Charges so far against the first two suspects include torture, kidnapping, false imprisonment, child endangerment and corporal injury to a child. Workers at the gym were shocked when the boy showed up and it's not even clear clear how he ended up in Tracy, California let alone the gym, but police spokesman Matt Robinson said the boy ran away from a Sacramento foster home last year.

Chuck Ellis, a manager of the In-Shape Sports Club in Tracy, said the boy came into the fitness center Monday afternoon wearing only boxer briefs, covered with what appeared to be soot. He had cuts on his arm and back and dry blood on his body, Ellis said. He added that the teen was scared someone was coming after him.
