Guy kidnaps ex-girlfriend to brainwash her into being his wife

The ex-boyfriend of a 28-year-old woman who was arrested for kidnapping her planned to chain her inside a New Mexico cave and 'brainwash' her in to becoming his wife.

The victim, Jane Priebe, was found alive on Monday evening after being held captive for 12 hours.

Priebe's ex-boyfriend Jack Morgan, 31, and a 19-year-old transgender woman Sophie Brown have been arrested.

Priebe had been dragged out of her Las Vegas apartment, forced into a minivan and her abductors drove her more than 650 miles to New Mexico.

A witness called police saying they saw a woman in her underwear bound by chains being dragged into a white van.

Police tracked her using a signal from one of the abductors phones, and said they could hear screams of 'help me' coming from inside the vehicle when they approached it, the Las Vegas Review-Tribune reported.

Morgan reportedly convinced Priebe to get coffee with him a week before the abduction, and Priebe told investigators that the two had dated during college and for some time afterwards, but had since, 'cut ties'.

Morgan hatched a plan with Brown for approximately 'a year and three months' during which he created fake social media profiles to 'track and stalk her'.

Morgan and Brown followed Priebe to her apartment complex at 4201 South Decatur Boulevard in Las Vegas.

When they couldn't determine which specific apartment was hers, Brown posed as a volunteer collecting donations for a church to identify Priebe's home.

Brown, 19, originally Samuel Brown, told police that she knew Morgan's plan was 'wrong' but that she didn't want to 'disobey' him.

Morgan, who is trained in mixed-martial arts, allegedly choked Priebe six times, rendering her unconscious and used 'a full roll of duct tape' around her face.

Priebe was found slumped over, her wrists handcuffed and legs bound with chains in the white van, according to the Las Vegas Review-Journal.

The abductors were on their way to their final destination, the cave, when police intervened, rescuing her near the city of Espanola, New Mexico around 11.30pm on Monday. 

Priebe was found injured but alive and is being treated for non-life threatening injuries.

Police said:  'As would be expected (Priebe) was extremely emotional at times of the interview and cried much,'

'She expressed extreme fear of (Morgan) and is terrified he will find her and kill her.

That grin on the abductor's face screams insanity.

LMAO.

Just like in the movies...

Interesting read.
