The 39-year-old Illinois man suspected of kidnapping his 13-year-old stepdaughter and her 2-week-old son last week has been taken into custody after all three were located in a rural mountainous range south of Charleston, West Virginia on Saturday.

The Madison County Sheriff's Department in Illinois announced Saturday that Katherine Derleth and her infant child, Christopher R. Derleth, had been found after a nationwide search launched following their disappearance on Sept. 18 from their foster care home.

They were located with the girl's stepfather, Christopher M. Derleth, who authorities allege abducted the children. Derleth was taken into custody without incident.

At a press conference last Monday before he was found, authorities said Christopher M. Derleth was charged with aggravated kidnapping and child abduction. He was also charged with allegedly violating a protective order, filed before the alleged abduction, which barred him from having contact with Katherine.

1. A 13 year old girl with a 2 week old son? Please tell me the infant's father is not the stepfather.

This story is horrific.

2. Yes, it's horrific.

The story implies that her stepdad is indeed the father of the infant. The sick bastard needs to be locked up for the rest of his life if that's true.
