Prisoner abducts two girls and evades rescue through night
Karen Garner and Kerry Garner endured a terrifying night as a man abducted them from their home around 9 p.m. Friday. The offender, who admitted a mental problem and alcohol abuse, drove them around the city while relatives and officers searched hillsides for signs, nearly rescuing them twice. Their grandfather Douglas Freeman nearly spotted Karen as the kidnapper kept her hidden, and a woman saw them entering an apartment before the girls were threatened with a gun. Karen had been babysitting. Kerry was visiting.
