Missing Pregnant Attorney Says She Was Abducted

POSTED: 4:37 pm EST December 7, 2007
UPDATED: 11:42 am EST December 8, 2007

A pregnant Ohio attorney who had been missing since Wednesday was found alive Saturday behind a suburban Atlanta amusement park, and police said she reported having been abducted.

Karyn McConnell-Hancock, 35, who is six months pregnant, told Cobb County, Ga., police that two men and a woman abducted her outside a juvenile court building in Toledo, Ohio, around 9 a.m. Wednesday, police spokesman Dana Pierce said.

The suspects dumped her out of a vehicle in Georgia on Saturday morning, and she wandered to a back gate to the Six Flags Over Georgia amusement park, where police were called around 6:45 a.m., Pierce said.

She appeared to be in good health. Details on where she was between Wednesday and Saturday, descriptions of her abductors and the vehicle they were driving were not immediately available, Pierce said.

There were no immediate arrests.

McConnell-Hancock had been having trouble with a client and had received suspicious phone calls, her husband told police in Ohio.

McConnell-Hancock's father, C. Allen McConnell, a Municipal Court judge in Ohio, had pleaded for his daughter's safe return.

She was last seen at her downtown Toledo law office Wednesday morning. Her husband told police she didn't pick up their son later in the day. He tried to call her cell phone, but it was turned off, police said.

Cobb County authorities were interviewing McConnell-Hancock, after which she was expected to return to Toledo.

News that McConnell-Hancock had been found unharmed was met with relief by friends and family, who had made several appeals to the media for her safe return.

"The worst I was thinking was maybe someone had harmed her because there's been so many women who are expecting that ended up not alive," said friend Toledo City Councilwoman Wilma Brown.

McConnell-Hancock is a former city councilwoman in Toledo.
