Some of the story is so unbelievable, like the parents never having heard of a pedophile before and the FBI agent claiming it was new to him as well. Even for the time period that's soooooo naive. More than idiotic, the parents are definitely not good it protective parents. For example allowing others to prevent them from reporting their daughter missing for so long. Especially back in the 70s the FBI took child kidnapping extremely serious and usually put everyone on the street to find the child. And the parents more concerned about what the kidnapper might think of them than concern for the safety of their child!
