Woman Kidnapped, Held In Milwaukie Motorhome For 12 Hours: Clackamas County Deputies

MILWAUKIE, OR — Clackamas County Sheriff's officials on Thursday announced the arrests of two transients who allegedly kidnapped a 32-year-old woman and held her against her will for about 12 hours.

Michael Gray Wilkins, 47, and Leslie Jacobs Weeks, 49, are both lodged at the Clackamas County Jail on charges of robbery, kidnapping, assault, and menacing. Both are being held on $250,000 bail each.

According to police, the kidnapping victim — a Portland resident — flagged down a passing citizen on Courtney Avenue in Milwaukie around 8:30 a.m. June 12. While being interviewed by deputies, the victim said she'd been held against her in a motorhome owned (presumably) by the two suspects, who zip-tied, gagged, tasered, and assaulted her over the course of approximately 12 hours.

After her escape, which police did not explain in any detail, deputies found the motorhome in which the victim had been held broken down on Courtney Avenue. A search warrant gave deputies access to the motorhome's interior, where they found evidence corroborating the victim's story, officials said.

At this time, deputies are seeking additional information and tips from witnesses. Anyone with additional information about this case is asked to call the sheriff's tip line at 503-723-4949, or email using the online email form at https://web3.clackamas.us/contact/tip.jsp.
