It’s a full day of investigation for law enforcement officers in Olympia, Washington, after surveillance footage captured a possible abduction. Through a press release, Washington State Patrol stated they are investigating what seems to be the abduction of three people, including a young female child at Olympia’s Heritage Park. According to reports, witnesses called police at 10:30 p.m. on Wednesday, August 22, alerting them that five or six men dressed in white plastic jumpsuits with white hoods jumped out of a red Ford pickup truck. The individuals proceeded to grab the three victims and put them in zip ties. The witnesses stated the victims were asking for help and for someone to call 911 before being driven off.
