He w'as wearing a black baseball cap w'hen he grabbed Carrie, slaoned a hand across her mouth and sped off in a car waiting in front of her home.“He was only a few feet away. I ran after him.... I started screaming, hoping somebody would go after the car,” she remembered six hours after her sister had been snatched out of her hand.Tammy had just gotten off a city bus in front of her home.She was holding one sister, 6-month-old Harley, under one arm. Blonde-haired, blue-eyed Carrie, wearing a blue hooded-snow' suit and purple pants, held Tammy's hand.“I heard this guy running up be-hind.me and then suddenly he's got Carrie,” Tammy recalled six hours after the incident. “I yelled, ‘He’s got Carrie.

They soon found Capucilli had the missing girl with him, police said.“She was there complete with snowsuit and jogging pants.” Carr said. “We're satisfied that she’s writh her father and in good health.“Airport officials had no authority to hold him and had no choice but to let him board the plane.” Carr said.Police do not believe Robert Ca-puc;!:: was in the car when the girlwas abductedThe abduction was dramatic and swift.Tammy said the kidnappers’ car was behind the bus on the south side of Genesee Street when the girls got off. She noticed the cranberry color as she w'aited to cross the street.As the girls crossed, the car pulled around the corner onto Maple Street. Tammy said. The driver was waiting behind the wheel.

The door was shutting on his foot.Tammy grabbed a short, magnetic CB antenna stuck to the trunk. Wires pulled out of the trunk as the car sped away. The antenna cut Tammy’s hand.

She didn't sret a ^ood *ook at the driver.Police are “very interested in finding out” who actually abducted the girl, police spokesman Carr said.“We have no idea at this time who the abductors are,” Carr said.About 150,000 children are abducted each vear in the United States, and about two-thirds of them are taken by a parent, a spokesman for Central New York Child Find recently said.Assistant DA Lyons said anyone could be held in principle in connection with the kidnapping if there were a finding of wrongful intent.He said that if the methods used were determined to have put someone in danger of their health, a charge could be lodged in a case of this kind.
