Lindsey removed from her home by authorities

CASSOPOLIS (NEWS 3) - With a harrowing three-week ordeal behind them, the family of Lindsey Ryan says it's time to heal.

The 14-year-old Cass County girl was at the center of a nationwide search for more than three weeks. Police say she was traveling with convicted killer 56-year-old Terry Drake.

The two were found Monday in California. On Tuesday, Lindsey and her mother flew back home.

The girl's parents met with reporters Thursday in Cassopolis. They took no questions, saying they won't answer them until after Drake's trial - if there is one.

Carol Ryan thanked all those involved in helping bring her daughter back home. The girl's father, Patrick Ryan, said many challenges remain ahead. "Right now there is healing," he said. "There is healing for Lindsey. There is healing for our family. There is healing for our church. Those things are in front."
Drake has been indicted for transporting a minor across state lines with intent to have sex and faces 15 years in prison. He will be extradited back to Michigan.

SACRAMENTO (NEWS 3) - Alleged kidnapper Terry Drake is heading back to Michigan to face charges after three weeks on the run.

Escorted by FBI agents, Drake arrived in Sacramento Wednesday wearing handcuffs and a prison jumpsuit. He's been indicted for transporting a minor across state lines with intent to have sex and faces 15 years in prison.

The 56-year-old sparked an Amber Alert when he disappeared with Cass County teen Lindsey Ryan. Authorities say Drake will not fight extradition.
