Investigators have released a video of a possible kidnapping, showing a woman screaming as she is led away

Wichita police are asking for the public’s help in identifying a woman who was reportedly forcibly taken early Sunday morning — an incident that has neighbors concerned.

Authorities released photos and surveillance footage showing the woman who was last seen around 2 a.m. Sunday, Oct. 12, in the 1400 block of North Volutsia, between Grove and Hillside.

Investigators said they followed up on several leads throughout the day and thanked the community for its support.

“We have been working all day on this investigation, following up on numerous leads, and we appreciate the public’s help,” the department shared in a post on X.

So far, neither the man nor the woman shown in the footage has been identified. Police said they were examining all possibilities and requested assistance from provincial and federal agencies.

The 20-second clip shows a woman being dragged away from the front door, screaming for help.

The footage appears to have been captured on a residential security camera, according to authorities, a common feature of the neighborhood.

Investigators enhanced the video’s audio to reduce background noise, hoping someone might be able to recognize the woman’s voice. Police urged residents to carefully review the footage and call investigators at 316-268-4407 with any information.

“Your assistance is vital to help us ensure her safety,” the department wrote on Facebook.

Investigators also followed up on a phone call from Oklahoma, initially believed to be connected to the case, but later determined to be unrelated.

One resident, who recently returned from visiting her family in Mexico, said the situation had raised her concerns for young women in the area.

“It’s dangerous. That’s the truth. But, always, I think there have always been kidnappings,” she told KAKE News, adding that she had never seen anything like this happen in her neighborhood before.

As of Monday afternoon, police had not reported any significant updates. Investigators told Fox News Digital they are continuing to analyze the video frame by frame, looking for any details that could help identify the people involved.
