Gilroy – Police on Thursday arrested the man suspected of kidnapping a 16-year-old girl Sunday and attempting to kidnap another woman Saturday.
Ebony Carter, the missing girl, still had not been found as of Friday night.
She was believed to be hiding, apparently afraid for her safety, police said.
About midnight Wednesday, Carter called her sister from her cell phone. Her sister connected the Gilroy Police Department to the call and Carter told police she had been kidnapped, and provided them with the name of her alleged kidnapper.
Police investigators tracked the suspect, Benjamin Teutsch, 29, to an address on Conway Street in Milpitas, where he was arrested about 5am Thursday by Milpitas police without incident.
While talking with police, Carter said she was hiding, and would remain there until Teutsch was in custody. She did not say where she was.
