ELLENSBURG, Wash. — It probably happens every day: A man pulls out a gun and tells a convenience-store clerk to open the till. But the little girl in a pink jacket standing forlornly by the robber’s side made this crime anything but ordinary.
More than two days after the videotaped holdup in eastern Washington, 9-year-old Meadow Webb was safe in the hands of family friends Thursday in Fortuna, Calif. Her father, Robert Daniel Webb, narrowly escaped police there and remained at large.
Police describe Webb, 42, as a man who cared for his daughter but had problems with alcohol and trouble holding a job.
