Back story: Wednesday morning a girl is waiting at end of her driveway for the school bus and a white ford escape pulls up to her. A woman in the escape tells her she had spoken to the bus driver, that the bus driver told her that he had left the girl (she missed the bus) and she was to pick up the girl. Fortunately she didn't get in the car, the bus arrived during this exchange, and the lady in the ford escape drove off. Nobody recognizes the car or the lady. We fear it was an abduction attempt. This happened near Corpus Christi in the Calallen area. Attached a link the school has sent out and the best photo of the car with blurry license plate. Any chance we can get info on the car to hopefully learn more about what this lady's intentions were?

Sorry OP, but nobody is gonna be able to decipher much from that pic.
No doubt it was an abduction attempt so It was probably a stolen plate anyway.
Or some crazy lady off her meds.
Either way, I hope she's located quickly.

Could a database use the make model year color location and a handicap registration to narrow it down to a handful of cars?

This is actually a good use for AI, as it might be able to use all official letter shapes on plates and calculate a probability of what each is and cross reference that with vehicle registration info for make, model, and location.

How do we not have better camera image quality in 2025? Whenever I have needed footage for something important, it is never adequate. Not yelling at the OP, just a general musing of mine.


My Cell phone:


Can someone help me identify this guy that stole my amazon package?

Because it costs money not only to capture higher quality video but to also store it.

I appreciate the concern, obviously we're very alarmed. I'll follow up if we locate any more information or a better picture. Law enforcement responded but I think it's a dead end until someone has another picture or spots the car. Thanks.

Id canvas the neighborhood for other cameras that could have possibly got better looks. Also trace all probable in and out routes into the neighborhood for other possible sources. I personally wouldn't stop knocking on doors until I exhausted all opportunities.

Yep, definitely look for more footage

It looks like there is also a handicapped tag in the vehicle. Does that provide a way to narrow the pool?
