9-year-old girl escapes kidnapping at Flat Lick

Was able to kick and pull away from her attacker

By Carl Keith Greene / Staff Writer

A nine-year-old girl was able to save herself from a possible kidnapping Monday evening on Evergreen Road at Flat Lick.

According to Walt Meacham, public affairs officer at the Kentucky State Police Harlan Post, the girl reportedly “was able to kick and pull away” from her attacker.

He reported that the girl was walking home from a friend’s house shortly before 6 p.m. when a man in a white utility-type van with brown trim and peeling paint pulled up next to her.

The man reportedly tried to force her into the van.

When she had freed herself, Meacham said, the girl ran to a nearby home for help.

The unidentified white man was described as being about six feet tall, wearing a dark green T-shirt, blue jeans and brown work boots.

During the attempted abduction, he was reportedly wearing a ski mask.

The Chevrolet van was reported to have double-opening side doors, rather than sliding doors.

Those with information that may assist in the investigation may call the Harlan Kentucky State Police post at 606-573-3131.
