I'm Nicole Parton Out of Florida. David Gibson is currently
facing serious felony charges including kidnapping and sexual assault of
a woman, as well as the murder of a seventy
four year old woman. The case began when a Florida
woman who had been kidnapped and severely beaten managed to
escape from a storage bind where she had been held.

Captive authorities have arrested Gibson, who is also suspected of
killing that woman's mother in law. On the late afternoon
of April twenty eighth, the Washington County Sheriff's Office received
an urgent call around five twenty pm from a bystander
who discovered a victim of a brutal attack on Douglas
Ferry Road. Sheriff Kevin Cruz provided updates during a press

(00:47):

a distressed woman, steel, unclothed, and in needge of urgent

The victim told deputies that Gibson, forty, had come to
her home the previous Sunday, alleging that her husband and
brother in law were thieves and owed him money. After
taking some items from her home, he reportedly assaulted her,
handcuffed her, and stripped her of her clothing. While she
lay defenseless, he brutally attacked her mother in law, Letty

of then forcing the victim into a car, applying duct
tape to her mouth while threatening her with a gun,
and sexually assaulting her. Upon arriving at his home, he
allegedly confined her to a shed, placing her in an
oversized toolbox, and binding her with a rope in the

(01:51):
position that made her fear for her life in what
she told to deputies as being hogtied. Hours later, the
victim managed to free her self and escape from the toolbox,
using a tree to remove the duct tape from her mouth.
She fled and reached the road side, where a passerby
noticed her and called nine to one one. When law

(02:11):
enforcement arrived, they discovered Collins was dead in the bedroom
of the home, where the kidnapping had occurred, with Sheriff
cru stating she had been severely beaten to death. That's
the mother in law. The investigators believe the violence unfolded
throughout Sunday night. After an extensive search, Gibson was found
hiding in a wooded area near Douglas Ferry Road. Sheriff
