Nevada man arrested after allegedly kidnapping, sexually assaulting elderly woman and leaving her for dead
Nevada man Ryan Sanders was arrested in Nye County after allegedly burglarizing, kidnapping, sexually assaulting and injuring an elderly woman who found the man in her home.
A Nevada man Ryan Sanders was arrested after allegedly gaining access to an elderly woman's home, strangling her, sexually assaulting her, tying her up and kidnapping her, according to a local sheriff’s office.
On the evening of Nov. 21, the 73-year-old victim was asleep in her bed when she woke up to Sanders allegedly sitting on her chest. He strangled her and told her she was going to die, according to an arrest warrant reported by Fox 5.
Authorities say the man demanded "to know where the money and guns are in the house" and sexually assaulted the woman multiple times.
He ultimately kidnapped the woman, according to authorities, forcing her into the trunk of her own Chrysler sedan before moving her again to another car she owned. Sanders also loaded the car with the victim’s computer, purse, personal documents and other belongings, Fox 5 reported.
The arrest warrant says Sanders eventually drove back to the woman’s home, forced her out of the car and into an abandoned RV near the home. He then allegedly tried to sexually assault her again. The suspect ultimately taped a plastic bag over the woman’s head and tied her up. He also allegedly hit her over the head with a heavy object, which caused her to pass out.
After a days-long manhunt, authorities were able to apprehend Sanders on Wednesday in the town of Pahrump.
His 13-year-old son was with him at the time of his arrest and is now in the custody of Child and Family Services and in good condition, according to the sheriff’s office.
