GILES COUNTY, Va. – Giles County authorities say the abduction of a 2-year-old from a church nursery last Sunday was a random act and that the kidnappers did not know the boy.
The Giles County Sheriff’s Office confirms that the woman charged with Noah Trout’s abduction, Nancy Fridley, was a complete stranger to Noah Trout and the Trout family.
Prior to allegedly kidnapping the toddler on Sunday morning from Riverview Baptist Church, Fridley is said to have visited to others churches which are also located in the town of Narrows. The sheriff’s office said she also visited those two churches a month before the alleged kidnapping earlier this week. They believe Fridley had also traveled to other churches outside the area prior to Sunday’s incident.
Accused abductor may have targeted other children in Virginia, sheriff s office says

PEARISBURG â An attempt to recover stolen property ended with a group of people chasing a homeowner out of his residence and shooting him as he ran, a Giles County prosecutor said Tuesday.
William Dee Martin, 44, of Newport, was in the countyâs General District Court to ask for bail â a request that was denied after Commonwealthâs Attorney Bobby Lilly said security camera footage showed Martin running after a man, then shooting him with a long gun from about 10 feet away.
The April 20 incident left Calvin Dale Riggs Jr. with a gunshot wound in his leg, Lilly said. It led to the arrests of Martin and another member of the group that confronted him, along with a third person charged with possessing drugs but who also was seeking a stolen item at Riggsâ home, a search warrant said.
