Jennifer Gould. The harrowing ring doorbell footage showed the victim
being pulled forcefully by a man across a driveway, screaming
for help, before vanishing toward a waiting vehicle. That video
(00:23):
sparked an intense, high stakes search effort that yielded a
critical breakthrough. Around three pm, Wichita police investigators received a
call from the female who identified herself as that victim.
Investigators quickly made contact, transported the woman, id'd as a
thirty five year old local resident, to city hall and
(00:46):
conducted a formal interview. The chilling twenty second video released
by the Wichita Police Department, had detonated panic in a
quiet section of northeast Wichita, capturing the final desperate moments
of the woman as she was brutally seized and dragged
into the pre dawn darkness. The hard stopping incident unfolded
(01:09):
around two am on Sunday, October twelfth in the fourteen
hundred block of North Fallusha Street in Wichita, Kansas. Surveillance
footage captured the sheer brutality. The woman, dressed in a
black top, black shorts, and knee length black boots, desperately
fought her assailant, who wore a dark top, blue jeans,
(01:30):
and white sneakers, as he violently yanked her across the ground.
The WPD immediately labeled the case a top priority investigation.
Here's spokesperson Andrew Ford at the news conference.
Speaker 2 (01:43):
We have to treat everything that it's real as though
it's real until we can verify otherwise. At this point,
we cannot verify if this is a hoax or anything else.
So we are operating under the assumption that this is
a legitimate incident, which is why we're here today. And
while we we've shared the video with the public and
when we shared the photos with the public the night
(02:03):

But detectives were initially grappling with a nearly eighteen hour delay.
The crime was not called in until approximately seven forty
five pm that evening. Compounding the urgency of the search,
Forensic teams dissected the scene for trace evidence, including DNA
and vehicle markings, while video experts frantically enhanced the footage,
(02:28):
particularly the audio of the woman's desperate screams, in a
frantic effort to generate leads. The department even saturated social
media with the video instills pleading with the public for help.
After nearly seventy two hours of intense searching, detectives hit
pay dirt when the woman featured in the alarming footage
(02:50):
reached out to investigators herself. Police stressed the massive public
attention generated by that video was crucial leading the female
to reach out. The WPD announced the incident is now
classified as a case of domestic violence, with the female
victimized by her boyfriend, who has not been identified. The
(03:11):
department continues its investigation and the case will now be
presented to the appropriate attorney's office for formal charging consideration.

any ongoing danger to the general public. More Prime and

was if you're a paralyzing disbelief certain the woman he
had long repudiated as a quote unquote habitual liar was
staging a profoundly grotesque joke. The victim of resident of
Pulaski County, told police he had maintained and on again
off against sexual fleeing with Hate for years, but had
(04:18):
previously dismissed her claims of a pregnancy, citing her history
of lies. The narrative of deception, though, shifted when just
days before the confrontation, Hate messaged him claiming she'd suffered
a miscarriage. The ultimate reckoning came, though, and Hate picked
him up to run errands, and, upon their return to
(04:38):
his home, performed the calculated delivery. She handed him the container,
secured tightly with vivid green tape, delivered her cold announcement,
and then just sped away in her car. Stunned by
the act, the victim was paralyzed by apprehension, letting the
cooler sit on his property for two agonizing hours before
he finally called a friend. Together, they pried open the
(05:01):
horrifying seal and unveiled the remains of the human fetus inside.
The victim immediately secured the contents and called the Pulaski
County Sheriff's Office. Police confirmed the discovery, and Hate was
booked into the Pulaski County Jail and hit with one
count of first degree harassment for intentionally inflicting severe emotional distress.
