A woman kidnapped by her ex-boyfriend at gunpoint outside of her workplace in California was forced to drive hundreds of miles to Idaho, where she secretly texted 911 – leading to her rescue, federal prosecutors said.

Emiliano Jaime Ramos, 41, of Lompoc, California, sexually assaulted his ex-girlfriend over the course of the kidnapping and told her he planned on killing her in Idaho in December, according to the US Attorney’s Office for the District of Idaho.
