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. original title: Christopher Bird AKA Whyte Tyson AKA Whytee Tytee?

In an interview Tuesday, police said the alarmed reaction by Samantha Koenig, 18, to a man who approached the Midtown coffee hut where she was working indicates the abductor was carrying a weapon. Police continued to reveal little else about a video or collection of videos that captured the apparent abduction. Authorities have refused to make the clips or still photos from them public, saying doing so would compromise the investigation and would not reveal enough to help people identify the abductor. Lt. Michelle Bucher, who leads the unit in charge of the investigation, defended the decision Tuesday. "Believe me, I understand how concerned her family is. How concerned the public is about this," Bucher said. "But we also have to be concerned about the integrity of the investigation. And if we felt that the video showed enough information ... If we felt that we could gain more, in terms of getting Samantha back right now, we would be releasing (it). We would have released it by now." Anchorage police have asked for the FBI's help in solving the disappearance, a department spokesman said on Tuesday. Hundreds of volunteers, a private investigator -- even psychics -- are now involved in the hunt. Police say an armed man kidnapped Koenig last Wednesday evening from her workplace. Detectives say surveillance video from multiple cameras shows the man, wearing a dark, hooded sweatshirt, walk up to the Common Grounds coffee shack in the parking lot of the Alaska Club at 630 E. Tudor Road. The footage is too dark to tell what color hoodie the man wore, police said. It was just before 8 p.m., near closing time. The taller man somehow entered the coffee stand and forced the 5-foot-5, 140-pound Koenig to leave with him. The video shows the pair walk out of frame, headed west, police say. Earlier police reports that they walked east were incorrect, police spokesman Lt. Dave Parker said Tuesday, adding there was no getaway vehicle seen in the video. Koenig's boyfriend says he arrived later to pick her up after getting delayed at work. When he arrived, Koenig was gone. Her boss said cash was missing from the stand, and though Koenig -- who had been working there less than a month -- seemed to have locked up as usual, the stand was messy. There were coffee drinks left out on the counter and the security alarm was not set, according to another barista and the stand's owner. The next day, about noon, Common Grounds notified police that Koenig was missing and that nobody -- not her family, her friends nor her co-workers -- had heard from her. Officers met Koenig's father, James Koenig, at the stand. It wasn't until another 24 hours, once detectives were able to watch the surveillance video, that Koenig's disappearance was upgraded from a "suspicious missing person" case to an abduction, Parker said. In the meantime, the coffee hut remained open for business, with vehicles and people passing through the crime scene. More than a foot of snow fell on Anchorage on Friday, likely obscuring any footprints, the same day police determined the case was an abduction. And now, a week since Koenig walked out of the cameras' view, no one has reported seeing her. Police have made no arrests, named any suspects or publicly identified any persons of interest in the case. That includes a man Koenig named in a protective order application three months ago, Parker said. The man, Christopher Bird, was not charged with a crime after the November incident and is not considered a suspect in Koenig's disappearance, Parker said. While police have not cleared Bird as a potential suspect in the abduction, it doesn't do any good to accuse him if he's not involved, Parker said. "This is not a one-hour, TV cop drama. This is real life. And it takes time to work through these things," Parker said. Police are not saying if they think the abductor was a stranger or someone Koenig knew.
