“It’s kind of a mystery now,” a high-ranking police source said, according to The New York Post.
The official reportedly said investigators do not know the woman’s identity or if she knew the man.
“She didn’t appear to be struggling like you would if it was a stranger,” the source said.
A witness reported the abduction. Police are reviewing video evidence to determine the suspect and woman’s whereabouts before the kidnapping, the source said.
