GLENDALE — Police have issued arrest warrants for three people accused of kidnapping and torturing a woman who had been partying with them before her abduction.
Glendale police said the victim was kidnapped and taken to an apartment in the south metro area.
Once there, she was bound, gagged, blindfolded and beaten repeatedly for nearly 20 hours. Then, her abductors released her.
The victim, a woman in her 20s, showed 9News where the skin on her face is peeling from where her captors ripped off the duct tape they had wrapped around her head.
The bone under her right eye is broken, and there are cigarette burns on her stomach.
According to police, there was no motive for the kidnapping and the assaults.
The three suspects — 22-year-old Kalena Joeckel (a.k.a. Kalena Rodriguez), 22-year-old Kelly Mahana (a.k.a. Choice) and 19-year-old Jessica Ecsedy — are considered to be extremely violent and may be armed.
The woman said she considered Joeckel a friend. She never considered she’d be in danger by socializing with her or any of her friends.
Anyone with information is urged to call Glendale police at 303-639-4328. 9News
