(June 27, 2008)—Timothy Smith, 44, was in the Bosque County Jail Friday, charged with aggravated kidnapping, aggravated sexual assault and unauthorized use of a motor vehicle in the kidnapping and rape of a Central Texas real estate agent.
The charges stem from an incident on Wednesday in which the agent went to meet a man who said he wanted to list his late parents’ home for sale.
The man kidnapped the woman, tied her up and blindfolded her, drove her to his house and forced her to call relatives for ransom.
He also raped her, authorities said.
Family members contacted the Bosque County Sheriff’s Office, which in turn requested a helicopter from the McLennan County Sheriff’s Office.
The helicopter pilot spotted the realtor’s vehicle at the first residence, but there was no trace of the woman.
Later another man flagged a deputy down and said he had come home early and had found a woman in the house.
The woman turned out to be the kidnapped real estate agent.
The man told officers his roommate had taken his pickup.
Deputies arrested Smith a short time later.
The victim was taken to a local hospital where she was treated and later released.

Just hand them the key and stay in the office. Or better yet, let them know you are armed just in case they get any ideas. In this day and time. I agree, this has become a very dangerous profession and you never know who is a nut case.

Regardless of whether it was rape or sexual assault, this creep got joy from terrifying an innocent woman. No punishment is too severe. He needs to be locked up. I wonder how many more have suffered at his hands. GET HIM OFF THE STREETS!

I'm just glad it wasn't an illegal mexican. The uproar would be ten-fold.
