Carlesha Freeland-Gaither, 22, whose kidnapping was caught on surveillance footage, has been found alive in Maryland.
Special agent Ed Hanko told ABC News that several tips regarding Barnes came in from the public, and the authorities were "able to identify this individual, identify his car and track it into Maryland." They do not believe that Freeland-Gaither knew Barnes, and Philadelphia Police Commissioner Charles Ramsey said during a news conference that "he's a thug and this is what he does apparently. People like this, there's nothing that makes sense."
