A woman in Wisconsin woke up from a nap in the back seat of her car to a living nightmare when she realized the man driving was not her husband, but a stranger speeding down the highway.
The woman was sleeping in her SUV while her husband stepped out briefly when Kyle Wagner, 51, jumped in the driver's seat and took off from Love’s Truck Stop in Columbia, Wisconsin on January 14 around 3 am.
When the woman awoke, she was told by Wagner that someone wanted to kill them both and he was saving her, according to documents obtained by WMTV. The chilling explanation can be heard in the background of a 911 call the woman made while being kidnapped.
'Why you take the car from the gas station,' the woman asked Wagner.
To which he responded: 'Because they're following us... your husband.'
