No arrests made in kidnapping

INDEPENDENCE — Police and the FBI continued efforts Wednesday to find out what happened to a high school girl who showed up unharmed at a stranger's home more than 15 hours after reporting she had been kidnapped.
There are no suspects and no arrests have been made in the case. At a news conference Wednesday morning, Independence Police Chief Lee Bynum released the transcript of a 911 call that Kelsey Lynn Stelting, 16, made Tuesday morning, shortly after she disappeared from outside her home.
When the dispatcher asked what emergency she was reporting, Stelting responded: "I
have been kidnapped. I have been taken from in front of my house."
"I'm in a white van," she said. "I don't know which way I'm going. I can't see out."
Bynum said police believe Stelting was confronted by an armed man who ordered her to run about six blocks to a lumber yard, following her on foot, then forced her into the van.
In the 911 call, Stetling said: "I was told — he put a gun to my head, and he told me to run or he would shoot me and my family."
When the dispatcher asked if she knew the man, Stetling said: "I didn't see him. He came up behind me."
dence. He said the girl's cell phone had been taken from her, and neither it nor the van she said she was abducted in had been found.
Bynum said the 911 call was traced to a cell phone tower south and west of Independ-
On Tuesday night, Bynum said Kelsey walked up to a home in Independence just before 10 p.m.
"She's in good physical condition," he said. "She appears to be fine."
The teen was taken to police headquarters and to a hospital before being returned home.
As news that Stelting was found unharmed spread, friends and family members hugged and jumped up and down.
"For a split second you are overjoyed," said Lisa Wilson, her aunt. "And then fear sets in until they said the words, 'She's OK.'"
