Missing boy found, suspect caught

ATLANTA, Georgia - An 11-year-old boy was found safe and sound and authorities have arrested the convicted sex offender that apparently kidnapped him. Frederick Fretz, 42, picked up Adam Kirkirt at school on a January afternoon but never brought him home. Police received a tip that the pair was spotted buying groceries at a gas station near a main highway and when they investigated, the two were seen in the woods. Kirkirk ran toward officers and Fretz escaped in the woods after a pursuit with officers. He was located and arrested without incident two days later. Fretz had been living with Kirkirk and his father, Ivert Kirkirt. The two men spent time in prison together but Ivert Kirkirt was not aware his friend was doing time for molesting an 11-year-old boy in 1991. During the three-day search for the boy, which triggered an Amber Alert, Ivert Kirkirt said police questioned him for nine hours. They told him he failed a polygraph test he had taken and accused him of conspiring to kidnap his own son.
