Police are on the hunt for a man who abandoned his plans to kidnap a woman in Autauga County, Alabama after she managed to escape the trunk of his car, in an incident that was caught on camera.
Surveillance footage taken from a gas station shows the moment the abductee pops the trunk of a Ford Taurus and breaks free. She immediately runs for the station convenience store, and by chance, happens to run past her kidnapper Timothy Jabbar Wyatt.
Wyatt, 36, had earlier forced the woman from a local motel room, where he is reported to have entered while she was asleep at around 2:30 a.m. After choking the victim and failing to get money out of her, he wrestled her to his vehicle and skid off. There is no telling what Wyatt had in his plans for the woman by locking her inside of his trunk. Police are investigating whether the incident was a crime of passion, as it was later revealed that he had texted her asking to see her and her children, which would indicate they knew each other and were perhaps in some kind of relationship.
A pair of warrants are now out for Wyatt's capture for second-degree domestic violence, first-degree kidnapping, and first-degree robbery.
