A 69-year-old Florida man named Young Tom Talmage just got busted in the Philippines for a horrific child abduction back in 1989. Authorities used preserved DNA from the crime scene, combined with genealogical research, to finally pin him as a suspect in a Tampa area case, involving a seven-year-old girl, kidnapped, and sexually abused. Investigators from Hillsboro County Sheriff's Office zeroed in on Talmage after decades of dead ends, getting an arrest warrant in March 20. 25. This DNA genealogy method is blowing up for cracking cold cases that stumped everyone for years. Back then, folks at the bowling alley searched desperately when the girl vanished, and she was luckily spotted at another spot, ending the Nightmare. But the perps stayed hidden for over 35 years. Filipino immigration agents nabbed Talmage at his home in Cavite, more than 9,000 miles from Tampa on 23 April. He's facing charges like sexual battery on a kid
under 12, lewd acts on a child, and felony kidnapping. Now the Philippines is pushing to deport him fast under their shield kids' campaign, making it clear no foreign child predators get safe haven there, and we're waiting on his transfer back to face justice. That's the story for today. Adelaide News Today, driven by AI, I'm Corey with The Story.
