That closing paragraph is the most fucked-up thing ever. I know that reporters frequently like to link their stories to similar incidents (cf. all the references to school shootings in the Columbine coverage, even though school shootings were actually down that year), but eeeeesh. That's a level of fucked-up far beyond kidnapping someone else's kid.
