GREENSBORO, N.C. (AP) — A North Carolina mother says she’s thankful to the good Samaritan who stopped a man trying to kidnap her daughter.
Timothy Jon Fry, 55, tried to grab the 8-year-old girl as she came out of a restaurant’s bathroom Dec. 27, Greensboro police spokesman Ron Glenn told news outlets Sunday.
The girl’s mother, Heather Owens, told WFMY-TV she had suspicions about Fry from the moment she and her daughter sat down.
“I had already noticed a man sitting at the table adjacent to us,” Owens said. “He kinda gave me a little uneasy feeling and I was just like I’ll keep an eye out on him.”
Another man also had the same suspicions, Owens said.
