SAN DIEGO -- An 18-year-old City College student is in custody on Monday accused of kidnapping a 14-year-old girl from Idaho who he met on Facebook.

Investigators believe Tanner McCormack drove his silver Kia SUV from San Diego to Pocatello, Idaho and on Jan. 22, kidnapped her and brought her back to San Diego.

U.S. Marshals with the Fugitive Task Force immediately sent out a release to be on the lookout for McCormack and the 14-year-old girl.

After 11 days on the run, a San Diego police officer tracked the teens down to the Friendship Hotel on Eighth Avenue in Hillcrest. McCormack was arrested and the girl – who was found safe – was taken into protective custody.

Martin Cheney, a guest at the same hotel, said he remembered seeing the teens surrounded by police outside the hotel.

"They were just quiet and sitting there," said Cheney. "They looked scared because when they looked up they were like... you know, like they got their hand caught in the cookie jar or something."

The hotel manager told 10News reporter Itica Milanes that McCormack paid for an entire week upfront and the two rarely left the room.

Four days before they were found, McCormack was involved in a hit-and-run crash in Hillcrest. Police said he ran from the scene and abandoned his SUV, which was impounded.

Investigators said this is the second time McCormack met a young girl online and kidnapped her. The first girl was also found safe.

McCormack faces a charge of second-degree kidnapping.

Investigators told 10News the 14-year-old girl was back in Idaho. Her parents came to San Diego to personally pick her up and take her home.
