Bless her heart. How frightening. Thank God she was found unharmed. The abductor was already wanted for attempted murder.

I just want to say Thank God that this horror ended with the woman being found and the perp caught.

Kudos to law enforcement on this one. I pray this trauma for her and her family will pass as soon as it can, to the extent that it can.
