Baltimore County Police: Man Wanted in Kidnapping

A woman wanted in connection with an armed kidnapping in Boston was arrested in Baltimore County over the weekend after she called police on her boyfriend, who is also suspected in the kidnapping, officials say.

He remained at large Monday afternoon, police said. Adynew Alves, 28, of Boston, should be considered armed and dangerous, according to police.

His girlfriend, Stephanie Michelle Walker, 28, of Lawrence, MA, called 911 to report that Alves had sexually assaulted her, according to police, who said the sexual assault investigation is ongoing.

Upon investigation, officers found Walker at a gas station Saturday in the 6600 block of Security Boulevard and realized there were warrants for her and Alves’ arrest in connection with a kidnapping near Boston, according to the Baltimore County Police Department.

In that incident, a woman was grabbed at gunpoint from a detached garage in Lawrence, MA, and forced into the trunk of a car last week, according to CBS Boston.

The 49-year-old victim knew at least one of the suspects, who were identified by Massachusetts authorities as Walker and Alves after the Sept. 23 kidnapping, Fox Providence reported.

The victim escaped from the moving vehicle in Taunton, MA, approximately one hour south of Lawrence, and was assisted by drivers, who called police, according to the Taunton Gazette. The vehicle was reportedly found abandoned Wednesday morning.

On Monday, Walker was being held at the Baltimore County Detention Center pending extradition to Massachusetts, police said. She was charged with being a fugitive from justice in Maryland and has warrants for kidnapping, assault and battery charges in Massachusetts, Fox Boston reports.

The Baltimore County Police Department reports it is working with the U.S. Marshals Service and Massachusetts State Police to find Alves, who should be considered armed and dangerous.

Anyone with information about Adynew Alves should call police at 410-307-2020.
