Five-year-old Jocelyn Rojas was
playing in her front yard in Lancaster, Pennsylvania, when she vanished Thursday
afternoon. Authorities believe she was abducted by a man who lured her by
offering ice cream.
For two hours, neighbors and
police scoured the area and asked if anyone had seen her.
Temar Boggs, 15, and his friend
took off on their bicycles to search.
About a half-mile away, they
spotted Jocelyn in a sedan. But the driver was elusive.
"Every time we'd go down the
street, he'd turn back around, and then ... we'll follow him," Temar told CNN affiliate WGAL.
The two teens chased the alleged
kidnapper on their bikes for 15 heart-pounding minutes. The driver apparently
knew he was being followed and gave up.
"He stopped at the end of the
hill and let her out, and she ran to me and said that she needed her mom," Temar
said.
Jocelyn's relatives and neighbors
took turns hugging Temar.
"He's our hero. There is just no
words to say," Jocelyn's grandmother Tracey Clay said.
Police are looking for the
suspect, described as a white male between 50 and 70 years old. He was driving a
reddish-purple or maroon car with round taillights, WGAL reported. The man was
wearing green shoes, green pants and a red-and-white striped shirt. He walked
with a limp.
Although the suspect remains at
large, Temar feels good about finding Jocelyn.
"I just feel like I did
something very accomplishing today," the teen said.
The girl's family couldn't agree
more.
