Target employee helps save kidnapped 7-year-old



An employee at a California Target store helped cops find a man accused of snatching a 7-year-old girl from her home last week.
Security specialist Roxanna Ramirez said she spotted a suspicious man in the Pittsburg, Calif., store on Friday, and cops busted the creep later that night on a suspected kidnapping charge.

“He was just being weird. Like, his activities were not normal,” Ramirez told local TV station KPIX 5.
The eagle-eyed department store detective said she wrote down the license plate number of the suspect’s car after his behavior turned even more bizarre after he left the store.

“He was pacing back and forth. He was changing his clothes in the parking lot. He started messing around with his backpack,” Ramirez told the station. “And at one point, he was sitting in the car, shaking his steering wheel.”
Alleged perp David Douglas admitted he kidnapped Natalie Calvo – but later bizarrely claimed the crime was only a “cry for help.”

Douglas insisted he didn’t sexually assault the child, saying he just drove her around for a while and even took her to a McDonald’s for some Chicken McNuggets, which she refused to eat.
An Amber Alert went out, and cops said they launched a manhunt for the creep because Ramirez had given them his plate number.
When cops caught up with him at the Antioch Marina on the San Joaquin River, Douglas told Bay Area News he was telling the terrified girl he was an angel awaiting further instructions from God.

“I’m happy that the girl is with her family. I’m happy that she gets to live the childhood that she deserves. I hope she puts this tragic thing behind her,” Ramirez said.
