Multiple sources told 11 News and sister station WBAL-AM Radio that the man tied Ripken up in the back seat of her car and drove to Baltimore County. The sources said a citizen spotted Ripken, and the man told that person that his mom was ill and he was taking her to a hospital. The sources said the citizen didn't buy the story and called police.
Sources told 11 News that the man drove her all over the state and never asked for any form of ransom.
