On Feb. 26th Donna O'Rielly went missing from her work at a downtown Moncton mall. Surveilance video shows her leaving the mall and she never made it to her car in the parking lot. Honestly, I thought she may have run off to be with another man. It was better than what the alternative could be.
This afternoon around my work building, there were many cop cars situated at central points. None of us knew what was going on and it generated a lot of buzz. It turns out that at noon, Donna escaped from her captor and flagged down a driver on a busy street.
At 2 pm, the RCMP got in place to arrest the captor, which they did successfully. A 62-year old man is in custody tonight for kidnapping Donna.

The house where she was kept is down the street from my work building. It's on a route that many of us drive on the way for a coffee break, or on our walks, in what we thought to be a safe neighbourhood.
I couldn't be happier that she is safe...and that I took that self defence course last week. I also couldn't be more shocked that this happened in our city. It's really scary to think that someone so close could do something so horrible.
More news will come out tomorrow, but right now, it's good to know that prayers are answered.
