That video is terrifying. That poor woman.
Who is the other woman there helping him? The news articles aren't even mentioning the fact that he had an accomplice, unless I'm missing it. Gosh, I hope they stop him before he does something terrible to her.

This latest article states, "A second, unidentified woman in the video tries to stop Savage but is unsuccessful."

It didn't look to me like she was really trying to stop anything, but maybe she was just in shock and not very effective at whatever she was trying to do.

I am puzzled by the second woman's connection. I did feel she was attempting to calm him down and the video ends before knowing if she got in the vehicle or not. I'm sure LE know and may have even interviewed her. She is not listed as missing so I'm assuming she is safe.

Amazing- wasn't holding out much hope with the violence on the video.

Barricade situation, glad she's out of harm's way. Hope no one else is involved inside this home though.

Around 3 p.m. Friday, a person who identified himself as Savage called the FOX 35 newsroom. During the 30-minute phone call, which was difficult to follow at times, Savage discussed a variety of topics. FOX 35 immediately contacted law enforcement.

Updated article. It states that the couple were visiting the other woman we saw in the video and Dunn didn't want to leave with Savage.
Savage has other criminal charges.
SWAT is still there, probably a CINT crew also.

The silver lining here is that he has committed enough crimes that he is going to spending the rest of his life in jail and she is finally free of him.
