DEXTER, Minn. -- Authorities say they have located a woman who was believed to be kidnapped by her estranged boyfriend from a gas station in Mower County.
The search for 22-year-old Jessica Piland was called off shortly before 9 p.m. Wednesday when the Bureau of Criminal Apprehension (BCA) reported she was found safe.
Investigators say Piland went to meet her ex-boyfriend at the Lake Geo Travel Plaza on Main Street in Dexter around 3:45 p.m. Wednesday.
A friend drove Piland to the Travel Plaza. The friend says the ex-boyfriend grabbed and pushed Piland into his car and sped away.
The BCA has not said where Piland was found, or if the ex-boyfriend faces any criminal charges.
