Denyse Holt, an elderly woman from Chicago, USA, is 80 years old this year.
The old lady is very young in mind and is hooked on the explosive word guessing game Wordle.
Every morning, she habitually sends the game score to her daughter Meredith Holt-Caldwell, who is in Seattle, and the mother and daughter communicate happily.
However, just a few days ago, on February 6,
However, the daughter did not receive the game score sent by her mother for a long time, and she sent a message herself, and her mother did not reply.
This was a situation that had never been seen before, but it made my daughter anxious.
In desperation, the daughter directly called the police for help, hoping that the police could come to the door to confirm the mother's situation.
When the police arrived at the scene, they found that there was something strange in the house-
The old lady has been kidnapped!
This accident has to start from the night before.
At that time, the old woman was sleeping in the house, and there was a strange noise outside.
A strange naked man broke the window and sneaked into the house, climbed onto the old woman's bed with a pair of scissors, and then lay down beside her.
Danger was imminent, and the old lady, though panicked, tried to calm down.
In order to save her life, she had to keep quiet and wait for the other party to speak.
The naked man was cut by a shard of glass when he entered the house through a broken window, and was still bleeding from his body.
However, he did not seem to have the intention of attacking the old lady immediately: "I will not hurt or molest you." ”
The naked man may feel cold, but he is worried that the old woman will take the opportunity to escape and call the police.
So he forced the old lady to take a hot bath together.
After taking a shower, the naked man dragged the old woman around the house.
The man took two knives from the kitchen, cut off the telephone line, and locked the old woman in the bathroom in the basement.
In order to keep the body warm, but also to pass the time,
The old woman walked as much as she could in the dark and did stretching.
Before being imprisoned, the old woman did not have the opportunity to send a distress signal to the outside world.
She also saw the naked man go to the kitchen and get a knife, which made her feel more fierce.
Of course, on the morning of February 6, the old woman could not share the score of the game with her daughter as usual.
Fortunately, the daughter, who was thousands of kilometers away, noticed this abnormality in time and decisively called the police for help.
After arriving at the scene on the evening of the 6th, the police confronted the naked man for several hours.
In the end, the SWAT team used stun guns, which finally subdued the man and arrested him.
Fortunately, the old woman was successfully rescued after being trapped for about 17 hours, unharmed.
The police confirmed,
The naked man, James H. Davis, is 32 years old.
He must have had mental problems, stripped himself naked during the illness, and ran into people's houses to kidnap the old woman.
After being detained by the police, the man was transferred to a local hospital for treatment.
At the same time, he was charged with a number of felonies, including the use of dangerous weapons to break into people's homes, kidnappings and attacks on vigilantes.
After the old woman was rescued, she shouted that she was very lucky and still had palpitations.
She and her family said they felt deeply from the accident how important it was to stay in close contact with relatives and friends.
In this regard, foreign netizens commented:
"Sleeper, it's terrible..."
