Seattle police say a cryptic phone call helped them save two teenage girls who’d been kidnapped.
The department says a 14-year-old called 911 around 1:30 Monday morning, pretending to order pizza, and told dispatch she couldn’t speak freely.
Officers say the phone disconnected, but she eventually called back— allowing them to track her to an apartment near the Space Needle.
According to the police report, the girl’s cousin, who is 17, reached out to an acquaintance named ‘Tony’ to get some weed. The report states the girls smoked with him and a friend, but said it made them feel strange and they were worried it contained something else.
While they were driving, the men told the girls to hand over their phones so they could put on music, according to the report. The girls later told police they knew something was wrong because two phones weren’t needed for that to happen.
One of the girls pretended she needed to throw up, hoping the men would stop the car, but the report states that they then showed her their guns and said, “You see this? You want to get popped?”
