SOUNDBITE: Neighbor Lakeitha Smith saying:

"I just seems like they were pretty nice people like regular neighbors. You know, I didn't think that any strange activity was going on, you know, they was holding someone hostage next door to my house. I have a son, a three year old son, you know, that's kind of scary."

The girl, a native of St. Louis, Missouri is believed to be between 15 and 19 years old, was reported missing missing in April 2010.
