This attempt boggles my mind. Did he think there wouldn’t be cameras? Did he think no one would notice? Did he not think at all? Has this MO worked anywhere else? There seems to be a lot of people missing after work or on way to work but to try to abduct someone while at work???

I immediately thought of Samantha Koenig (kidnapped through drive thru window at a coffee stand).

I missed that one, so there is a “precedent” for this kind of thing…wow. Glad this one was unsuccessful and he was arrested quickly.

Looks like he's been out on bail for a few months. I hope has a driving ban.
