((HT: WBZ-TV Baltimore))
Aberdeen (MD) Police Department say Cal and Billy Ripken’s mother, Vi, was abducted from her home on Tuesday, but she is now safe with her family.
The suspect flashed a gun at her and forced her into her car.
A neighbor told WJZ-TV Ripken said she was approached by the gunman in her garage who then bound and blindfolded her. He wanted to put duct tape over her eyes, but Vi Ripken told him she was claustrophobic.
The Aberdeen police chief says all the two did was drive around and the suspect did not demand ransom. When the gunman left, Vi Ripken started sounding her horn, and a neighbor came out to help her.
The chief also says tips are coming in and witnesses are being interviewed, but police do not have an idea of the suspect’s motive.
Police issued an alert Wednesday morning, about an hour before she was found unharmed in her car parked very close to her house.
