Kidnapped

All weekend long you've been hearing the story of Shawn Hornbeck, a 15-year-old teen that was kidnapped off his bike four years ago and found last week after authorities tracked down a second victim. Turns out that if anyone affiliated with the search was an Xbox Live Gamer, they may of been able to find Shawn over a year ago as he had a public profile on the Xbox Live community site, GamerTagPics.com, which included a picture of himself outside of the apartment complex he was being held up in.

The page was created on September 4, 2005 and checking his past GamerTag history (DevilDevlin, btw), he was playing an Xbox 360 as recently as the day of his rescue. (Samurai Warriors 2? Ick.)
