14 DAY TRIAL // A kidnapped five-year-old girl from Pennsylvania may still be alive today due to the help coming from two teenage neighbors.
The boys set out to find her after she was taken and chased the kidnapper on their bikes until he surrendered the victim.
Temar Boggs and Chris Garcia of Lancaster Township were visiting a friend when they found out that a girl had gone missing from 100 block of Jennings Drive.
They saw the neighborhood rally to find her and, along with five other boys, they joined in the rescue mission, Lancaster Online reported.
"The whole block was filled. [...] We got all of our friends to go look for her. We made our own little search party," Boggs details.
"I had the gut feeling that I was going to find the little girl," he adds.
The pair scoured Michelle Drive, St. Phillips Drive and Gable Park Road, where they spotted a maroon car with the driver trying to get away from the area but looking lost.
He spotted a little girl inside the car and both boys started chasing after the vehicle.
"Soon as the guy started noticing that we were chasing them, he stopped at the end of the hill and let her out and she ran to me and said that she needed her mom and I brought her back over here to police," Buggs details.
The little girl was assaulted, a police source said, without providing more information on her current condition.
"She runs to my arms and said, 'I need to see my mommy. [...] She didn't want to leave me because she thought they were going to do something to her. I said, 'No, it's OK,'" Boggs recalls.
He downplays his involvement in the rescue, citing that anyone in his position would have acted the same.
"I'm just a normal person who did a thing that anybody else would do," he says.
