PARRISH, Florida (AP) -- Florida police are crediting a 13-year-old boy
with providing an accurate description of his abductor, leading
authorities to the suspect's home and the red pickup truck believed to
have been used in the kidnapping.

The information given to police by Clay Moore, 13, allowed authorities
to get an arrest warrant for Vicente Ignacio Beltran-Moreno, 22, the
Manatee County Sheriff's Department announced Sunday.

"He was right on the money with the information that he gave us,"
Sheriff Charlie Wells said at the Sunday morning news conference. (Watch

Police believe Beltran-Moreno has fled Florida. They provided no
information on his possible whereabouts.

Clay told police he was abducted at gunpoint on Friday morning from a
school bus stop in Parrish, about 30 miles southeast of St. Petersburg,
Florida.

He was taken to a wooded area and tied to a tree, but managed to escape
some five hours later, walked a "considerable distance" and borrowed a
farm worker's cell phone to call his mother, Wells said.

After talking to Clay, police identified the suspect as Beltran-Moreno
and set up surveillance at his Manatee County home at around 4 p.m. on
Saturday, Wells said. (Watch police explain how Clay was kidnapped Video)

During their investigation, police recovered a ransom note, possibly
intended for Clay's parents, that contained unspecified threats, Wells said.

"It was his intention, the suspect's intention, to leave Clay Moore tied
in the woods until he got his money," Wells said.

Wells said he was "shocked" after reading the note, which he did not detail.

Police do not believe the suspect had specifically targeted Clay. Wells
said Clay "was just at the wrong place at the wrong time."

Because of the teen's ability to recall details about the suspect and
where he was taken, Wells said, "the bottom line is that the man
kidnapped the wrong kid."

Beltran-Moreno, who is from Mexico, is believed to have fled Florida in
the wake of the manhunt, according to Wells. Police said they saw no
activity during their surveillance of his house.

That's some shrewd marketing. Been all over the local news for 2-3
days- every announcer and writer wants to be able to say or print
"bitch". A $100,000 media campaign wouldn't have etched this business
any more indelibly into the mind of the locals.

Just as easily could have been a boat store, sort of. Couldn't we say
that a "high maintenance bitch" is a complaint about the high amount
or high cost of maintenance associated with owning a boat?

But, you're old wooden hull didn't decide to delaminate right brfore
you very eyes, did it?

Mine wasn't that quick, but it didn't take long for it to keep
shedding its skin.

At what $$$ rate are you accruing for the next rebuild/repower?

Maintenace accrual and depreciation are the dirty little hidden costs
no one wants to think about let alone discuss.
