Cal Ripken Emotional Over 'Premeditated' Abduction of Mother

An emotional Cal Ripken said Friday he believes his mother's abduction was premeditated.

Ripken addressed a crowd of reporters and cameras Friday at the B&O Warehouse in Baltimore. Baseball's IronMan said Vi Ripken is doing well, 10 days after she was abducted at gunpoint from her  home. He added that he is hoping to keep the spotlight on in the case.

Ripken said he believed the evidence indicates his mother was targeted.

"There was some thought given to it," he said. "The materials used to bind her were brought there, so there was a lot of evidence that shows somewhat of a plan, or that it was premeditated. Premeditated is my words."

Asked what it was like when he first learned his mother may be missing, the usually stoic Ripken was emotional.

"It was the worst feeling you could imagine," he said before pausing, with his eyes welling up.
