Kidnapped triathlete says she sweet-talked captor into letting her go
A champion Austrian triathlete says a van driver kidnapped her while on a bike ride — but that she managed to sweet-talk him into letting her go from his home where he held her captive.
Nathalie Birli, 27, was training on her bike Tuesday evening near her home in Graz when she was knocked unconscious by a red delivery van, The Times reported.
Authorities were able to use the GPS tracking on Birli’s racing bike to locate the suspect. The 33-year-old man — whose name hasn’t been released — was arrested at his home, authorities said.
