Sandra Harris,
69, was reported missing on Friday by her husband, who called
authorities to say she was abducted from the couple's home in
Kennewick, a town about 200 miles (322 km) southeast of Seattle,
Kennewick police said in a statement.
Kennewick police and agents from the Federal Bureau of
Investigation made contact with a suspect in Harris' abduction,
Kennewick police said in a statement.
The suspect, a 49-year-old woman, was apprehended on Friday
night shortly after an undisclosed sum of money was paid, but
Kennewick police Sgt. Bryan Weatherbee said the victim had not
yet been located on Saturday night. He declined to provide any
further information.
Police said in the statement they did not believe the kidnapping
was random, but that the family had actually been targeted, and
that they were still working to determine a motive.
FBI officials in Seattle could not be reached about the case.
