The Skiing Scandle

I am telling this story from the depths of the mountains. A group of skiers long ago were up in Utah. They were just on vacation and wanted a getaway from their lives. But I don't think anyone could have foreseen what would eventually happen.

It was a nice day just before their spring break and the Johnson family was staying in a condo. The weather was looking great for the whole week and they already skied a day. But it would be the second day that things would take a turn for the worst.

The family woke up and immediately went to the slopes. They wanted to go down the first hill as a family. It was all smooth sailing until lunch. They had sandwiches and some soda. But, the two kids went on their own after lunch.

After lunch, the two kids got stuck on the lift with a very suspicious stranger. He looked very ruff and he kept inviting them to a mountain that not a lot of people knew. So the kids were interested and they went. Little did they know he was leading them into a trap. He was wanted for kidnapping in Utah and had never been caught. He gave them snacks which made them pass out.

When the kids woke up they were in a very small and old shack. They were tied to chairs and couldn’t move. The two kids were horrified and were there even until dark. The parents were worried when they didn't come back so they called the police and there was a manhunt. The police had an idea of who was the kidnapper just because he has been doing it for many years.

The kidnapper left and he went skiing as normal. He came back with food but he says one of the kids had almost wiggled free from the chair. So he tied him with double the ropes.

Another night had passed well as ever for the kidnapper. He didn’t stay at the shack but went to his house so if the kids were found he would be fine. And when he went one was gone. He didn’t know why the girl didn’t help her brother.

So he took the brother and killed him. He burnt the shed so not any evidence would be noticed.

That is all of the stories anybody knows the rest is unknown. And it is known that nobody but one person knows the kidnapper. And that one person is me. Barry Springer wanted for 50 cases of kidnappings in the mountains across the United States.
