Updated— The Vallejo Police Department has concluded the extensive investigation of the alleged kidnapping of a 10 year old child from the 1500 block of Lorenzo Drive. The incident was reported on May 15th 2015. Detectives were initially unable to substantiate any of the claims and ultimately concluded that the entire incident was fabricated by the child.
The child indicated that she made up the entire story after receiving a reprimand at school for misbehavior and did so out of fear of facing potential discipline from her parents.
