Michael King was charged with kidnapping this morning and booked into the Sarasota County Jail without bond, North Port Police Capt. Robert Estrada said.

As Estrada walked out of the North Port Police Department this morning the press cornered him and asked him dozens of questions about King's alleged abduction of a 21-year-old North Port woman who is still missing.

King was taken to the jail at about 7 a.m.

Estrada told the press King is an outdoorsman and area law enforcement agencies continue searching areas off Salford Boulevard near Interstate 75. Officers set up a command post near there. Officers are using ATVs, officers on horseback and K-9 units to search the uninhabited, wooded area.

Officers have search warrants for King's house and the car they took into custody. That car is at the North Port Police Department. Officers were reportedly searching his home on Sardinia Street by 9:45 a.m.

POSTED at 7 a.m.

Authorities are searching for a 21-year-old woman who was believed to have been abducted from a home in North Port Estates on Thursday afternoon by a man in his 30s.

At 9:20 p.m., Florida Highway Patrol reportedly had a suspect, Michael King, in custody at mile marker 178 on Interstate 75 southbound. However, the abducted woman was not with him. FHP reported King was "completely soaking wet." According to police, they found a shovel in the vehicle, also wet, as well as a woman's ring.

After being taken into custody, King claimed he himself had been kidnapped, then told authorities he was represented by counsel and would not answer any questions.

K-9 units and dozens of law enforcement officers were searching nearby lakes and wooded areas where tire tracks had been observed. The search was called off around 2 a.m.

According to the North Port Police Department, Denise Amber Lee, 21, was last seen mid-afternoon Thursday. When her husband came home to their Latour Avenue home, he found the couple's two children there but his wife was missing.

According to North Port police, the suspect, King, lives on Sardinia Avenue. He was said to be driving a 1994 green Chevy Camaro, with a black bra attached to the front.

Sometime Thursday evening, King reportedly visited a relative of his who lives off Biscayne Drive. The relative told police he saw a woman tied up in the car. King reportedly asked the relative for a shovel, a gas can and a flashlight, which the relative gave him.

Police also reported the woman was able to make a call to 911, using her abductor's cell phone without his knowledge. She said she had been kidnapped and was unable to see.

Comment:
This story does not look like it will have a promising outcome. Let us all pray it does. I think I read her father is a narcotics officer so maybe King had a beef with him and took his daughter.
*Sidenote FUp- A stay-at-home mom, Lee is the daughter of Richard Goff, the former head of the Charlotte County Sheriff's Office narcotics bureau.


Information Line:
Anyone with information on this case is urged to call North Port police at 941-426-3111.

The remains of Denise have been found and King has been charged to date with kidnapping. At least this time the husband did not kill his wife. I feel sorry for him to have lost his wife and soul mate.

May Denise rest in peace.

I wonder what King's motive was to kill Denise and if she did know him or if he is just another psycho like all the rest of them. I hope he gets the DP.
