A gas station attendant saved a woman who had been kidnapped and managed to escape from the trunk of a car in the parking lot. Rachel Craddock was working at a Citgo station in Inverness, Florida, when the suspect came inside the store and the victim was able to free herself.
Craddock says the suspect saw the woman getting out of the car and he took off running after her. She made her way to a side door that was locked and was banging on it and yelling, “Help me! He’s gonna kill me!” The clerk says she quickly opened the door and locked the victim inside. “Extension cords around her arms and she had matted hair with blood,” Craddock recalls, “and all I could think was to get her safe into the store with me.”
She called the police and the suspect took off. According to the Hillsborough County Sheriff’s Office, 32-year-old Cody Jackson attacked the victim with a piece of wood at a home in Seffner and she was bound and restrained with cords, then thrown in the trunk before he drove 75 miles north to the Citgo. The victim is recovering in the hospital and the sheriff’s office is still searching for Jackson.
