Screaming woman seen 'being abducted from her own doorstep' in chilling CCTV footage

In the clip, recorded at around 2am on Sunday, a woman could be seen resisting as a man pulled her out of frame in Wichita, in the Sunflower State's south.

Local police went on to launch an urgent plea for help identifying the woman involved.

Wichita Police Captain Aaron Moses told Fox News the clip had given his team "a strong starting point" in their bid to find her and ensure she was safe.

"The challenge is, this is the only piece of evidence that we have at this time," Captain Moses said. "We think someone out there does recognise her."

Speculation had surged that the apparent kidnapping was cartel-related - but police were quick to caution there was no indication of a link to organised crime.

Now, the force has revealed that the woman involved had stepped forward to contact police.

At around 3pm on Tuesday, investigators received a phone call from a woman claiming to be the individual seen in the video.

"Investigators immediately responded to her location, made contact and transported her to City Hall so detectives could conduct a victim interview," the Wichita Police Department said in a statement.

Police went on to ID the woman as a 35-year-old resident of North Volusia, the area where the video was recorded.

The statement continued: "At this stage of the investigation, we believe this incident is a case of domestic violence where the female was victimised by her boyfriend."

Police also confirmed the woman involved had not suffered any serious injuries.

Detectives are still carrying out interviews - with the case set to be handed to the appropriate attorney's office where charges could be put forward.

Police also hailed the public for spreading the video online, confirming: "We do believe it led the female to call us saying she was the person we were looking for."

But in an urgent warning similar to one issued over missing Australian boy Gus Lamont, police cautioned the public not to be fooled by AI-generated fakes.

On social media, so-called "enhanced" images had circulated purporting to reveal the faces of the man and woman in the clip.

But Captain Moses affirmed these images were not authentic - and could have harmed the investigation.

AI "can generate erroneous tips and information that’s not verified by a human being", he said.

"Anything that comes from another source has not been verified, and we cannot confirm the accuracy or the validity of that information."
