Dad abducts pregnant 12-year-old daughter and her sister (Nashville, Tennessee)

Yet ANOTHER paternal kidnapper today. This one is adoptive father MATTHEW HESS. Authorities are worried because because the 12-year-old is nine months pregnant (!) and in need of medical attention. Not explained is how or why the 12-year-old is pregnant, and why Dad would abduct at this stage of the girl's pregnancy. I'd share my suspicions, but they wouldn't be pretty. Are we afraid of what DNA testing might show? Just thinking out loud here....
