DEKALB COUNTY, Ga. — A woman who rescued a mother seen kidnapped in surveillance video told Channel 2 Action News that she immediately knew something was wrong.
Investigators told Channel 2’s Liz Artz that Derwin Johnson, 23, took the mother against her will.
They say it was not a random incident and that the two know each other.
"She did not know where she was at. She had no clue of where she was at. She came out of woods, like I said, with no clothes on," Harris told Artz over the phone Thursday.
Carla Harris, who rescued the mother some 30 miles from where she was abducted, told Artz that she thought about the woman all night and wanted to know how she is doing.
Harris said she was taking the back way home Wednesday night, down Jack Neely Road, when a woman -- stabbed, beaten and nude -- ran from the tree line.
"I was thinking, ‘This can't be real,’ but then I had my window down and she was, like, ‘Someone please help me,’” Harris said.
