FSU shooting suspect Phoenix Ikner's biological mom allegedly kidnapped him in 2015 and traveled with him to Norway in violation of a custody agreement.
His biological mother, Anne-Mari Eriksen, told Ikner's father in a March 2015 email that she was taking him to South Florida for spring break, but she "allegedly fled the country with him in violation of their custody agreement," an affidavit filed by the Leon County Sheriff's Office says.

The affidavit also states that Ikner — who was born Christian Gunnar Eriksen before he legally changed his name — has developmental delays and special needs. His father feared he would not receive proper care if taken outside the United States.
