Chicago Man Heard Screams Coming From Abandoned Home Discovers A Woman Who’d Been Chained Up For Days Inside
The woman reported by WGN 9, knew the man who snatched and imprisoned her for four to five days. This particular chance meeting with the man at a local store would end in a tragedy. She said, “I ended up bumping into him and he was like, ‘You know, come here for a minute.’ ”
When she came with him, the man reportedly grabbed her and forced her into bondage. She said she tried to resist but to no avail.
“I’m trying to fight him, but I can’t fight him,” the woman said.
The woman says he took her to the house, chained her and sexually assaulted her. “He raped me twice. He left me in there handcuffed and chained.”
She says the man first placed her in the basement, and over the week he dragged her to the attic of the house then into an upstairs bedroom where she would later be rescued from.
The offender has been described to be around 60 years old, 5′ 8″ and wearing a corduroy jacket. Dobine says he saw the man leaving before hearing the woman crying.
“As I got closer, I’m hearing boom, boom, boom, help!” Dobine said.
“She was screaming, ‘Help,’ and I was like, ‘Who is in there with you?’ and I was asking her different questions,” Dobine said. “At that time, that is when I made the 911 call.”
“I waited for them to come, and when police got here, they discovered there was a young lady in there, handcuffed and chained,” he told NBC News.
The man not only called police, but went live on Facebook to share what he found on social media.
“I just located a girl inside of this house. Police say she’s chained up” he said.
Officers came to the home and rescued the woman. The first responders transported the woman to the hospital. After receiving medical attention, she told the press she’s grateful for Dobine stepping in. She added that she had been crying out for days.
“He could have ignored me, but he heard me, and he helped me,” she said. “I’m just blessed. I’m truly blessed.”
A community resident Louis Walton-Muhammed said he hopes this starts an effort to take action.
“Let’s open the abandoned homes,” Walton-Muhammed said. “Let’s walk through the homes. Let’s do a search. Let’s lock it back up and make sure everything is OK.”
Chicago police are still looking for the assailant.
Brendan Deenihan the chief of detectives said according to ABC 7 Chicago, “We are working with the victim to try and get a better description of the defendant, and do our best to, obviously, apprehend him.”
