Melissa Dean, 40, of El Socorro, was reportedly kidnapped on Friday night in the Beetham Gardens area, while her husband was assaulted, police confirmed.

Around 10:30 p.m., Dean was in a pink Nissan March with her husband and a co-worker, known only as “Lion,” when the vehicle came to a stop at an unknown location.

Several men approached the car, forcibly removed Dean, and dealt her husband several blows. Fearing for his life, he ran and escaped.
