Young girls found after alleged abduction by man they met on Roblox

A Nebraska man faces kidnapping charges after driving over 1,000 miles to pick up two Florida sisters he groomed online via Roblox and Snapchat, police said.

  • On Feb. 1, the two sisters, ages 12 and 15, were found in Lowndes County, Georgia, after a traffic stop; suspect Hser Mu Lah Say was arrested and charged with kidnapping and custody interference.
  • Martin County Sheriff John Budensiek said contact began on Roblox and later shifted to Snapchat, with family noticing food gifts as part of grooming, investigators say.
  • After using the family tablet to communicate, the girls left with the suspect on Saturday night, and police say he left Omaha, Nebraska on Friday, driving nearly 24 hours to Indiantown, Martin County, Florida.
  • The girls' parents confiscated their phones after they left without permission, police inspected devices and Snapchat communications following a family tip, and Roblox pledged support for investigations.
  • Roblox has faced scrutiny, and Sheriff Budensiek warned `I know these girls went willingly, but their age suggested that they had been taken and were probably being removed from our area`.
