Pregnant Woman, Unborn Baby Survive Being Abducted, Set on Fire, Shot

A 22-year-old pregnant woman and her unborn baby are alive expected to live after being kidnapped, set on fire and shot in Warren, Mich., police said.

The man who kidnapped her indicated that it was because of her pregnancy.
“[The suspect] said ‘you know why this is happening’ and then he asked her about how far along she was,” Green said.

The woman told police she felt liquid being poured on her, heard a match strike and then was set on fire.
“She was able to get out of the car and start rolling on the ground, trying to put the fire out,” Green said. “And when that happened, two shots were fired and she was struck once in the back.”
The woman played dead, and the man left, police said.

“Right after the assailant had shot her, he fled the scene,” Geffert told the Free Press. “I’m saying ‘he’ because she reported a male voice, unknown description.”
She freed herself from the duct tape and drove to her mother’s house in Detroit. Her mother took her to the hospital.
