DeKalb County, GA - REALTOR Abducted and Brutalized by Man - 4/6/06

A Keller Williams REALTOR was contacted by a man at her office in Brookhaven, GA.  The agent met with the man at a conference room at her brokerage, where he attacked her with a knife and threatened the safety of others in her office if he did not take her to see some properties.  The two properties he asked to see turned out to be vacant.  The man forced the agent to take him to an ATM machine, where she was only able to withdraw $1,500 for him. 

Bolt writes in her statement:

“He then hit me in the jaw, and said I needed to come up with $5,000 because my life depended on it. I told him I'd go to a jewelry store and buy diamonds for him to pawn. He said not to try any funny stuff because my life depended on it. Hit me again. Pulled the knife against my leg. Asked if I could feel it. Told me I was a lying ----- ---- because I coudn't get money out of the ATM.”
 

Store video shows Bolt and the suspect entering Carnigie Jewelers at The Forum, at the Norcross shopping center. 

Bolt wrote, “Said he'd use the gun to blow me to bits. Told me my life depended on me keeping my --- lying mouth shut about this, and that his people were watching. If I did anything stupid, he'd use the knife to dismember me before putting a bullet in my brain.”

Holding her hand tightly, the suspect forced Bolt to purchase a $7,500 Rolex in seven minutes. Employees called 911 immediately after the pair left.  Botel was left at an Eckerd's near her office. where she walked to her office to get help.

It is believe this same man went to a Coldwell Banker office near Buckhead and tried to get a real estate agent to go with him.
