which has an after-market spoiler on the back, also has a distinctive lighter colored panel on the front driver&#8217;s side.<br />
<span class="embed-youtube" style="text-align:center; display: block;"><amp-youtube data-videoid="cHnV4Z3S3dc" data-param-rel="1" data-param-showsearch="0" data-param-showinfo="1" data-param-iv_load_policy="1" data-param-fs="1" data-param-hl="en-US" data-param-autohide="2" data-param-wmode="transparent" width="620" height="349" layout="responsive"><a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cHnV4Z3S3dc" placeholder><amp-img src="https://i.ytimg.com/vi/cHnV4Z3S3dc/hqdefault.jpg" alt="YouTube Poster" layout="fill" object-fit="cover"><noscript><img src="https://i.ytimg.com/vi/cHnV4Z3S3dc/hqdefault.jpg" loading="lazy" decoding="async" alt="YouTube Poster"></noscript></amp-img></a></amp-youtube></span><br />
The hunt is on to ascertain if a chop shop or area salvage yards demolished a car fitting that description, noting that they&#8217;ve combed hours of surveillance video from the surrounding neighborhoods for the days before and after each abduction, hoping to catch a glimpse of the car without success.<br />
A composite sketch of the man that was released was too vague to be helpful, in some cases, has drawn investigators into wasting chases after tips generated from the sketch.<br />
&#8220;The sketch looks like half the guys in Ohio,&#8221; Anderson said.<br />
However, they&#8217;ve spread the photos across the country, including Louisville, Detroit, Indianapolis and Buffalo to no avail. What the FBI does know is that he&#8217;s a violent predator.<br />
&#8220;He&#8217;s a bad, bad guy,&#8221; Anderson added.</p>
<p><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-83970" src="https://konniemoments.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/10/mysterious-cleveland-and-elyria-child-abduction-cases3.jpg" alt="mysterious-cleveland-and-elyria-child-abduction-cases3" width="621" height="277" /><br />
On Feb. 24, the suspect went into the home of 10-year-old Elyria and unlocked several doors and windows. The next day, he opened the girl&#8217;s bedroom window, grabbed her legs and tried to pull her outside. She fought the man off and ran to her father&#8217;s bedroom for help.<br />
A week later, he abducted a 6-year-old Cleveland girl. He was seen walking near the girl&#8217;s home May 14, 15 and 20. In the early morning hours of May 21, he parked across the street, went into her home and snatched her as she slept.<br />
The man allegedly, ran back across the street to his car and drove to a home in an unknown location. The victim described the bedroom where she was held as having pictures of a deer on the walls. She also heard a woman&#8217;s voice ask her abductor if the man wanted anything to eat. Anderson said they do not believe that woman knew the abducted girl was inside the home.<br />
17 hours later, the man dropped the girl off later at an intersection. She walked up to a nearby home and rang the doorbell. The residents recognized her from media reports and called police.<br />
Expressing concern by feds of the possibility of more victims in the future if they don&#8217;t stop the kidnapper, Liberti said : &#8220;Whoever he is, he&#8217;s very dangerous&#8221; . &#8220;And he&#8217;s dangerous to anyone with a child.&#8221;<br />
The FBI is asking anyone with knowledge of the incident, or can help identify the man, to call their tip line at 216-622-6824<em>.</em></p>
