Man Convicted in Abduction Case Living on Kent Island
posted 5:08 pm Mon September 10, 2007 - STEVENSVILLE, Md.
A former Columbia resident who served ten years behind bars for an attempted kidnapping at Shenandoah National Park is out of prison and living with his mother on Kent Island. The arrival of 39-year-old Darrell Rice has created an outcry from his new neighbors. Queen Anne's County Commissioner Gene Ransom says he has been bombarded with calls and e-mails.
Rice remains on supervised probation and must wear an ankle bracelet that will monitor his travels for three years. However, the Queen Anne's County Sheriff's Office can't say for certain that Rice is not a threat.
Rice was also a suspect in a brutal double slaying of two hikers in the same park the year before the attempted abduction. The charges were dropped in 2004 when federal prosecutors said they had new evidence that could cast doubt on the case.

I would also be very concerned if this person was allowed to live in my neighborhood. Could he not have been put in a halfway house for an extended period of time before being placed with his mother. I feel so sorry for his mother
