This is definitely great news to the parents of Carlesha Freeland-Gaither, the nursing assistant who was abdulted several days ago as she was returning to her home. We were first alerted by news of her adduction by the popular site Sandrarose.com
Freeland-Gaither was found in Jessup, Maryland, southwest of Baltimore, and a suspect was taken into custody, he said.
Barnes is being held on a Virginia warrant for attempted capital murder in another case and “then he will be charged federally with the crimes here in Philadelphia,” Hanko said.
Authorities credited the public with help in identifying the suspect and his vehicle.
“Tonight we surveilled that vehicle in Jessup, Maryland,” Hanko said. “… When the subject exited the vehicle, that’s when Ms. (Freeland-Gaither) was recovered.”
Freeland-Gaither is in “good shape” but has some injuries, he said. She has been taken to a hospital and “she is talking to the agents,” according to Hanko.
Freeland-Gaither’s mother, Keisha Gaither, thanked authorities and the public for helping to locate her daughter.
Then she hugged the unidentified detective.
“He brought my baby home,” she said.
The news Freeland-Gaither was found alive follows reports that someone used her bank card in Maryland a day after she was abducted.
