Carlesha Freeland-Gaither, a 22-year-old nursing assistant, was found in a parked car in Maryland with ‘some injuries’ but generally in good shape, after her four day ordeal.

Her suspected kidnapper has also been arrested.

On Sunday night, CCTV captured Carlesha being dragged violently into a nearby car by an unidentified man.

Police released the footage, in the hope of finding the nurse alive, and they had their prayers answered when she was found this week.

The suspected abductor, 37-year-old Delven Barnes, is being held on an outstanding warrant for his arrest for capital murder, and officials hope to bring charges against him for the abduction of Carlesha.

Police Chief Charles Ramsey called Barnes ‘a vicious predator’ and that he deserves to be in jail for the rest of his life.

‘He’s a thug and this is what he does, apparently.’

Carlesha’s parents were obviously overjoyed at finding their beloved daughter, with her mother Keisha saying: ‘I’m taking my baby home!’

Her family were pictured just after finding out their young relative was alive and well - and the looks on their faces say it all.

The FBI located the abducted woman and Barnes in a vehicle parked on the side of a road, after her bank card was used earlier in the week.

‘This has a happy ending. This woman has gone through a lot of trauma in the last few days, and we need to respect her privacy,’ Police Chief Ramsey said.

At a press conference after Carlesha’s discovery, the police thanked the public for calling in tip offs that led to finding the pair.
