HI EVERYONE, I HAVE BEEN TALKING TO CHRIS'S FAMILY AND I FEEL AT THIS POINT THAT CHRIS HAD NOTHING TO DO WITH SAM'S ABDUCTION. PLEASE DON'T BE MEAN TO CHRIS OR HIS FAMILY. I HAVEN'T HEARD DIRECTLY FROM CHRIS YET, BUT THE FAMILY I HAVE TALKED TO ARE NICE, THOUGHTFUL, AND INTELLIGENT. I DON'T BELIEVE THAT THEY PRODUCED A SON (CHRIS) THAT WOULD COMMIT AN ABDUCTION. APD AND FBI WILL APPREHEND SAM'S ABDUCTOR. IN THE MEANTIME, PLEASE REFRAIN FROM HURTING OR POINTING FINGERS AT CHRIS, BECAUSE HE HAS FAMILY THAT ARE INNOCENT AND THEY WILL BE HURT IF ANYONE HURTS CHRIS. THANK YOU. Father: Abducted Alaska barista was scared of man ANCHORAGE, Alaska A barista abducted from a coffee shack that sits near one of Anchorage's busiest intersections had filed for a restraining order against a man, but had been too scared to show up for the court hearing, her father said Monday. James Koenig Jr. said his daughter hadn't known the man for very long before she sought the restraining order in November. He said he didn't know if the man was still in Anchorage. Detectives were releasing scant details about their investigation into the disappearance of 18-year-old Samantha Koenig. A surveillance camera at the turquoise blue coffee stand in mid-town Anchorage showed a man forcing her to leave the shack on foot at about 8 p.m. Wednesday. Police still don't know if the abduction was random or if the man wearing the dark, hooded sweatshirt knew her. "Our experience is usually these people are targeted in this type of situation," Anchorage Police Department spokesman Lt. Dave Parker said. Detectives were aware of Koenig's attempt to obtain the restraining order, he said. Robberies at Anchorage's dozens of coffee shacks do occur, Parker said. But he couldn't remember another case where someone was abducted from an espresso stand, where mostly young women work alone preparing coffee beverages. Koenig said he didn't want his daughter to work at the coffee stand, but she wanted a job. He wanted her to pursue a career in nursing, something she had talked about, he said. She also talked about becoming a veterinarian. Koenig issued a call Monday for volunteers to go door-to-door with fliers. Twenty-thousand fliers have been handed out so far and more are being printed up daily, he said. "If you have time and you have compassion, you can help. Just come down to the Common Grounds Espresso ... and grab some fliers," Koenig said. The fliers feature two photos of the woman and the word "kidnapped" in large, red letters on top. A $41,000 reward is being offered and a Facebook account has been set up at Facebook.com/help.find.samantha. Michelle Duncan, owner of Common Grounds Espresso, is handling out fliers with each order of coffee. "Samantha works for us. She's a very lively, bubbly, beautiful 18-year-old woman," Duncan said. "We just want to keep Samantha's face out there," she said. Anchorage Police Department missing Anchorage, Alaska, barista, Samantha Koenig, 18, is pictured. Police say there's little doubt Koenig was abducted after she closed up a coffee stand Wednesday night. Surveillance tapes from that night show a man wearing a hooded sweat shirt and possibly a baseball cap approaching the Common Grounds Espresso stand in midtown Anchorage, Alaska. The tapes then show Koenig leaving with the man, who was apparently armed, and walking toward the Old Seward Highway. Video of Samantha Koenig and Abductor MUST BE RELEASED
