Today we get the disturbing tale of a 19-year-old woman who narrowly escaped getting kidnapped and roofied on Sunday while walking along Mission Street. She was walking near the corner of Mission and 19th at 1 a.m. Sunday when a 25-year-old suspect approached her with a gun. He dragged her to a nearby van, threatening to shoot her, and forced her to get in back.
The suspect then tried to force her to swallow a pill, which she somehow was able to resist or fake, and then he started driving the van toward Potrero Hill. When the van stopped at the intersection of 17th and Kansas, the woman was able to open the door and flee on foot. She contacted police immediately, but so far there are no leads on the kidnapper or the van. The only detail given is that the van was brown. [Mission Local, CBS]
