An alleged sexual assault victim who says she was held against her will for months was rescued after she left notes in public restrooms pleading for help. In one note she wrote, 'If I don't make it tell my family I love them.'
An alleged sexual assault victim who says she was held against her will for months was rescued after she left notes in public restrooms pleading for help, according to authorities.
Police say the first cry for help was found Thursday, stuck to a mirror in the women's bathroom of a Walmart in Carnegie, Pennsylvania, outside Pittsburgh.The note was from a woman who said she had been sexually and physically assaulted, and was being held against her will, by 38-year-old Corey Brewer, who was armed with a knife, according to the complaint. The note also gave an address where she was being held and a description of a car, and begged the reader to call 911.
Police went to the address written on the note. Though no one answered the door, according to the complaint, officers said they could hear furniture being moved around inside. Two days later, on Saturday, a second note signed by the same victim was found stuck to a mirror in a women's restroom at the Fallingwater museum and landmark in western Pennsylvania, the complaint said. Police say video surveillance from Fallingwater showed Brewer and the alleged victim there.The note said she'd been held since May 1 and was not on vacation, and again pleaded with the reader to call 911, the complaint said.
