SUV of woman abducted found in Philadelphia

PHILADELPHIA (AP) — Police say they have found a sport utility vehicle belonging to a woman who apparently was abducted, with her 9-year-old daughter, in suburban Philadelphia.

Police and the FBI say Bonnie Sweeten, of Feasterville, made a cell phone call from inside the trunk of a car on Tuesday, telling a 911 dispatcher she and her daughter, Julia Rakoczy, had been forced into the car after it struck her SUV from behind.

It is not clear whether the 38-year-old mother knew the two men she said kidnapped her and her daughter around 2 p.m.

Authorities say Sweeten's cell phone call was lost in downtown Philadelphia, about 20 miles from the abduction scene.

Police are searching for a black 1990s-model Cadillac believed involved in the abduction.
