Suspect in Custody in ‘Violent' Lansing Kidnapping

A suspect was taken into custody Sunday in connection with the "violent" kidnapping of a 53-year-old suburban woman last week. 

The man was taken into custody without incident in Holland, Michigan, and is currently being held in the Ottawa County Jail on local charges, with federal charges pending, according to Special Agent Joan Hyde with the FBI. 

The woman was abducted from her home in south suburban Lansing and assaulted around midnight Friday before the kidnapper drove her to Munster, Indiana, in her own car, according to a press release from the FBI. While there, the man used an ATM that caught images of him.

The kidnapper is believed to have continued traveling in the area, making a stop in Harbor, Indiana, where the woman was located by law enforcement, the FBI statement said.

Law enforcement also found the car abandoned in Holland, according to the FBI.
