The Boise boy was abducted the day after his father filed for divorce; arrest warrant filed for the mother.

Published: 08/21/09


About 3:45 p.m., a bearded man knocked on a door at the Laurel Park Apartments on North Avenue H in East Boise and asked a young teenage girl to speak with Luca. The man made a comment about Luca's mother. Luca came to the door and the teen turned her back for a moment.

The teen heard a scream and the man and Luca were gone. The girl then called 911.

Police followed a few immediate leads, but hours later expanded the search to include the public and issued an Amber Alert.

Luca is light-skinned, 4 feet tall and 60 pounds with brown, shoulder-length hair and brown eyes. He was last seen wearing a black Darth Vader T-shirt and camo-print shorts. He goes by the nickname Goober.

The abductor is described as about 45, 5-foot-11, 195 pounds with short, light brown hair and a full beard. The suspect was wearing a red, white, purple and green horizontal-striped short-sleeved shirt and blue jeans.

Anyone with information should call 911 or the Boise police tip line, 570-6457.
Boise police issued a second-degree kidnapping arrest warrant for 7-year-old Luca Principali's mother, 38-year-old Ekaterina Principali of Scottsdale, Ariz.

Officials think she is behind the boy's abduction Wednesday from his father's apartment in East Boise.

She is also known as Katerina or Katya and also goes by the last name Moryakova.

Local police have asked the FBI for help in finding the boy.

Boise police launched a massive search, issued an Amber Alert and asked the public to help. Officers suspect Luca may be a passenger in a silver Chrysler Town and Country minivan with California license plate 6GQC981.

Though no specific threats have been made, Luca is in imminent danger because he was abducted, Boise police spokeswoman Lynn Hightower said late Wednesday.

The boy's father, Anthony Marc Principali, 52, filed for divorce Tuesday in Ada County, citing irreconcilable differences. According to court documents, the couple married in Rockford, Ill., in 1998 and have been separated since July 2008. Luca is their only child together. Ekaterina "has not had physical custody or visitation with (Luca) for approximately one and a half years," the documents say.

Ada County Magistrate Judge David E. Day on Tuesday issued an order telling both parents not to take Luca from Idaho and not to interfere with contact between Luca and either parent during the divorce proceedings. It is not known if Ekaterina Principali has been served with the papers.

Anthony's attorney, Paul Riggins, did not return a phone call Thursday.

According to information about Ekaterina posted on LinkedIn, an online professional directory, she is an accountant with three graduate degrees - including a master's degree in conflict resolution and negotiation from University of Notre Dame.

I pray he will be okay if his mother is behind his kidnapping.

But having said that, we read a lot of cases where the parent harms the child for SPITE. It sounds as if LE have a good idea what might be behind his kidnapping, I pray he will be returned safely.

Luca Principali, who was abducted from his apartment Aug. 19, is with his father Tony Principali in Boise, police said.

Tony Principali, on behalf of his family, offered his thanks to the community through Boise police and asked for privacy.

Luca's mother, Ekaterina Principali, 38, of Scottsdale, Ariz., is charged with second-degree kidnapping. She was being held in the Ada County Jail on Tuesday night on a $500,000 bond. An arraignment is scheduled for Wednesday.

Ekaterina Principali voluntarily turned herself in Tuesday afternoon at the urging of officers, according to a press release from Boise police.

Luca, who was with Ekaterina Principali when she turned herself in, appears unharmed and in good physical condition, officials said.

Police wouldn't say where Ekaterina Principali and Luca have been since the boy was taken Aug. 19.

A man who reportedly helped abduct Luca is not in police custody. That remains under investigation.

According to police, a bearded man knocked on a door at Luca's apartment on North Avenue H in East Boise and asked a young teenage girl to speak with the boy. Luca came to the door and the teen turned her back for a moment.

The teen heard a scream and the man and Luca were gone. The girl then called 911.

Police followed a few immediate leads, but hours later expanded the search to include the public and issued an Amber Alert.

The alert ended Tuesday.

Luca's abduction took on added urgency as the Treasure Valley came to terms with the death of 8-year-old Robert Manwill, who was reported missing July 24 and was found dead 10 days later in the New York Canal near Kuna. Manwill's mother and her live-in boyfriend were arraigned on first-degree murder charges on Aug. 19, the day Luca was taken.

7-year-old Boise boy Luca Principali is still missing/ UPDATE: Found Alive/kidnapping charge against mother, Ekaterina Principali, dropped as part of a deal Empty Mother behind bars

The 7-year-old is with his father in Boise and his mother is behind bars.

Ekaterina Principali turned herself into Boise police Tuesday afternoon.

However, officials aren't saying much about where the two were since Luca's disappearance from his father's house on Aug. 19.

Luca was with his mother when she turned herself in and appears in good health. The man who allegedly kidnapped the boy from the family's east Boise apartment is not in custody. That part of the case remains under investigation. Police do say that the man was working with the boy's mother.

The mother of a 7-year-old Idaho boy who
police say was abducted last year has pleaded guilty to misdemeanor
charges of child custody interference and disturbing the peace.
In exchange for the pleas, prosecutors dropped a felony
kidnapping charge against 38-year-old Ekaterina Principali as part
of a deal announced Tuesday.
The Scottsdale, Ariz. woman was arrested Sept. 1 after turning
herself into Boise police. The boy, Luca, had been missing since
Aug. 19 and was returned to his father.
The Idaho Statesman reports Fourth District Magistrate Judge
Daniel Steckel sentenced Principali to probation and 240 days in
jail, which he then suspended. Principali served 80 days in jail
following her 2009 arrest.
