From Reno Police Department:
(Reno, NV) — On November 16, 2025, at approximately 04:30 a.m., Reno Police responded to Saint Mary’s Hospital on the report of suspicious circumstances. On scene, officers learned that the adult female victim had been kidnapped, her wrists zip-tied together and she managed to get out of the suspect vehicle and escape with the assistance of a passerby.
Officers immediately began canvassing the area and detectives from the Robbery Homicide Unit responded and took over the investigation. During the course of the investigation, it was determined that a black 2025 GMC Sierra was involved in the kidnapping.
