Police in Arizona believe they have found a woman who appeared to be the victim of an “apparent assault and abduction,” after having released video of an incident from February.
The Buckeye Police Department provided the update on Tuesday, adding that the woman had been contacted, and detectives determined she was not injured. They did not say how she was located.
“Investigators have determined this was an apparent domestic violence incident,” a police Facebook post said.
The incident caught on camera happened Feb. 23 at a Circle K near Intersate 10 and Watson road in Buckeye, a suburb of Phoenix.

Surveillance video shows just after 10 p.m. that evening, a gray SUV pulled up to a gas pump before a female got out of the passenger seat and started running toward the convenience store. A man can be seen getting out of the driver’s seat, grabbing the female and dragging her back into the vehicle.
At the time of the video’s release, police knew nothing about the two people, but identified the vehicle as a 2021-23 Nissan Rogue that took off on Watson Road heading toward Interstate 10.
