5-Year-Old Ethan Will Remember Trauma of Kidnapping
February 5, 2013
(2 pg. article)
The 5-year-old named Ethan who was held in an underground bunker for a week in Alabama after his captor pulled the boy from a school bus and killed the driver, will likely remember the trauma.
"Will this child remember this? The answer is absolutely," said Rahil Briggs, a psychologist and director of the Healthy Steps program at Children's Hospital at Montefiore Medical Center in New York City. "We know across the board that memories attached to a highly emotional situation seem to have the most staying power in our minds. It will have quite an impact." Briggs has not seen or treated the child.
Ethan was rescued physically unharmed in an FBI raid of the underground bunker near Midland, Ala., on Tuesday, where he was being held hostage by 65-year-old Jimmy Lee Dykes, who was killed in the raid.
The boy's great uncle, Berlin Enfinger, told Good Morning America today that Ethan was "happy to be home" and was already playing with his toy dinosaurs. The boy turns 6 on Wednesday.
::snipping2::
Ethan was still unable to tell his parents what transpired during the week he was held captive, according to Debra Cook, who with the rest of the family calls her great nephew, "little buddy."
Neighbors reported that Ethan may have Asperger's syndrome, which is on the autism spectrum. But that would have had little bearing on how the boy coped with his captivity, according to experts.
"My guess is that it was not a major feature," said Kenneth Dodge, a clinical psychologist and professor of public policy at Duke University. "Any 5- or 6-year-old going through this kind of experience -- let alone an adult -- would be traumatized."

Rescued Alabama Hostage Ethan Celebrated Birthday With SWAT Team, FBI Agents
February 8, 2012
s a beaming 6-year-old Ethan said "cheese" for photos and played with toy cars at his birthday party, there were no immediate signs of the turmoil the young boy had endured just days earlier.
The boy, identified only as Ethan, was held hostage in a nearly week-long standoff in Alabama. He was physically unharmed after Jimmy Lee Dykes kidnapped him from a school bus and held him hostage in a booby-trapped underground bunker.
Ethan was rescued by the FBI Monday after they rushed the bunker where Dykes, 65, was holding him. Dykes was killed in the raid.
On Wednesday, Ethan celebrated his sixth birthday at a local church with abundant hugs from his family and friends as well as from the SWAT team, FBI agents and hostage negotiators who had rescued him.

Alabama Hostage Bunker Destroyed: Jimmy Lee Dykes' Shelter Demolished By Authorities
February 26, 2013
MIDLAND CITY, Ala. -- Officials have demolished the underground bunker where a boy was held hostage for six days in southeast Alabama.
Dale County District Attorney Kirke Adams said Tuesday that authorities dismantled Jimmy Lee Dykes' shelter after it was no longer needed by investigators.
The shelter was located on the edge of Dyke's 1.5-acre lot in rural Midland City. Adams says it posed a biological risk. FBI agents shot and killed Dykes inside to end the standoff earlier this month.
Adams says the bunker wasn't difficult to remove since it was mostly made of wood. It was roughly the size of a large walk-in closet.

FBI: Agents fell to deaths training off Va. coast
May 20, 2013
NORFOLK, Va. (AP) — Two FBI agents who died while training off the Virginia Beach coast fell to their deaths when a helicopter had trouble during a "maritime counterterrorism exercise," an agency spokeswoman said Monday night.
Special Agents Christopher Lorek and Stephen Shaw were killed in the incident Friday. Both were members of the bureau's elite hostage rescue team, a group known most recently for rescuing an Alabama boy from a kidnapper in an underground bunker.
"The FBI agents were participating in a maritime counterterrorism exercise involving helicopters and a ship," Special Agent Ann Todd, an FBI spokeswoman, wrote in an email Monday night. "The agents were in the process of fast-roping from the aircraft onto the ship when the helicopter encountered difficulties. The agents tragically fell a significant distance and suffered fatal injuries."

Exclusive: How Cops Saved Boy From Underground Bunker
By PIERRE THOMAS, JACK DATE and JACK CLOHERTY | Good Morning America – 7 hours ago

Now, the details of Ethan's rescue can be revealed for the first time.
ABC News has obtained exclusive access to the audio recordings of Ethan's kidnapping, the resulting six-day standoff at the bunker, and the child's dramatic rescue by an FBI hostage and rescue team. ABC News has spoken exclusively with key members of that team -- federal, state and local authorities whose courage and determination saved Ethan's life.
See More "Saving Ethan" on "World News with Diane Sawyer" and "20/20" TONIGHT
It is a story of heroes, and it began on a warm Alabama afternoon late last January, when a man named Jimmy Lee Dykes boarded Ethan's school bus waving a gun and demanding children. A camera on the bus recorded the moment. The voice is raspy, desperate, and chilling:
"I need two boys six to eight years old," Dykes barked. "Six to eight years old. I mean it. Right now! Right now!"
The bus driver, Charles Poland, knew Dykes, and resisted his demands.
"I can't do it," Poland told Dykes.
"Do it!" Dykes screamed.
Poland replied calmly and simply, "No."
With a gun staring him in the face, Poland said, "Sorry, you're going to have to shoot me."
"How about I shoot a kid then," Dykes said.
"No. It's my responsibility to keep these kids on the bus. I can't turn them over to somebody else," Poland said.
Crouching behind a bus seat, 15-year-old Tre' Watts called 911. He told the dispatcher there was a man on the bus.
"He's got a gun," Watts told her, "and he keeps asking for kids."
Startled, the dispatcher said, "He's aiming the gun at the bus driver?!"

Boy held in Ala bunker drama reported well
Posted January 24, 2014, Updated January 25, 2014
MONTGOMERY, Ala. (AP) — The 6-year-old Alabama boy held hostage in an underground bunker last year is reportedly doing well and showing few effects from the ordeal.
Camren Kirkland is Ethan Gilman's older brother. He spoke with reporters in Montgomery on Friday as the one-year anniversary of the standoff approaches.
Kirkland says Ethan has only spoken of the ordeal a few times since, and he isn't showing signs of lingering problems or stress.
Kirkland also says his brother is doing better in school now than he was before. A man identified as Jimmy Lee Dykes held Ethan hostage for six days last January after killing the boy's school bus driver and dragging Ethan into the bunker.
Officers rescued the child unharmed after storming the bunker and killing Dykes.
