CHRISTMAS MIRACLE RECOVERY

Natalie Rose Flores - MISSING

Natalie Rose Flores - MISSING

UPDATE:  Great news this holiday, authorities say Officer Mike Burns spotted the abductors vehicle and chased the driver down.  The officer alerted his department that he was onto the suspect, and spike strips were put across the roadway.  When the suspect drove over the strips, his tires went flat.  He bailed out of his truck and ran on foot.  Officers caught up to him about a block away, arrested the man, and he’s being held on charges of kidnapping, aggravated assault on a police officer, and felony pursuit.  Natalie was found alive, and well, and returned to her family this holiday.  Normally in stranger abduction cases, you don’t see this kind of happy ending — and it’s even better that this miracle occurred on Christmas.  Great work Officer Burns — Thank you for all you’ve done.
