Four hours later, Lee called 911 from the trunk of King's car, stating her name, address and that she had been abducted. Minutes later, Sabrina Muxlow, a relative of King, called 911 after King reportedly appeared at Muxlow's home, asking to borrow a shovel and gas can. Muxlow's fater allegedly heard a woman's voice screaming "Call the cops", which King told him to ignore.
