Police searching for woman who may have been kidnapped

DAYTONA BEACH Police here are looking for a 42-year-old armed man they believe may have kidnapped his former girlfriend.
A niece of 50-year-old Karen Kummerer told detectives her aunt was being stalked by Joseph Scott Freeman and that he had made several threatening telephone calls to her in the past few days. When the niece, Brenna Randall tried to call Kummerer repeatedly Monday morning and got no response, she called her aunt's office at Bert Fish Medical Center in New Smyrna Beach.
When Randall was told Kummerer had called in sick, she knew something was awry.
Kummerer finally called Randall late Monday afternoon and told her she was with Freeman, but she was crying hysterically and also said the suspect had threatened to kill her if she called authorities.
Investigators said Kummerer had obtained a permanent injunction for protection against Freeman on Nov. 21 following the telephone calls he made to her and another incident on Nov. 13 when he jumped into her car as she waited at an intersection near her home.
Anyone with information is asked to call Daytona Beach Sgt. Billy Walden at (386) 671-671-5123, or, Detective J. Hawkins at (386) 671-5209.
