Thank God, the girls are fine. The chase ended on Ringgold Road in East Ridge, TN (not far over the Tenn/Ga line and not far from where I live). They took the girls to TC Thompson Children's Hospital in Chattanooga, one had a possible back injury from the crash, but otherwise all were fine- I saw local footage of them arriving at the hospital last night and one little girl (either Tammy or Brandy) was smiling from ear to ear......that makes me feel so much better.

They say he is in critical condition (probably at Erlanger Hospital)- I hope he survives so he can face justice for the horrific things he did. They have been interviewing Melissa Peeler's sister and bro-in-law, Kathy & David O'Donnell, on local TV. Poor Kathy- she has lost her parents, sister, and baby neice in this tragedy.

This is a success story for the AMBER ALERT system- a motorist is the one who spotted him and notified police. The AMBER ALERT has been used 10 times now in Georgia since it's induction, and all 10 times there have been live recoveries of the kidnapped children!
