Brothers Accused in Teen Kidnapping | Phoenix News

Two brothers, Manuel and Patrick Sanchez, face felony charges after allegedly kidnapping and holding a 13-year-old girl captive in Arizona for days — a case that reignited trauma for the family of a 1993 victim who was also 13 when Manuel sexually assaulted her. Found safe after a statewide Turquoise Alert, the current girl is unharmed, but the brothers now face serious accusations including kidnapping and child molestation. Manuel, a registered sex offender convicted in 1996, is being pushed by the earlier victim’s family to remain jailed without bond, while both brothers are set with steep cash bonds — $1 million for Manuel, $500K for Patrick — ahead of their next court appearance next month. Authorities continue investigating, as the community breathes a sigh of relief — but the legal battle looms large, centered on Manuel’s dangerous history.
