Police say 6-year-old Opal Jennings was abducted while playing in a vacant
lot with two young friends outside her grandmother's home in the 200 block of North
Hampshire Street. Opal lives with her grandmother in Saginaw, a Fort Worth suburb located
in Northwest Tarrant County.
The other children said a man grabbed her and drove away with Opal crying. The missing
girl's grandmother immediately called 911 and police issued an Amber Alert to
broadcasters.
The description of the suspect in the Opal Jennings kidnapping remains
sketchy because the witnesses were so young. Here is what is known:
white male
40-45 years old
wrinkled face
wearing a red ball cap, black pants, black tennis shoes
driving a dark, 4-door, late model sedan, possibly a Mercury
*SAGINAW - Police are releasing more information about Opal’s suspected abductor.
