I’ve seen a lot of speculation that this was a schizophrenic or other mental illness episode that may has previously been undetected. After seeing the traffic camera video and police arriving minutes after she pulled over, I’d believe this theory more than a kidnapping. There is no way she was pulled away that quickly without the responding officer noticing.

There is a pretty popular internet mystery this reminds me of, and yes, it was mental illness and that woman was never found, either.

I'm not awake yet to remember the details but she was on a hotel (I think but not 100% sure) camera looking paranoid and then was never found. It looks like she was trying to escape from someone but it came out later she had mental health issues and whatever she was scared of did not exist.

*ETA: I'm not talking about the case of the woman in the hotel in LA who was found in the water tank (although it's probably the same story there). The woman in the case I posted above was another black woman. The woman found in the water supply of the hotel was asian, IIRC>
