Woman found safe after abduction
A woman seen on surveillance videos being abducted off a Philadelphia street has been reunited with her family hours after police said she was found safe outside Baltimore.
Officers also said they had arrested a man suspected of grabbing Carlesha Freeland-Gaither, 22.
Keisha Gaither, who a day earlier had sobbed as she pleaded for the safe return of her kidnapped daughter, told a Philadelphia news conference: “I’m taking my baby home. Thank you. Thank you so much.”
