Detectives from the Fairfax County Police Department (FCPD) have concluded that a report about an attempted abduction of a Belle View Elementary School student on Tuesday, Jan. 21, 2020, was false.
The department’s Major Crimes Bureau has been investigating allegations that a juvenile fought off a “white, male” abductor along the sidewalk of Fort Hunt Road in the Belle Haven area between 4:15 and 5 p.m.
But on Thursday, Jan. 23, after an “extensive investigation,” the detectives determined that the abduction reported by the elementary school student was a false report.
The original report issued on Jan. 22 had stated: “The student fought the man off and the suspect ran from the area. The student returned to the school and notified administrators who immediately called police. The suspect was described as a white man in his 40s, approximately 5 feet 11 inches, medium build, with short brown hair. He had a trimmed grey beard and red bumps on his face. At the time of the incident, he was wearing a brown hooded jacket, loose blue jeans and boots.”
Here is what FCPD is now saying about that report: “Late today, after an extensive several day investigation detectives have determined the event did not occur.”
Despite the report later being found to be false, police thanked media outlets and community for reporting on what could have been a very serious criminal incident.
The Major Crimes Bureau sought video footage of the incident and had asked that residents along the Fort Hunt Road area review their home security cameras for any images of the alleged suspect.

“Although this is now deemed to be a false report, detectives would like to thank the community and multiple media outlets who helped share what was reported to the police department,” FCPD stated.
