Kody Kaplon Helped Himself
March 4, 2009 by Jaded
…to a 3-year-old girl.
Kody’s Private Myspace
Yreka, CA–A parent’s worst nightmare became reality for Ryan Collins and his wife, April Smith. At around 4:30 Monday morning, the couple awoke to the sound of their 3-year-old daughter, Francis, screaming. They ran to the child’s room and found her bed empty. The sound of a car starting could be heard…Collins ran outside and saw a man pulling out of the driveway, with Francis in the back seat of his car.
That man was 22-year-old Kody Kaplon. The parents say Kaplon is a family acquaintance and they’ve known him for years. They said he was staying at their apartment after having an argument with his wife. They never believed he could do something like this. After all, he is a parent himself. An Amber Alert was issued.
Kaplon had seen the alert and at about 2:00 p.m Monday, he called Yreka police through the Amber Alert line and asked why they were looking for him. Authorities located him in Hornbook and arrested him on suspicion of kidnapping.
A short time later, in the same general area, a group of friends found Francis walking down a service road about 15 miles out of Yreka. She was wearing nothing but a soaked T-shirt. As they were driving her out, they ran across a California Highway Patrol officer and the child was handed over to him. The girl was taken to Fairchild Medical Center in Yreka for treatment. After the child was treated and interviewed, it was discovered that she had been molested.
Kody Kaplon is now charged with kidnapping, attempted murder, false imprisonment, taking or holding a child without right of custody, willful cruelty to a child, committing a sexual crime against a child, burglary, and violation of probation. He is currently being held in the Siskiyou County Jail on $1 million bail.
CHP says the car Kaplon was driving got stuck in the mountains. He left the little girl alone, to fend for herself. Had she not been found, chances are, she wouldn’t have made it through the night.

Bet he won’t be reconciling with his wife anytime soon. What a sick bastard. The child must have been out of her mind terrified. Thank goodness she was found.
It will be interesting to see his explanation for why he did such a horrible thing. Sounds like he has some mental health issues. Or maybe he really is just an evil baby raping asshole.
9:57 am on March 4th, 2009
Wasn’t there a tape found of him being a piece of shit with a 6 yr old? Or maybe it was of a 2 yr old, and he was wanted on suspicion of kidnapping a 6 yr old? I don’t know, maybe I’ll look it up later

Just chop his dick off and throw him in general population
10:03 am on March 4th, 2009
He looks scary.
His ass would have never made it to my freaking couch.
My grandmother was never real big on letting non-related people stay in the house. And no matter who spent the night, they were assured that my granddaddy was trigger happy.
I think parents need to go oldschool these days. They’re all willy nilly with their trust in a time when people are getting uglier by the day.
10:05 am on March 4th, 2009
I thought the exact same thing! lol I bet she’s scrambling trying to find the right divorce attorney. I hope he had a little bit of change. She better hop on the good foot before he has to spend their life savings on legal fees lol.
10:16 am on March 4th, 2009
What that little girl went through is something that would terrify, scar, and change for the worse a FULLY GROWN ADULT ~ kidnapped, raped, and then abandoned. And she was only THREE YEARS OLD. I can’t even IMAGINE what she went through and is still going through. That poor sweet girl. That FUCKING BASTARD. Castrate him and then lock him up for the rest of his life in a windowless cell with no contact with the outside world except for daily visits from the Big Bob until he does the world a favor and chews through his own wrists.
His eyes look like black holes of evil.
10:18 am on March 4th, 2009
I really want to cut this guy to pieces with rusty razors.
10:20 am on March 4th, 2009
I’m all for all pedo’s systematically having their offending member cut off and serving life in prison…better yet, just kill them. Waste of space and tax payer money.
Sick, sick, bastard. Seriously, I would have cut this bastards dick off myself. No way he’d walk away after kidnapping, violating, abandoning and terrorizing my child and still have it all intact….hell, fuck, no.
Heal sweet one, completely.

thank you for front paging this,jaded. great job.
i’ve been thinking about this story since i read it yesterday, i found it very disturbing even before all of these details were out yet.
it is a miracle that girl lived, there were so many ways that this horrific experience could have become an even greater tragedy. it is amazing she was found so fast in remote dangerous conditions. and not least of all, that fucker’s car breaking down may have saved her life,without that who knows how this would have turned out.
this disgusting waste of life kody? as soon as i first heard about this, i knew he was evil. when he was just charged with kidnapping i had a bad feeling that everything that developed would just keep getting worse. this is the kind of psychopathic evil perverted monster that does nothing but harm.
$1 million dollar bail is not bad, he’s gone for a long time but he should never be released again. i don;t know what all those charges will get him in cali, but he should never be out in public again. it is amazing that this did not end even worse, and i cannot believe he wouldn’t try this again, life sentence, nothing less. at a minimum.
really, fuck this fucking monster. i would shoot this fucking pig myself, i’m sure there’s a long list of people who would be glad to. he needs to not be fucking living anymore.
i hope this fucker never touched his own kid, and i really hope they’re investigating that.
10:33 am on March 4th, 2009
love it when we’re all on the same page
lucky she was found
10:36 am on March 4th, 2009
Well let’s hope his wife would never take this fucking piece of shit back. But she may not have to if they lock his ass up and throw away the key. Oh, I hope this little girl gets some help for the psychological trauma as well as the physical trauma this perverted bastard put her through. I’m so glad that group of friends found her bless them. Here’s hoping he gets his fucking ass kicked in prison. His eyes have this wicked look to them.
10:43 am on March 4th, 2009
noo..ram that hammer up his ass sideways after slamming it down on his genitals…
10:48 am on March 4th, 2009
Interesting, but nothing I researched revealed anything like that. Hook us up with a link if you find something.
10:50 am on March 4th, 2009
did you see his “mood” on his myspace? it says devious…that scares me…did he plan this? was there really a fight with his wife??? these kind of people need the death penalty (the most painful type there is!)
10:53 am on March 4th, 2009
Added a good video to the story.
11:03 am on March 4th, 2009
Scary when you know someone for so long and they do this…
Guess they didn’t know him as well as they thought. Thank the gods she was found alive and in one piece (except for emotions of course).
Someone “up there” was watching over this child.
11:20 am on March 4th, 2009
Thanks, Morbid.
11:38 am on March 4th, 2009
I just watched the video. Wow, what awesome guys, really. Corny, but it really makes me happy to know there are actually good people out there. Fuck, I hate getting all sensitive.
12:15 pm on March 4th, 2009
thank goodness that little girl was found!!!!
Parents if your going to let a friend stay over and you have a small child have that small child sleep in your room! Just b/c you know someone doesnt mean you know their demons is your child worth it? I say we let him go to cell block D then kill the sick bastard so he cant do anything like this again!!!

Indeed, so many people are worried about “stranger-danger”. That’s like being afraid of a wolf spider in your yard when there’s a giant bird-eating tarantula in your house. Sure, stranger-danger happens, and it’s ugly… but it’s NOT the primary threat – not by a long shot. Strangers only account for about 10% of child molestation and only 3% of child homicide. The majority of child molestation, about 60% of it, is committed by an acquaintence of the family. Someone you trust.
12:41 pm on March 4th, 2009
When I read this story my heart sank into my stomach. It is a parents worst nightmare. That poor girl, how scared she must of been……..
12:59 pm on March 4th, 2009
I don’t know if I did this right…but, yes, thank you SoJaded, of course you were right. I guess I’ve been reading too many of these kinds of stories, because these chets are all starting to look alike. Here is the link for the dude I confused this dude for.http://www.ktla.com/landing_mostinteresting/?Jury-Convicts-Vegas-Man-in-Toddler-Video=1&blockID=229372&feedID=1080, and I don’t even know if I did that right. But- respectfully, thank you, and, my bad.
1:13 pm on March 4th, 2009
ok, i obviously don’t know how to post a link, but that’s it. Same thing, just a different dude.
1:40 pm on March 4th, 2009
Thanks for the video, the men that went looking for her are heroes. Kody Kaplon should kill himself.
2:49 pm on March 4th, 2009
My thoughts exactly. Poor little girl.
Thanks! What a scumbag.

God bless this family, they tried to do a good deed and help someone out in need.
If a strange man were sleeping in my house my baby would have been sleeping in my bed with me.
I am sure this little angels parents will live in a nightmare for the rest of their lives for not thinking of that.
I pray the baby heals in body and mind.
7:58 pm on March 4th, 2009
Thank God she was found alive….
I don’t know if I can look at Taco Bell the same way anymore-to know he was working in one.
Hope someone in jail gets ahold of his rotten ass.

I feel a sense of relief since watching a documentary this past Monday on child murderes, pedos and the rest of the asshole clan that hurt kids. They were interviewing inmates that were in prison for this sort of crime. The HELL that these monsters go thru in prison is great!!! Yes, they have a bed, food, and a roof over their heads, all paid by us, the tax payers. But with all the abuse they endure in the penn, I am a wiling contributer to their stay.
A guy that had “accidentally” dropped his 3 month old and killed him, was taunted, raped repeatedly, and beaten. So I am hoping for the same treatment for this cowshit.
I read this story this morning and just could not comment at the time. I was scared shitless for this poor child. I envisioned her walking along that lonely road in her little t-shirt wandering about. It nearly tore my heart to pieces.
But now I all I want to do is tear this asshole into pieces. But good ole Bubba will be doing that for me.
8:10 pm on March 4th, 2009
His mood was devious on his myspace. To say the least, asshole.
8:11 pm on March 4th, 2009
Can I have the name of that documentary? I love watching documentaries and this one sounds very interesting and entertaining.
9:04 pm on March 4th, 2009
Someone suggested making a wanker-waffle of a molester’s genitals the other day. Shall I go heat up the waffle iron, or is that too good for him?
9:19 pm on March 4th, 2009
It says he is being held, for among other things, a “violation of probation.” Who wants to bet he was on probation for hurting a child. Assholes who hurt children like this need to be treated the same as murders. Lock them for the rest of their miserable, disgusting lives or better yet fry the bastards.
10:15 pm on March 4th, 2009
It says at the end of the news clip that the child spent the night with the California Child Protective services while they investigated the suspected abuse…so she didn’t get to go home that night? Good Lord so after all of that she had to spend a night away from her parents with strangers??? I’m confused by that….
11:14 pm on March 4th, 2009
My guess is that they wanted to make sure the home was safe for her to return to. Not trying to blame the parents or anything, but the guy didn’t break in–they placed their daughter in harm’s way by letting him into their home willingly. The police probably want to double-check on their story that they didn’t know, and never thought he would do such a thing, as well as make sure that they understand that you really shouldn’t be letting losers (even the related ones) spend the night on your sofa when you have vulnerable children in the house so they don’t leave her vulnerable in the future. I doubt that spending the night with Child Services is going to be much of a trauma after what she’s already been through. Better to have her safe in protective custody for another night or two then risk sending her back to dangerously naive parents without checking them out thoroughly so that the same thing doesn’t happen again a month from now.
I’m sure the parents feel guilty and all, but come on–you just can’t be there for your pals in the same way once you have children. There are just too many cases of parents letting some loser’s sob story get to them, at the expense of their kids. Give him the money for a hotel room, send him to stay with your childless brother, let him spend the night in the garage and lock the door to the house from the inside, let his wife spend the night so he can sleep alone in their house…there are lots of things you can do to help out a buddy. But don’t invite him into your home with a vulnerable child in residence.

FIRST JUST KILL HIM TOO AND WHO CARES
LITTLE FRANCIS YOU ARE A STRONG LITTLE ONE AND GOD BLESS YOU AND MY PRAYERS WILL BE WITH YOU FOR SURE

FOR FRANCIS’S PARENTS WHAT A TRAGIC NIGHTMARE YOU MUST HAVE WENT THROUGH BUT THANKFULLY YOUR FRANCIS IS HOME WITH YOU NOW AND THANK GOD THOSE PEOPLE SPOTTED HER WHEN THEY DID GOOD JOB TO THE INDIVIDUALS WHO FOUND HER,SHE PROBABLY WAS FRIGHTENED TO DEATH, NOT KNOWING WHAT TO EXPECT NEXT. SEE WHAT THE JUDGES NEED TO START DOING IS PUT THEMSELVES IN THE SHOES OF VICTIMS AND THEN SEE WHAT KIND OF SENTENCE PUNISHMENT IS THE BEST THAT MAY WORK AND CHANGE SOME MINDS OF JUDGES BUT HEY ONE MILLION DOLLARS HE WILL NEVER COME UP WITH SO FUCK OFF YOU FUCKER ROT IN HELL
11:45 am on March 5th, 2009
One question… the article says this guy’s a parent too? Does anyone know about his child or children? After all, if he’s willing to do this to someone else’s child, I’d hate to think what horrors he inflicts on his own.
5:08 pm on March 5th, 2009
Ok, I’ve been reading these stories for months, as a guest and decided it was time to become a real demonite after reading this one. I don’t know if I’m PMS-ing or what but this story had me quietly sobbing in my little cubicle at work hoping nobody would happen by and ask me what was wrong. Maybe it’s because I have a 3yr old daughter….
This guy’s “right to live” card needs to serioulsy be revoked!!! He crossed that line and once someone has crossed that line, to me there’s no rehabilitation or treatment for these sick fucks…they should be exterminated for the vile vermin that they are. A philosophy student I knew once told me that that sentiment was very Hitler-esque of me but I don’t care. All who harm children should be completely exterminated from our world.
5:18 pm on March 5th, 2009
BLZbub, I am right there with you girl. I have a 4 year old, and to think of anyone hurting him in that way or in any form, makes me crazy. My little boy when he speaks, sounds like Elmo. It ’s the sweetest sound ever, and melts my heart. Matter of fact, don’t all toddlers sound like Elmo, lol.
But I agree with you he does need to be taken out. I say line them all up and start shooting. I will contribute a box of ammo!!!
4:04 pm on March 7th, 2009
I myself have a 3 year old son and a 1 year old daughter, I would kill the sick fuck that did ANYTHING to my children…FRIEND OR NOT i WOULD make sure the guy never see’s another sunny day!
4:52 pm on March 7th, 2009
To the MEN who found this baby,I think I love you all! I want to throw you a party in your honor ,I just think you are all so wonderful to hear something in your heart that said act and act now! and you did, you amaze me! great job you are my hero’s.
6:03 pm on March 7th, 2009
This story kills me. I am so, so, so glad that this little girl was found alive, and I can only pray that she’s little enough not to have much memory of this ordeal as she gets older. This has me in tears every time I think of it. My daughter is 3, and I can’t even imagine…just…ugh. What a fucking nightmare. It is so unfair that there are “people” like this who prey on little children. I wish there was a way to sniff them all out and just put them out of our misery.
I truly hope there is justice in this case, and that this useless sack of shit gets exactly what he deserves.

A Northern California man has been charged with attempted murder in the brief disappearance of a 3-year-old girl who told police she was buried alive.
[...]
Judge Robert Kaster ordered 22-year-old Kody Kaplon of Hornbrook, a small community 270 miles north of Sacramento, held for trial.
According to testimony from Yreka Police Sgt. Ray Boutin, the girl told investigators her abductor took most of her clothes, choked her and buried her. She then dug herself out.
Kaplon is charged with kidnapping, attempted murder and five counts of sexual assault.
