"Although we have different descriptions (of the kidnaper in each case), we're not excluding the possibility (he) is the same man," Fenrich said yesterday. Fenrich said cops have interviewed the brother and sister playmates "extensively," but the children have said they didn't see anyone take the tots. "We've investigated the backgrounds of their parents thoroughly and there is no reason to believe they are involved in this conspiracy," Fenrich said.

Reward money offered An extensive search for the children or witnesses has not produced any results, and the city has offered $30,000 in reward money to encourage people with information to call (212) 598-0071.

"I have a 1-year-old girl and I never let her out of my sight with all the bikes and cars going by, never mind someone taking her," said Kim Fox, 23, a resident of the project "It's scary where are those kids?" Description of suspects The suspect in the Walker case is described as a light-skinned black man about 5-feet-8, while the Dansby suspect is described as a 6-foot, dark-skinned black man with dreadlocks. Fenrich said people have told police they have seen someone fitting the description of Walker's suspected kidnaper as far as 15 blocks away from the playground.

On one side was the family of Robert Golub, 21, accused of killing his 14-year-old neighbor, Kelly Tinyes.
