The woman told authorities she was jogging near her home in Atlanta about 11:50 a.m. Tuesday when Jansen, whom she knew, asked her to see his new car. She got into the vehicle, which turned out to be a rental.

Explains a lot, I think

Yes, I'm not sure what happened there. The link directly under the title is okay. But the link where it says (Excerpt) Read more at is broken.

Never had that happen before, at least not that I noticed???

“He was signing the credit card slip when she popped up from the couch and showed me her tied hands and mouthed ‘call 911,’” said Turner, who has been delivering pizzas at Capelli’s Pizza in Gatlinburg for a month. “I said ‘Are you for real?’ I didn’t believe her.”

He said it out loud. She rolled her eyes, probably chowed down on pizza, then took a little nap to freshen up before the cops came. She wouldn't talk to the police in the abductor's presence. I don't know... too scared of him, I guess? Even though everyone knows that the cops would kill a rapist stone-cold dead if he tried to hurt his victim in their presence. LOL, I'm more suspicious than ever.

Maybe the “abductor” wasn’t observing her “safe word” and she decided this was an opportune time to end the game. Either way, glad she is okay.

There's a picture of him here, but can't be posted because of copyright worries with the AJC.

I am sure if they dig a lot further into this guys habits they will probably find he is a serial killer. Hang him soon.

Turner told The Associated Press on Friday that he noticed the woman pop up from a couch while her abductor signed the credit card slip.

Skip over this content “While I was standing in the door all you could see was the back of the couch,” Turner said. “And then she popped over the back of the couch and showed me that her hands were bound. And she was just mouthing, ‘Please call 911.’”

...

The woman told authorities she was jogging near her home in Atlanta about 11:50 a.m. Tuesday when a frequent customer at a restaurant and bar owned by the woman and her husband asked her to see his new car. She got into the vehicle, which turned out to be a rental, and was immediately tied up.

...

“She was just thanking me ... for trusting her,” Turner said. “She said he was going to kill her ... after he got done with her.”

...

Thank God she lived through this.

Police arrested David J. Jansen, 46, of Snellville, Ga., without a struggle on charges of aggravated kidnapping and rape, Sheriff Ron Seals said in a statement. He was released on $800,000 bond late Thursday. His attorney, Donald Bosch of Knoxville, had no comment Friday.

They released this guy on bond for Chrissakes???? What the hell are they thinking?

The neighbor who helped them was armed. from the other link:

“Turner then climbed into the delivery van, where his wife, Laniesha, was waiting. They drove to neighbor Bill Toomey’s house, where they called police.

Toomey and Turner waited for about 20 minutes for deputies to arrive. Worried that Jansen would flee, Toomey blocked the cabin’s driveway with his truck.

“I had a gun at my side in case,” said Toomey, who owns Toomey’s Country Market in Gatlinburg.”

Luck nothing! This was Divine intervention!

One might hope devine intervention would've set in before the kidnapping and rape...but maybe that's just me.

In a way, it’s a blessing that many criminals aren’t all that bright.

Too bad he wasn't one of those armed pizza men. I hope he is now.

If he had been, he could have handed the rapist the pizza box and said 'Oh, wait. I have some coupons for you here in my back pocket...' and whipped out his .45 and pointed it at his chest.

'You take your hands off that pizza box and I'll have to drop you, understand?'.

Released on $800,000 bond?

What? Was this done 'cause of the interstate nature of these crimes, or does Tennessee just release kidnapper-rapists almost at will?

Is our nation so economically hamstrung that our criminal justice system is just hopin' a few violent perps like these skip out?

A rapist who drives that far away to commit multiple felonies shows both a propensity toward mobility (both extending the range of potential future short-term victims & is a higher risk to flee) & detailed intent.

Beyond that, these crimes have a high % likelihood of ending in murder & never-solved crimes (bodies that disappear).
