The victim said she drove to several ATMs but told the suspect she couldn’t withdraw money from the ATMs in the area. The suspect then made the victim drop him off in an undisclosed area, where he fled on foot.
The victim then drove herself to the hospital and the victim’s boyfriend met with police at the home. That’s when he noticed his car was missing.
