RENO, NV (AP) ? Police rescued a 17-year-old Henderson girl early Saturday morning to end her 21-hour kidnapping ordeal, and arrested her two alleged abductors.

Investigators tracked Melissa Duran and the suspects to a Las Vegas apartment complex, where she was found bound and blindfolded in a unit about 4:30 a.m., Henderson Police Chief Patrick Moers said. She was scared but not physically harmed.

Alejandro Sanchez-Sanchez, 25, and Cesar Sanchez, 30, both of Las Vegas, were arrested on charges of kidnapping and extortion after being found in other units, Moers said. They remain without bail in the Henderson jail and await an initial court appearance Tuesday.

They're accused of knocking on the door of the family home around 7:30 a.m. Friday and grabbing Duran when she answered. Police said her parents later received two calls demanding money for her safe return.

Investigators said they believe the suspects had some kind of connection to her father's landscaping business, and the possible tie is under investigation.

I'm very surprised they didn't rape her.

Sounds like they were in it for the money. Rapists are a special (sick) bunch... not necessarily your average kidnapper.

Rape doesn't jump into every abductors mind like that.
