Naked Kidnap Fantasy Has Police Scrambling
Thu Feb 20, 8:10 AM ET
EDMONTON, Alberta (Reuters) - Canadian police in a frantic search for
an abducted woman dispatched a SWAT team to her home late on Tuesday
before officers on a routine patrol across town found her naked and
bound in the back of a car. But police in Edmonton, Alberta, soon
realized they had a problem -- she did not want to be rescued.
It emerged that the 17-year-old female and a man at the scene were
engaged in a role-playing game, but not before the man was arrested
and the woman sent to hospital for examination. She was less than co-
operative, police said. "She did answer questions, but she wasn't
very forthcoming with the detectives. They pieced it together that it
was some form of fantasy scenario on the part of the people
involved," Edmonton police spokesman Wes Bellmore said on Wednesday.
"It wasn't so funny for us because we burned up a lot of taxpayers'
money dealing with this."
The saga began just before midnight on Tuesday when a man called 911.
He reported he had been talking on the phone to the woman when she
said someone had broken into her house. Then the line went dead.
Police sent a tactical team to the house in west-central Edmonton,
because the address had shown up on their records as the site of a
previous weapons complaint.
"We had to make sure the suite was cleared by a tactical team in case
there were weapons involved. When all was said and done, there were
about 10 police units involved in this," Bellmore said.
About the time the SWAT team determined the home was empty, officers
in another part of town found the car in a secluded area by a golf
course, with the woman inside bound with tape and her would-be
abductor outside the vehicle, he said. "She was not fully clothed.
She was in a state of ... she was naked," Bellmore said. Police
arrested the man, who eventually told investigators that the scenario
was consensual. The woman refused to file a complaint.
"As far as our detectives can tell, there was nothing malicious about
it," he said. "We really had nothing else to do except release
everybody, probably with a stern warning to be more careful."
Police said they did not believe the man who called 911 had been
aware of the nature of the events.
