Man Tries To Abduct Florida Woman In Broad Daylight, Then Suddenly Flees

Last Updated: The man was arrested and charged with kidnapping, robbery, and grand theft auto. A terrifying incident caught on camera in Florida has left many shocked, as disturbing footage shows a man attempting to drag a woman towards his Toyota Tacoma pickup truck. The suspect, later identified as Theodore Michael Tundidor, is seen forcibly pulling the woman in broad daylight. According to the surveillance video, released by the St. Johns County Sheriff's Office, the incident took place at around 3:30 pm local time on June 29 outside a retail store. The woman, who has not been identified, can be seen screaming for help as her would-be kidnapper tries to abduct her. After struggling for some time, the woman receives help from a bystander who calls 911 for police intervention. However, as soon as the suspect realises that he could be arrested for the incident, he flees the scene within moments. The Post states that the man was arrested and charged with kidnapping, robbery, and grand theft auto. He allegedly attempted to commit a robbery at the St Augustine retail store, before forcing a female employee outside and dragging her towards his pickup truck. The woman did not give up and continued crying and shouting in the hope of getting assistance from passers-by. As per police, 'The victim in this situation did everything right — scream/yell, fight, attract attention." Realising the consequences of the 911 call, the suspect managed to flee the scene before the St. Johns County Sheriff's team arrived. However, his pickup truck was spotted by officers while he was driving recklessly on Route A1A. The Florida Fish and Wildlife officers took Theodore into custody in the case. However, it was not easy, and the sheriff's office recalled arresting him after a high-speed chase. The Florida Fish and Wildlife added additional charges against Theodore, claiming that he attempted to evade law enforcement and was driving under the influence. Further details on the investigation are still awaited. The woman has been praised for her quick thinking and response during the attempted kidnapping. Authorities commended her for acting swiftly and attracting the attention of a bystander who ultimately helped her. view comments First Published: Disclaimer: Comments reflect users' views, not News18's.

'He wants to live in this world': Edmonton paramedic's infant son in need of heart transplant

As a paramedic, JC Apuada is trained to stay calm under pressure. But nothing could prepare him for the moment when his three-week-old boy's heart stopped beating. Apuada performed CPR and helped save young Oliver's life but, over the past 53 days, his son has been fighting to stay alive through five more cardiac arrest episodes. Doctors at the Stollery Children's Hospital are still trying to diagnose what's causing his heart to give out. 'I just remember walking into the door with my (older) son Theodore after picking him up from daycare, and I heard my wife saying, 'Can you come here quick?' ' recalled Apuada. 'I went to the living room, and she was holding Oliver, and he just looked like a different baby. He was colourless, and he was barely breathing. She was asking if he was OK, and I just remember saying, 'I don't know.' 'We called 911, and I started CPR. It was so scary.' After being rushed to the Stollery, doctors stabilized Oliver and performed a series of tests, but the following day he went into cardiac arrest again. He was put on an Ecmo (Extracorporeal Membrane Oxygenation) machine, which is a life support system for patients with severe heart problems. It stabilized his heart for a period of time, but he continued to have cardiac arrest episodes — a pattern all the more mysterious because Oliver's twin sister has experienced no issues. 'They told us that this isn't sustainable anymore, which was very hard for us to hear,' said Apuada. 'When we've got a perfectly healthy twin baby (girl) at home, and our toddler is also healthy. They just kept telling us, 'We don't know what's causing this to happen.' ' Doctors told Apuada and his wife Britni that their next option was to place Oliver with a Berlin heart, which is a ventricular-assist device. Oliver had to go through open heart surgery, and now has two external pumps that act as his heart. Doctors have done a multitude of tests, including genetic testing on Oliver, JC and Britni, and also performed a biopsy during the open-heart surgery. Each test came back normal. Now, JC and Britni have been told that the best course of action for their infant is for him to receive a new heart. 'They still don't have any answers,' said Apuada. 'It still doesn't really feel real. It's like we're living a nightmare, and we just can't wake up from it.' Oliver will be placed on a donor list, but because of his age, they could be waiting for as long as up to two years. Through all of the cardiac arrests, Oliver's heart has been shocked a total of nine times. 'I remember having a talk with my wife, and it hurts me to say, but when one of the arrests happened, they ended up shocking his heart twice, and I remember hearing my wife saying, 'I don't think he's going to make it,' and in the back of my head, I didn't know if he was going to come out of it — but he has,' said Apuada. 'It's been a wild roller-coaster. Just going from the lowest of the lows, and then you see him improve. But throughout all of this, all you have is hope to hold onto.' The Apuadas have been thrown so much information, and faced decisions no parents should ever have to go through. JC admits they probably haven't processed everything they're truly going through right now — but they're staying as strong as they can despite so many unknowns. A GoFundme has been set up to help support the family. 'The Stollery doctors are some of the best in the world. They're experts. But the reality is when those experts are telling us we don't have an answer for you, it's very hard,' said Apuada. 'We're going to proceed with a transplant, and he will get a new heart, but even then, they don't know if his body is going to do the same thing, because right now, they don't have answers.' Apuada said his wife had no issues throughout the pregnancy. Outside of some minor hypertension one week before giving birth that led to her having a C-section, every ultrasound, blood work and other test came back with no concerns when Oliver and his twin sister Eloise were born. They didn't have any complications when their oldest son was born, either. Oliver remains in hospital, and as the Apuadas wait for him to be stabilized enough to go home, they also wait for that call for a new heart. That's crystallized the stark reality of their situation, but also made them feel proud of Oliver, who keeps fighting despite having spent more time in hospital than at home in his young life. 'In order for Oliver to have a new heart, another family somewhere would have to go through a situation way worse than what we've gone through so far and I remember Britni saying that it's hard, because we were so close to being that family, too,' said Apuada. 'We take a lot of inspiration from Oliver. He wants to live in this world, and he's fighting for it and we're doing the best we can to do whatever it takes to get him through this.' jhills@ One year, four babies and a 'Village' of love: Edmonton quadruplets' family grateful for outpouring of support Cooking with heart: Chef mentoring Ukrainian newcomers at Edmonton kitchen 'You know the grief they're living': Foundation supplying care packages to Alberta organ donor families

Wisconsin football class of 2026 cornerback target commits to SEC power

Wisconsin football top class of 2026 cornerback target Jamyan Theodore committed to the Tennessee Volunteers on Tuesday. Theodore, who received his offer from Luke Fickell's program back on Feb. 11, elected to join Josh Heupel and the Volunteers over finalists Wisconsin, Louisville and Ole Miss. The 6-foot, 171-pound defensive back officially visited Madison the weekend of June 6, preceding visits with the Rebels (June 10), Volunteers (June 13) and Cardinals (June 20). The Chattanooga, Tennessee, native was projected to land in Knoxville by 247Sports analyst Nick Osen on June 30. On3's recruiting prediction machine also pegged the Volunteers as a heavy favorite with over an 86% chance to land the three-star cornerback. In addition to his three-star profile, 247Sports considers Theodore the No. 768 overall recruit, the No. 64 cornerback and the No. 20 player from his home state of Tennessee for the class of 2026. During his 2024 slate at Baylor High School, the rising senior logged five interceptions, two pick-sizes and 18 pass breakups. Here's 247Sports' scouting analyst Gabe Brooks's analysis of what Theodore -- a two-sport athlete in football and track -- brings to the gridiron: "Hyper-aware cornerback prospect with valuable two-way experience and corresponding ball skills. Adept at breaking on throws from off coverage and will get mitts in the catch window even if the INT isn't there... Could provide flexibility in the secondary with anticipatory acumen and ball-hawking play style that translate to safety and nickel as well. Displays the desired competitive field demeanor for the corner position... Projects to the Power Four level as a natural corner with potential position flexibility who could become a quality starter with special teams value.: While Theodore's decision is somewhat of a disappointment for Badger fans, it doesn't come as much of a surprise. As of July 1, Wisconsin's class of 2026 boasts the No. 38 ranking in the country and No. 13 position in the Big Ten with 15 players committed. Three-star cornerback Carsen Eloms and three-star safety Zachary Taylor are the only defensive backs to pledge their commitments to Wisconsin this cycle to date.

Vogue Williams admits she has a ‘big mouth' as she talks life at home, her new book and over-sharing

Vogue Williams has launched a new book while recording podcasts, running a business and being mum to three kids… but she wouldn't have it any other way It's been a minute since we last caught up with the always-candid entrepreneur and mum-of-three, but true to form, the 39-year-old isn't holding back as she chats tanning traumas, turning 40, and why she'll never have her sh*t together. 'I once went into school with luminous orange hands and I remember just covering them for the full week with my jumper!' she laughs, recalling her early tanning fail. 'Back then, we didn't have proper tan removal gels, so we were using bleach. How bad is that?' These kinds of stories — self-deprecating, hilarious, unfiltered — are part of why she has a staggering 1.1 million followers on Instagram. And they're also the reason her tanning brand, Bare by Vogue, has exploded in popularity. 'We are a small country, but we are so into our tan. Irish girls do it incredibly well, and I'm always buzzing when someone tells me they're wearing Bare by Vogue — it makes me so proud.' Vogue and her hubby Spencer married in 2018 But tanning isn't the only thing Vogue's got going on. She recently launched her debut book Big Mouth, while also recording three hit podcasts, parenting three kids, and running successful businesses. Add to that TV work, influencer campaigns, a fitness app, a fiction-writing course, and an ever-growing radio presence, and you've got someone who is undeniably operating in overdrive. Still, Vogue insists she's not as put-together as she might seem. 'Sometimes I look at other people and say, 'How do they have it all together?' But let's be real: no one has it together all the time. We actually love the chaos in our house; it keeps things fun,' admits the star who married Spencer Matthews of Made in Chelsea fame in 2018, after meeting on Channel 4's The Jump. 'There's always something going on. I try to be organised by laying out school uniforms and packing their water bottles the night before — anything to save those few minutes, particularly on Monday mornings when I have run club with Theodore and we have to be out the door super early.' The uber-organised star, who is mum to Theodore, Gigi and Otto, may enjoy a schedule, but if there is one person that isn't so into structure, it's her co-host and best friend, comedian Joanne McNally. The duo are the force behind the chart-topping podcast My Therapist Ghosted Me — a no-filter, weekly rollercoaster through personal overshares, unsolicited advice, and truly unhinged listener stories. 'I don't think Joanne or myself ever thought that the podcast would take off the way it did,' Vogue admits. 'But we love doing it, and I think that shows. It doesn't feel like work because we genuinely have such a laugh, but we do put a lot of effort into every episode.' Vogue and her podcast co-host Joanne She beams as she talks about Joanne, whose high-octane energy and every day misadventures are, apparently, part of her charm. 'Joanne is completely unpredictable and full of energy — I love her chaotic nature, I never know where she's going to be next! Her ability to nap anywhere is second to none, just like my husband Spencer's. I would really love to have that talent.' While much of her public persona is rooted in humour and glamour, Big Mouth, her new memoir, reveals a deeper, more vulnerable side, touching on everything from childhood insecurity to adult anxiety. Vogue writes openly about the life-altering loss of her father at 24. She discusses the lifelong grip of anxiety, the invasive thoughts that used to rob her of sleep, and the fear of not being enough. There are also honest reflections on her divorce from Brian McFadden. 'I love writing — I find it really therapeutic,' she says. 'It's the only time that I actually sit and concentrate on one thing and my brain isn't full of a million things. It has just got that one focus, so for me it feels really meditative, in a way, to write.' Vogue Williams Today's News in 90 Seconds - June 30th The book never shies away from deeply personal moments, but never feels too heavy — in true Vogue fashion, there's plenty of laughter between the heartbreak. 'It explores things I don't usually talk about, like grief and anxiety, and I hope readers feel seen in those moments,' she adds. 'There's also a nostalgic nod to Irish life, which I think a lot of people will connect with.' That Irish connection is central to who she is. 'I adore Ireland — everyone knows how obsessed I am, it's a topic I could talk about endlessly,' she grins. 'I want my kids to love it too and to have strong ties here. My brother moved away at 11 years of age and doesn't really have the same connection now, so I make a big effort with my children. They've built friendships here, and that means everything.' When they're back, Howth is home. 'My house there is my happy place,' she says. 'The cliff walks, meals with friends, just hanging out.' Cork is another favourite, especially for family trips to Fota Island and check-ins with the Bare by Vogue team. With her milestone birthday just around the corner, she admits the moment feels surreal — but not scary. 'I thought I would be dreading it, but I'm not,' she says. 'It feels surreal, like, how did that happen? But I see it as a privilege to age and to be able to say that I am turning 40. I'm happy — I love my family, my job, my friends, so turning 40 just feels like a celebration of where I am right now.' Looking ahead, she's keeping things creative. 'I can see myself doing more radio, I really enjoy that side of things,' she says. 'And I'm planning to dive into fiction writing this summer. I've started a course and drafted some early bits already. I'm not putting pressure on myself like I did with the last book — I want to enjoy the process and see where it takes me.' . Always exfoliate before applying tan — I love our Luxury Exfoliating Mitt (RRP €9) and Express Tan Removal Gel (RRP €19). From day two or three, keep exfoliating lightly so the tan fades evenly. Moisturise your hands, ankles, and elbows really well — those are the giveaway spots. I love using a thick moisturiser like Nivea for that. I apply my tan to my arms first, then buff out the excess with our Bare Body Brush (RRP €20), especially around the ankles.
