Caller Threatened to Kidnap Woman, Pounds on House

A Frightening phone call:

A young female at home alone in the 3500 block of Adaline Drive called on Saturday evening after an unknown phone caller threatened to kidnap her, followed 90 minutes later by someone pounding on her house.

Police said the female, 19, called at 7:58 p.m. after hearing someone "banging" on the outside of her home.

The woman told police she had received a call at 6:24 p.m. from an unknown male with a blocked phone number. She said it sounded like the caller was distorting his voice.

The caller told the woman he knew she was home alone and he threatened to "kidnap her and put her in his dungeon."

Nearly 90 minutes later she heard the banging outside. The home's exterior was checked by police. Fingerprints were found on a window, but the victim did not know if they had been there previously.
