• Carlesha Freeland-Gaither Safe at Home, Delvin Barnes in Custody

    Carlesha Freeland-Gaither is safe and back at home in Philadelphia after a horrific ordeal that began last Sunday night, Nov. 2, when she was abducted from a Germantown street a few blocks from her apartment. The video of Freeland-Gaither being dragged, kicking and screaming down the block, went viral and probably played a huge role in investigators finding her in relatively OK shape Wednesday night, Nov. 5, in Jessup, Maryland. Delvin Barnes is currently in custody and is actually being held on an unrelated warrant for attempted capital murder. Apparently, U.S. Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives agents received information from Virginia that tipped them off to the notion that Barnes could be their man, and they found his vehicle late Wednesday afternoon, Nov. 4, on a road in Jessup. It had its back window kicked out, something that those who witnessed Freeland-Gaither's abduction said she had managed to do.
  • Police Search for Carlesha Freeland-Gaither Abduction in Philadelphia Sunday Night Captured on Film

    Perhaps the most disturbing thing that many of us will see this week is the video of 22-year-old Carlesha Freeland-Gaither being abducted while walking on West Coulter Street a few blocks from her Germantown, Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, home. At about 9:40 p.m. Sunday night, Nov. 2, nearby surveillance video caught Freeland-Gaither being snatched from the sidewalk and then dragged down the block kicking and screaming until she was thrown into the backseat of a dark, four-door car. Her abduction was captured on film, and police are searching for her. According to the (New York) "Daily News," a nearby witness heard Freeland-Gaither screaming for help and she was able to kick out the rear driver's and passenger side windows before the car sped off. Authorities believe the suspect was likely driving a dark gray Ford Taurus with Pennsylvania plates. The vehicle was missing inspection stickers and there was an unknown item on the bottom center of the front windshield.
