Missing for nearly two-and-a-half-hours, authorities were only moments away from issuing an Amber Alert for the girl when she was returned, CNN reported Monday.
Speaking to a reporter with Lancaster Online on Saturday, 15-year-old Temar Boggs said he was helping move an elderly womans couch at a nearby apartment complex Thursday evening when someone approached asking if hed seen a little girl.
After a short break, Boggs and a friend, Chris Garcia, walked outside again only to discover a swarm of police in the streets. They were all searching for 5-year-old Jocelyn Rojas, who was taken by a man while playing in her front yard just two hours earlier.
Boggs and Garcia hopped on bikes and began pedaling frantically. Suddenly, about a half-mile away from the apartment complex, Boggs spotted her in a dark red car being driven by white man, said to be approximately 50-70 years old.

(243 posts)He wouldn't have been there to save this little girl. And yet scumbags like Zimmerman will never see the worth of a good and decent young man like this. It just makes me so sad.

(13,570 posts)An African American teenager and a Hispanic American teenager helping a European American family find their child. No one cared about anything except doing what was right and finding that kid. And then a grateful family. Everyone caring about each as other as people and helping each other. Taking some responsibility, using some courage, and being helpful and grateful. Nice ! THIS is what it is about.
