I'm very happy they found this little girl:

Police arrested a suspect Monday in the kidnapping of 9-year-old Jennette Tamayo just hours after the girl walked into a convenience store, shaken but safe.


Police took the man into custody at a friend's home. He tried to fight off officers and was taken to the hospital after a police dog bit him.


The home was less than a mile from where an intruder brazenly kidnapped Jennette on Friday after savagely beating her mother and brother.


Police said they believe the man knew of the fourth-grade girl through one of her former schoolmates — though neither Jennette nor her family recognized him.


The man looked like a police sketch of the suspect and had injuries consistent with what police expected from the struggle he had with Jennette's mother, Police Chief William Lansdowne said.


"We're very confident this is the right person," Lansdowne said
.

Why did the Elizabeth Smart case get alot more coverage than this story?
