 Now, after pulling the vehicle over in a gas station parking lot, Phillips was taken into custody after a brief standoff. Outside the gas station, a woman approached the trooper and handed him a note that she had received from the victim while both were in the bathroom. The note had asked the person to phone her daughter and call in the missing car, and the suspect had had her phone. Following interviews with Phillips and the victim, it was determined that she was being held against her will and had been subject to multiple assaults.
