AURORA, Colo. — A woman who was "forcibly kidnapped" by her ex-boyfriend was found alive in Wheat Ridge Wednesday morning, according to the Arapahoe County Sheriff's Office (ACSO).
Late Tuesday, the Colorado Bureau of Investigation issued an Endangered Missing Alert for the woman who was believed to have been kidnapped by Lance Foster. According to the CBI, witnesses said the woman was "forcibly kidnapped/abducted" from the area near 26000 E. Quincy Ave. in Aurora.
Around 10:30 p.m. Tuesday, Wheat Ridge Police and JeffCo SWAT officers responded to a possible hostage situation in the 10200 block of West 44th Avenue after receiving a tip that Foster was in an apartment owned by a relative.
Foster then engaged in a stand-off with SWAT members and agreed to release the victim. The woman was taken to the hospital for treatment, however, no details about her condition were released. SWAT was able to rescue Foster's grandmother who was also in the apartment through a bedroom window.
Foster, 43, was taken into custody and faces felony charges. According to ACSO, he had been stalking the victim and then kidnapped her.
