In a surveillance video, the man and woman are seen walking down the street from a distance, shortly before the van containing the men suspected of kidnapping them speeds around the corner.

Around 6:55 p.m. Friday, several people called police after hearing a woman scream, and seeing two men force her and the man into a vehicle at gunpoint near 173rd Street and Haven Avenue.

The driver of the minivan fled south on Haven Avenue, police said.

As of Sunday evening, nobody had been reported missing. But neighbors were shocked by the abduction, 1010 WINS Reporter Gary Baumgarten reported Saturday night.

“It’s a good area, it’s a nice neighborhood. I used to walk my dog here all the time,” said Christian.

Anyone with information is asked to call the NYPD Crime Stoppers at (800) 577-TIPS, log onto the Crime Stoppers Web site, or text tips to 274637 (CRIMES) and enter TIP577.

VICTIM: Jennifer Renee Odom
White Female, Born 8/25/1980

On Friday, February 19, 1993, Jennifer stepped off her school bus around 3 p.m., waved goodbye to friends, and started walking the short 200 yards to her home in rural Pasco County, FL. Children on the bus reported they saw a faded blue pickup truck slowly following Jennifer as she walked home. Jennifer never made it to her door.

During the next days, law enforcement equipped with police dogs and hundreds of volunteers scoured 60 square miles of rolling groves, pastures and woods surrounding the tiny Pasco town of Dade City.

On Thursday, February 25, 1993, a man and woman searching an abandoned orange grove in southeast Hernando County, FL, found Jennifer. Jennifer’s clothing, including the red sweater and Hooter’s jacket, have not been found.

Approximately two years later on Thursday, January 5, 1995, a couple hunting for scrap metal in a rural area of Hernando County discovered Jennifer’s missing book bag and clarinet case. The bag and case were found in Western Hernando County.

The suspect vehicle is a full size, older unknown model pick-up truck, blue in color.

Jennifer was last seen wearing a white zip-up “Hooters” sweat jacket with orange lettering on the left sleeve, a red long sleeve pullover sweater, possible cashmere or angora, a white turtleneck shirt, white denim pants and black lace-up style boots.

FARIBAULT, Minn. (WCCO) — Faribault Police are investigating the possible abduction of a 24-year-old woman and her three small children.

Authorities identified the woman as Andrea Moreno Ramirez and her three small children as 5-year-old Leslie, 3-year-old Lisbeth and 2-year-old Johnathan.

They were last seen leaving the Cannon Valley Clinic in Faribault with a man police identify as Angel or Luis Hernandez. At this point, police have been unable to verify his identity.

Hernandez is described as in his early-20s, 5- to 5-feet-4-inches tall, 140 pounds, well dressed with clean cut hair. He has a front gold tooth and often wears gold jewelry.

Hernandez was last seen driving a black GM Hummer with Minnesota license plates and 26-inch rims.

According to authorities, Ramirez made a phone call to a friend, saying her boyfriend had taken control of her vehicle and that he was “taking them to I35.” Her cell phone was pinged in a wooded area near a bicycle triail, but police were unable to locate anything. The cell phone has since been turned off.

Anyone with information is asked to contact law enforcement.
