It took a few days for the horrific news to make its way to major outlets but on Thursday, CBS was the only broadcast network to inform its viewers of a nationwide manhunt for a group of men accused of kidnapping and raping two teenage girls. Authorities captured two of the men involved and believed they were in the U.S. illegally.
“And there is breaking news in the nationwide manhunt for three men suspected of kidnapping and raping two teenage sisters in northern Ohio. One the suspects was captured today, nearly 1300 miles away in Lubbock, Texas,” announced anchor Bianna Golodryga on CBS Evening News before handing the report off to Jericka Duncan.
As Duncan began her report, she noted that David Ramos Contreras, a suspect in the case, was arrested in Texas. She later explained he found hiding under a bed.

“Investigators believe the men are in the U.S. illegally,” Duncan added. “U.S. Marshals and ICE agents have joined local police in the manhunt. The suspects allegedly kidnapped and raped the girls last Thursday.”
