Police believe man
look 9-month-old
at friend’s request
10USTON (AP) — Police believe
a mentally retarded man abducted a
l-month-old boy from a day-care
center after his girlfriend convinced
him the child was theirs.
The baby, Joshua Trent Letke,
“Sti was returned to his parents late Fri-
’ (it day night several hours after he was
aken from the day-care center.
A 15-year-old girl was in the cus
tody of the Harris County juvenile
luthorities Saturday, while her 21-
igM year-old boyfriend was returned to
e cul ns mother, Houston police Sgt.
|ohn Donovan said.
Houston police spokesman Dan
furner said the boyfriend is men-
ally retarded and could be easily en-
itorll ouraged to be a part of a criminal
pisocie.
No charges have been filed and
he case has been referred to a Har
is County grand jury,**.
During the past months, Donovan
said the girl had been talking to her
boyfriend about running away to
Mexico and starting a family. The
girl lives with her grandparents and
the boyfriend lives with his mother.
“She wanted to get away from her
grandparents and she wanted to live
like a family would, with a baby and
a husband,” Donovan said.
Donovan said the teen-age girl
told her boyfriend she had given
birth to his child on Sept. 4, gave
him up for adoption and now
wanted him to retrieve the infant.
The abduction occurred when a
man who walked into the center
asking to use the phone snatched
Joshua after the owner left the room
briefly, police said..
The couple took a baby to the
boyfriend’s mother’s house, but the
mother became suspicious and
called police.
June Scobee
will view launch
on television
HOUSTON (AP) —June Scobee
says she will watch the liftoff of Dis
covery on television because her
presence at the launch site would
just remind everyone of the shuttle
disaster that killed her husband and
six other crew members.
Scobee has not been back to Cape
Canaveral, Fla., since that chilly
morning of Jan. 28, 1986, when the
Challenger exploded 73 seconds af
ter launch.
Now Scobee, whose husband,
Dick, commanded the ill-fated ship,
said that like any other American cit
izen she is eager for a successful Dis
covery mission to get NASA’s
manned spaceflight program back
on track.
“NASA needs to focus on the
launch facility, on the crew and their
families,” she said in a recent tele
phone interview. “For me to be there
would just remind everyone of that
tragedy. And it would be difficult
for me too.”
None of the other Challenger
families will attend Thursday’s
launch from the Kennedy Space
Center, and some have not even de
cided whether they will watch it on
TV.
Scobee said the Challenger tra
gedy changed forever the way
NASA goes about its business.
“I really think they’re launching a
new era,” she said. “There’s a new
awareness of how vulnerable we are.
There certainly is an awareness of
the risks of space flight.”
Since the accident, the Challenger
families have avoided discussions
about their personal grief. Instead,
they have focused their efforts on es
tablishing a memorial to their lost
loved ones.
Those efforts were rewarded this
August with the opening of the first
Challenger Center for Space Science
Education in Houston — a place
where children can learn about
space.
The center, at Houston’s Museum
of Natural Sciences, gives students
an opportunity to make a simulated
spaceflight complete with a mission
control center and scientific experi
ments.
It was paid for with a $150,000
grant and will serve as a prototype
for other small facilities associated
with schools and museums.
