A man says he found a videotape in the middle of the Nevada desert showing a little girl being sexually abused.
Now, police are desperately searching for that little girl and the man suspected of abusing her. A blonde-haired girl, estimated to be about 5-years-old who police say was subjected to unthinkable, sexual crimes.
"This is probably the most disgusting thing we've ever seen, especially videotaped as a record of it, it's even worse," Nye County Detective David Boruchowitz said.
Nye County detectives were able to lift the girl's image as well as those of her attacker from a VHS videotape.
The tape was turned into police by this man, Pahrump resident Darren Tuck who claims he found it in the desert.
But police say Tuck's story may not hold water in court.
For one thing, had that tape really been found out in the desert, it likely would have melted in the summer heat.
Det. Boruchowitz said, "He's just not been cooperative at all in terms of any forthcoming information."
Tuck was ultimately arrested for possession of porn and may face additional charges but a close friend says detectives have it all wrong.
"He turned it in trying to do the right thing and they turned it around trying to say that he's involved and he's not," said Tuck's friend, Melissa Poulter.
He may not be involved but at the moment he is the only lead and detectives say if he does know something this little girl's life may depend on that information.
