2 Missing Amish Girls From New York Found After Apparent Abduction [View all]

Source: Associated Press

ALBANY, N.Y. (AP) — Two missing Amish sisters turned up safe Thursday evening, about 24 hours after they were apparently abducted from their family's roadside farm stand in northern New York, authorities said.

St. Lawrence County District Attorney Mary Rain said the girls were cold and wet but unharmed when they sought help at a home in Richville, about 13 miles from where they disappeared in the rural town of Oswegatchie.

She said 12-year-old Fannie Miller and 7-year-old Delila Miller were dropped off and knocked on the door, asking for help getting home. A neighbor who visited the Miller family after hearing word of the girls' return said she spoke with one of their brothers, who said they were well and being checked out.

There were no other details immediately available about what happened to the girls.

The authorities didn't even have pictures of these girls as pictures are forbidden within the Amish community.

Godspeed to these young girls, indeed.

This OP could very well be locked by the OK Coral as regional even though it was on the national news this evening.

I'll gladly repost in another forum if necessary.
