"Dad confronts kidnapper, saves 5-year-old daughter" Associated Press November 08, 2014
SALT LAKE CITY — A Utah man foiled an attempt to kidnap his young daughter from her bed early Friday after confronting a man carrying her across the lawn.
The 5-year-old girl wasn’t hurt in the frightening experience, but the incident has evoked haunting echoes of when 14-year-old Elizabeth Smart was snatched out of her Salt Lake City bedroom in 2002. She was held captive for nine months before being found.
Police identified the suspect in this case as Troy Morley of Roy, Utah. Morley was arrested on charges of child kidnapping, burglary, trespassing, and resisting arrest.
Morley allegedly entered the home through an unlocked door at about 4:30 a.m., in Sandy, a middle-class suburb south of Salt Lake City, Police Sergeant Dean Carriger said.
The intruder was in the family’s basement searching through things when he came upon the girl sleeping in her bedroom, Carriger said. The suspect took her out of bed and carried her upstairs, making noises that woke the parents.
The girl’s father went to the door and saw the man carrying his daughter in the front lawn. He ran outside and confronted the man, asking him what he was doing and demanding that he give back his girl.
The suspect handed her over to her father without confrontation, Carriger said. The suspect then fled, and the father called 911.
Officers conducted a search, with the help of police dogs.
Police captured the 48-year-old man outside a second home. The family told police they had never seen and don’t know the suspect.
