in both of those cases, the victims were taken from the delaware apartment complexes at almost exactly the same time. we spoke to a woman across from the apartment where this latest incident occurred. she says it's frightening. >> i got home at 6:30. that's really scary. when i first moved into my apartment by myself, i took self-defense classes around in the area. i'm pretty confident. i try not to be by myself a lot, but i am living on my own. i'm always looking around and keeping an eye. >> reporter: take a look as we come back out here live. you can see mounted detectives here combing through the area, searching for any potential evidence that was left behind. we're looking on turning that interview around with that neighbor right now. we're going to have that for you at 11:30, but he says he put that victim inside his apartment. he locked her up so she could be safe there.
