Aaron Zeman, a 26-year-old Arizona man, was arrested December 28 in Grand Island, Nebraska on suspicion of kidnapping a 13-year-old boy from Layton, Utah
Friends of a Utah teenager allegedly kidnapped by a 26-year-old Arizona man begged the kidnapper to release the boy.
Aaron Zeman’s Twitter accounts contained all sorts of sick and disturbing images and messages leading up to the disappearance of 13-year-old Evan McConney of Layton, Utah.
Several people begged Zeman via Twitter to release the child.
‘Give him back, you idiot. This is my friend [redacted]’ a boy tweeted to Zeman, who had attended elementary school with the missing teenager.
He also tweeted a message of support for the youngster: “Stay strong, be careful with me and [redacted] been talking about it all day. I don’t know if you’ll read this, but if there’s a way, just remember to be strong.’
Zeman was arrested on December 28 in Grand Island, Nebraska on suspicion of kidnapping the 13-year-old.
Zeman is a self-proclaimed “furry” and dog fetishist who allegedly nursed the child

An AMBER alert had been issued for the child the previous day, and the alert was raised after a gas station attendant became suspicious.
Zeman, who identifies as “Furry” and has an interest in the “puppy play” fetish, went online under the alias “Hunter Fox” and has been interacting with the victim on social media for some time.
Zeman is said to have cared for the child and explicitly pointed out sexual activities.
In one instance, he posted a video of himself masturbating along with a message for the victim.
In a series of Twitter posts last month leading up to the kidnapping, Zeman was seen allegedly interacting with the child, whom he referred to as his “lamb.”
Zeman allegedly nursed the child through disruptive online interactions under the alias “Hunter Fox” and “HunterFloofyFoxAD.”

His Twitter accounts included posts calling the child his “lamb,” along with sexually suggestive comments
Going by the moniker HunterFloofyFox, Zeman is said to have continued to tweet about the teenager, who refers to him as a “lamb.”
In one photo, he posted a text about having his “lamb” perform oral sex, along with a photo of his erect penis.
He is said to have later written: “I am the card. I am the map, I am the map.’
“MAP” is believed to refer to an acronym for person attracted to minors, itself a euphemism used by some, including activists and academics, to describe pedophiles.
He is also believed to have operated a Twitter account under the name “SadiqWolfe” through which he also interacted with the child.
The accounts have all since been closed, but all appeared to be using similar language.
“I would never hurt a child. In fact, as “pedophile” implies — I love kids,” read one post. “Love me hate me I am who I am.”

In a video posted December 15, Zeman reportedly filmed himself masturbating, along with the caption: “A very special video for a very special boy! Your videos are so damn hot hehe. You know who you are.’
The teenager responded to the news but was capped by Twitter.
The next day, Zeman reportedly posted how he was sexually aroused and ready to meet the boy: “I will march with pride beside you my lamb. I love you with all my heart and soul you loving sexy frigger. You will be in my arms soon, my love.”
Ten days later, Zeman allegedly kidnapped the boy and drove him 800 miles from his parents’ home in Utah.
Zeman and the boy interacted through a series of explicit conversations on Twitter, with Zeman constantly declaring how he wanted to have sex with him.
The only thing that belongs inside you is me,” Zeman reportedly wrote on Dec. 18.
Zeman is being held in prison in Hall County, Nebraska, awaiting arraignment and extradition to Utah.
