#NBCNews #NewJersey #Kidnapping
REPUBLICAN TRUMP VOTER
Biden border jumper
lol….Trump lives rent free in your head. I bet you think about him every single day and can’t help yourself. That’s f’ing hilarious!
“HE DIDNDU NUFFING”- THE CUACASITY
Black people do it so much, it doesn’t make news….
Some women have Excellent taste in men.
Women have embraced feminism and hypergamy
There are consequences
Or, get this, men are the actual problem.
LOW COMMENTS = 13% OF 69 MILLION TRUMP VOTERS ARE CAUSING 90% OF AMERICAS CRIME IN 2023.
Was that his dog??
How was she kidnapped when they rented a room?makes no sense
For real.????
She needs to be arrested
That’s her fault for picking up a stranger. Was she desperate????
Many women are these days!!!
Let this be a lesson to all women: DO NOT pick up men you don’t know!
Both sides. Boooooth sides. 😎
Men… the worlds problems
Without men there can be no woman.
Without her , there can be no crime.
@Chopper Chopper lol!! time to sterilize men.
Criminals are stupid people 🙄just look at him wow he is stupid 🙄
I thought people who looked like him were “perfect angels”? But he turns out to be just another Usual Suspect.
Yes according to them..
They are angels
@Javi Ruiz how about the nazis
@Javi Ruiz angels of death!
His-tory tells otherwise.
…..
better than most of the popular youtubers
story doesn’t make any sense to me. How does someone who rents rooms and rides bikes for transportation keep someone held against their will..
That almost always requires a house or shipping container and sound proofing.
the story does not add up
Fear and threats.
His mugshot looks like such a trust worthy face. 😂
He literally loooks like this 👹🦹🏼♂️
🤣
you can see why she wanteed to spend a month with him
Many years of listening to my female friends they all want a man with BLUE/ GREEN eyes and six feet tall. So they overlook the scary face. I have decades of observing this.
The true colors are shown when they are caught. It’s fascinating how their “sweet smiles” fade.
Yawn.😴💤
Let’s also be sure to talk about Japanese torture in prison camps. Japanese subs spotted off the west coast. And let’s not forget Pearl Harbor. So internment camps, not a big deal
I really wished they left out the part where they spent time together. It’s unnecessary and can create ammunition to blame her. She doesn’t want him now and that’s what matters.
Yeah, I blame her
They did spend time together, was it quality time ? not completely. ✌️
We all blame her!!!
Where are all the people who want to blame ethnic people for all crime. Nowhere to be found mhmm
At what point during the months long road trip did she decide she was “kidnapped?”
At any time she doesn’t want to be with the man, but he refused to let her leave and kept her property so she couldn’t leave. That’s kidnapping. Look it up
@KPepper L He probably thinks the woman is the mans property, after she agreed to go on a trip with him. USA is a monster.
I knew this guy looked familiar! He is the same man that was stalking people on the Pacific Crest Trail!
Felt sorry for this lady someone give her a get away ride home.
🤣🤣
Some judge will let him walk away free
Jamie is looking great for an older person
He looks kid nappy. She should have seen it coming.
Women plz don’t be so trusting and give a total stranger a ride ,that is insane, they can be a killer Thank God she is Alive .🥺
If she only would have learned kung-fu in 9th grade from the 5 foot tall teacher. Female 🤣🤣✌️
Sounds like a Crack deal
Vote communist again. How many stories with bad endings for strong elite American women get swept under the rug daily? Thousands. Everyone knows who supports communist BLM/antifa..everyone hears the voices of traitors loud and clear. Vote communist pervert again ladies and victimhood will be your life
Ladies, we can survive these happenings. Cause a scene, scream, fight, run.
Usual suspect
Pine Barrens! Legendary fishery
She deserves everything she got. You don’t fkn go off with strange men!!!
I’m guessing you are one on Jersey sisters. LOL. Straight shhoter
Let’s hope this happens to you.
You’ll never be a w. 😆
What the heck would she pick up a stranger and hang out with him let him strangle her once then take him across country with her ??? There’s something about this whole situation that makes no sense at all 🤨
???🤨🤨
Why bro look like a Walmart Johnny Sins 💀?
I hope she got her stuff back.
It may have begun unconventionally, but this is nonetheless still a romantic relationship gone awry. Glad she’s safe.
Great job helping her and her brave escape! I hope they keep him in jail and off the streets! FN psycho! CREEPY!
This the same woman that was hanging out of a big-rig last year in New Jersey. She was screaming for help and then the big rig pulled off .but everyone’s seen it on the news. I always wondered what that lady okay.
The guy must be a Democrat, gotta be.
Just another man
Meanwhile the most popular republican (Ron DeSantis) is literally being investigated for kidnapping asylum seekers, and republicans love him for it… But hey, you’re a republican, facts mean nothing to you. Carry on.
Looks like a monster
He is kinda cute
For a pig? Yeah if you say so.
Sounds like a abusive relationship
🤔🤔
She put herself in danger picking up a stranger probably a lady of the evening
Wtf is wrong with you?
We are surrounded by dangerous social misfits. Be one your guard 24/7
@Lou Jon She dated someone she met. That doesn’t make her stupid. I can’t believe I have to point this out.
@Corey Trevorson You think traveling across the country with someone you met 5 minutes earlier is dating? 🤣🤣🤣
@Lou Jon They both did, that’s why they entered a relationship after arriving at their destination.
Where did you see the timeline? Oh, that’s right, you didn’t and you’re making it up to defend your horribly sexist BS.
Why is picking someone up at a bar, club, or on tinder any different from meeting someone at a gas station, or store?
No one deserves to be abused or kidnapped for dating/hooking up.
You can laugh until you cry all you want. Your argument is still ridiculous.
I’m surrounded by my neighbors. They all work and have families, and are not dangerous social misfits.
@Corey Trevorson Thanks, that needed to be said.
okay, but how do you pick someone up from a gas station and end up spending 2 months with them??
I know I’ll get flagged for this, but man, that lady sure did deserve what happened to her.
You’re saying she deserved to be kidnapped, beaten, and threatened for dating a guy she met at a gas station?… What do you think a gas station is? And why do you hate women so much? Does the guy deserve the same for dating a woman he met at a gas station?
@Corey Trevorson she moved him in the same week….. read the article
@Mr Scrappz she liked him, she dated him. So she deserves to be kidnapped and abused? WTF kind of “logic” is that.
@Corey Trevorson a week isn’t enough time to know someone enough to where it’s okay to move them in with you. Especially if they’re some homeless guy. Say what you want, but it’s like I said, I don’t expect anyone to agree with my opinion.
Those nostrils tell a lot about him and why would anyone ever date a guy who needed a ride and had no car? Thank you Lord for bringing this woman to safety and may she experience healing, comfort, and abundance soon.
I guess to some people being alone is more frightening…really sad
Sounds like they deserve each other 🤷♂️🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Of course it’s the pine barrens
She couldn’t stab him to death while he is asleep?
11 of the 16 states with the highest violent crime rate? The Republican-led states of Alaska, Tennessee, Arkansas, Louisiana, Missouri, South Carolina, South Dakota, Montana, Oklahoma, Alabama and Texas. 9 of the top 11 states with the lowest per capita state spending on law enforcement? The Republican-led states of South Dakota, West Virginia, Alabama, Mississippi, South Carolina, Iowa, Arkansas, Indiana and Kentucky.
And what has that to do with the price of tea in China? What a maroon.
@katylake212 My mom used to say that, well, not the maroon part, but the rest of it. I haven’t heard it in years, thanks!
Women love these type of men. Muliple times? Haha she probably liked it at first but wanted to meet someone new and he wasnt having that
Thank God 🙏 she’s safe❤️
Man, we need to love ourselves truly, deeply and unconditionally.
Clearly someone like that would kidnap any woman, should she had been nice or engage with him or not, but her trusting this complete stranger and placing herself in danger like that..
Is not the trust part the issue to be honest is the exposure. Sure give them a ride, but do not place yourself in a situation of clear danger. Everyone can sell a lie a pretend to be someone they’re not, so keep your belongings close to you, your phone charged, inform your loved ones where you are and with who, take photos, share your location… And still you’ll never truly be safe, but closer to it nonetheless.
Let’s stop trying, both men and women, to find love in places where we KNOW deep down is not.
Way to shame the victim. smh
Something wrong with this case. Not enough information here. And the information you have sounds fishy.
Why would u pick up some random person in 2023. The world is not a safe any more.
See this is why you don’t let strangers get in your car. Predators are always nice before they attack! Please stop doing this..I’m glad she got away alive 🙏🏽
She got in his car no?
This comment has nothing to do with the video and people are liking it wtf😅 she was dating him for a month consensually, and then he became violent and restrained her from leaving…are we watching the same thing or??
@Horacio Spinellithe car belonged to her.
Something in this story doesn’t add up. At what point in their being together did she decide she was kidnapped? Based on the information given in the video, it looks to me like domestic violence. Going to be difficult to prove kidnapping or imprisonment charges.
They were probably using drugs together, and after the supply/money ran out the toxic relationship wasn’t worth it anymore.
Who knows?
I agree, this story is full of holes. Began a “romantic relationship” on the drive to Arizona?!?! What is this lady a proustite…lol
I think you are right, there are some drugs, that she left out of the story!
It might be difficult to prove kidnapping case UNLESS they find other victims…I have a hunch they will
Why would you even get involved with a creepy-looking guy like that
If he HAS done this to other women, then hopefully they will see this video, and contact the law in New Jersey to substantiate it and add their own complaints.
This is the strangest story ever!!! 🤔 Besides, how stupid can you be!!! 🤡🙄
I’m sure that the FBI was close behind, hot on the trail, being a year and all. Bwahaha, sadly probably not. If Cleveland is any gauge to their tenacity after the 3 girls chained in the bus driver’s basement finally escaped, after an exhausting 2 week FBI search. But I digress, because I like to when lazy, dumb people have law enforcement jobs.. However— chalk one up for New Jersey! They did better than the entire federal government when it was required. Amazing. Someone deputize all of New Jersey– normally the countries most hated state. But, the opportunity was presented. An opportunity that went beyond national resources, and all the manpower invested in this case ended in part by gritty, NJ common sense in a gas station. Sadly, not any in authority had a clue this was even a case.
The police nowhere to be found next time report of him as a black guy ohhh waitt
“Hitch Hiker Joe” by the Rugburns ….song is about this stuff
Oh, wow. There’s a bar in a town near me called ‘What’s the Point?’
Come on now, you knew better then to ever let that man in your car smh save it
That’s way we need the death penalty for kidnapping and rap
And the KKK
Legal mess for sure.
Women like vagina women you have gun rights to hold a concealed weapon in your vehicle:use it.
ABDUCTIONS reporter needs to catch up on her legal research
How old is the girl?
حتجز رجل امرأةً في الولايات المتحدة ضد رغبتها، فيما يُشبه الأسْر لنحو عام، قبل أن تتمكن الأخيرة من تحرير نفسها في قصة غريبة أثارت اهتمام الرأي العام ووسائل الإعلام.
وذكرت وسائل إعلام أمريكية، أن المرأة التي لم تكشف هويتها، اختُطفت قبل نحو عام؛ بينما كانت تسافر عبر الولايات المتحدة؛ لكنها تمكنت من الفرار من آسرها بشكل دراماتيكي.
وحسب شبكة “سي إن إن”، تمكنت المرأة من الفرار بعدما أعدت خطة للهرب صوب محطة وقود في ولاية نيوجيرسي.
ووجهت السلطات القضائية اتهامًا إلى جيمس باريلو (57 عامًا) باختطاف امرأة قابَلَها في ولاية نيومكسيكو، العام الماضي، قبل أن يسافر معها إلى نيوجرسي؛ حيث هاجمها في عقار استأجره الاثنان في مقاطعة برلنغتون بالولاية.
وقال مالك محطة الوقود، بوبي مودان: إن امرأة اندفعت إلى محطته يوم 7 فبراير الجاري؛ حيث سمعها تصرخ. وقال إنها أغلقت الباب بعدما دخلت إلى المتجر الملحق بالمحطة.
وأضاف أنه شاهد رجلًا يركض خلفها؛ لكن عندما فشل في الدخول إلى المتجر غادر المكان.
وكانت المرأة مصدومة وتبكي داخل المتجر، وراحت تتوسل المساعدة؛ بحسب شاهد العيان.
وفي وقت لاحق، ألقت الشرطة الأمريكية القبض على الرجل المشتبه فيه، ووجهت له السلطات تهمة الخطف، من بين تهم أخرى، حسب “سكاي نيوز عربية”.
وتَبين أنه خلال احتجازها، قام المتهم بخنق المرأة مرارًا، وهددها بقتل أفراد أسرتها، في حال غادرت المكان المحتجزة فيه.
وذكر مكتب المدعي العام، أن المتهم شارك في سلوك عدواني مماثل في ولايات أخرى، ويستخدم أسماء مستعارة في تحركاته.
وبدأت العلاقة بين الاثنين بعدما قدّم باريلو نفسه على أنه شخص يدعى بريت باركر في ولاية نيو مكسيكو؛ حيث طلب منها أن تساعده في السفر إلى ولاية أريزونا.
وبعد شهر من العلاقة التوافقية بين الاثنين، بدأت الأمور في الانقلاب؛ إذ راح يستغل هاتفها، وينفق الأموال من بطاقة الخصم الخاصة بها، واعتدى عليها جسديًّا في ولاية كاليفورنيا؛ حيث شعرت بأنها غير قادرة على الفكاك منه، كما أبلغت السلطات.
وفي النهاية ضرَب طوقًا عليها، فمنعها من إجراء مكالمات مع ذويها، عندما يكونان معًا.
وفي ولاية نيوجرسي، استأجر الرجل غرفة في منزل؛ حيث حبسها هناك.
لكن ليس من الواضح لماذا لم تقاوم المرأة آسرها خلال كل هذه المدة، وكيف لم يشعر أهلها بأنها متوارية عن الأنظار لمدة عام.
If wanting him to be castrated is wrong, I don’t want to be right.
let’s see if he suddenly claims to be trans so he can be put in a woman’s prison and continue to harm women.
For a whole year? really? Something does not add up !!! I mean…I would get him drunk and sneak out while he is sleeping. Drop notes in the women bathroom, ….I mean she had a whole year to do it. Anyway…not enough information…… DEAR NBC NEWS….get better reporters who can dig deeper in the story !!!!
Wait so they both shared an apartment across the street, traveled the country together and she’s been seen around the neighborhood. Lol news outlets LOVE to romanticize women being victims to situations they are CLEARLY a party to.
That was a close call
I believe this is the same guy who held a woman on the Pacific Crest Trail, and many backpackers were spreading the word about him for years. This is not his first time!
Please notify the police, so they throw the book at him
Whoop his azz and give him a rope.
And there’s the dog. “Oh look! A new friend! Not you? How about you?” We can learn a lot from dogs.
whites things 😁
What’s sad is that we were all sweet trusting nice naive young women. Then some scary sh*t happened or almost happened to scar us. I’m amazed I made it out alive through my teen & young adult years. Now I’m hypervigilant & pregnant, terrified for my child to live in this world where no one can be trusted.
BS
Time for women stop getting swept off the foot by these sick men. Don’t need anyone to validate you. Start loving yourselves.
This story is really weird. Difficult to get the full gist of it.
@ACB 2K his recent victim before was some 60 MTF troon… not exactly a woman let alone a young one
I just saw a story from the UK, a family took in a homeless guy, fed him, gave him money, found him a job, gave him a phone and paid for his account. The guy came back after going absent for a few weeks, he crept into their home and stabbed three people, 2 died. I just donate to charities, I don’t get involved helping people, it can be deadly.
This happening a lot with yt males. The guy that kidnapped the young lady and her 2 friends she was the only one that made it out a live. What’s up with the slave owner mentality?
You crying over yt women? As long as he’s only targeting wipipo, that’s a win!
They lived together for one year. Then she escaped and claimed to be kidnapped. It’s weird. 🤔🤔
Whatever the reason, glad she is safe. He might say she picked him up and stayed and travel with him all these time
Dumb story…dumb couple… Disturbing the people’s lives around them…that looked like nothin but a domestic dispute.
🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾
That’s not a kidnapping. The entire story sounds silly. Not knowing him, picking him up to give him a ride, WILLINGLY staying a WHOLE MONTH with him. where are the other parts? Even the gas station attendant looks high..
😂😂
He will be out by March 30 th. Our laws are so strict when it comes to crime. NOT
Never pick up hitchhikers.
I guarantee he has done this to multiple women.
The ‘providers and protectors’. 😅
So she liked him until she didn’t like him 🫠
Looks like a weirdo
Wow…why hurt someone who.was helping you though? Poor lady
Let me see more traitors on the run with rifles on their belts and knives, all sick in the head and psychos, please, the world is agitated, they like scamdal and they like world conflicts, so yes, I also say that the USA was
You meet a random looking guy, that looks like this guy, and you hop in a car for an impromptu roadtrip? Make this make sense. 🤔
