This photo released by the Salt Lake County Sheriffs Office shows Angel Garcia, 55, of Draper, after he was booked Wednesday, Jan. 16, 2013 on suspicion of child kidnapping, harboring a runaway, obstructing justice and endangering a child. Garcia insists he's innocent and has told police that Brooklyn Gittins ran away from her home in suburban Herriman and he picked her up after she called him. Gittins' disappearance last week prompted authorities and about 1,000 volunteers to conduct a two-day search. The teen crawled out of her bedroom window and left on her own accord on Jan. 8 but was thought to be without her shoes or a coat in chilly weather. (AP Photo/Salt Lake County Sheriffs Office)
