I'm sure someone reported this...

I'd have the Dad call the cops about the incident. I
know you said you didn't want to see anyone put away
for it, but don't overlook the hassle factor. One of
the things I enjoyed so much about the last UA game I
ran was having the cops be a factor. In my experience,
and the players, most games view the cops as a sort of
non-entity. Nameless, and able to be gunned down. Not
so with UA...

I'd imagine she'd call the cops too. Which would there
names in the radar yet again.

Did they rescue her quietly or loudly. If loudly, I'd
sock it to the guy...

I'd think they had enough to haul him in for some
serious questioning...you could always have the evil
twin just cut it off at the pass, by going into the
FBI himself to volunteer info that will prove a pain
for the real Jason.

For an Amber Alert to go out there has to be a bit of
corroborated info about the child being missing and in
danger...if you don't want to put him away for this, I
think there's still enough there for some serious
questioning...you can always have him be able to walk
away from it, but he'd be a known quantity
know...future run-ins wouldn't be so kind, especially
if the "evil twin" volunteers some info...
