i see the paw prints on the side. he saw one of the boys playing on the deck. he spoke only briefly with hakin and his wife before cuban authorities escorted him from the dock. in tampa police had known they were dealing with a man who could pull this off. we ve said all along, you know, making irrational decisions doesn t always make you unintelligent. we know he is a very intelligent individual. he is an engineer. last wednesday the family pickup truck was found in maderea beach not far from st. petersburg. surveillance video showed hakin and his wife sharon at a dock preparing a sail boat. that same day authorities say hakin kidnapped his children, chase and cole, from the maternal grandparents home. patricia howser called 911. 911, what is your emergency? i can t think. my, my son-in-law just kidnapped my two grandchildren. they ve been in my state
