最新报道:Amidst the money bags and joker emojis, lmfaos and loooools, a pixelated thumbnail of a bloodied teenager appeared in a Telegram group chat one afternoon in September 2022. Noah Urban, then 18, of Palm Coast, Florida, clicked play. He saw the child in the video pleading with him to wire $200,000 to his kidnapper, who was holding a gun to his head. "Elijah, seriously, man, you know we used to work together," the boy said, calling Noah by one of his aliases. His face was swollen, his mouth full of blood, which dripped onto a white Hollister sweatshirt. "You know I got your back. Just tell me. I'll do whatever you want."
