The chilling scene was captured on surveillance video, and the suspected kidnapper was later shown using Freeland-Gaither\u2019s credit card at an ATM.<\/p>\n<p>These stories seldom turn out well. Thanks in part to GPS, this one did.<\/p>\n<p>(It should be noted that it also turned out well because of Freeland-Gaither, who kicked out a window of the car, left her cellphone at the scene and survived. The suspected kidnapper is a convicted felon who is also suspected of hitting a 16-year-old girl on the head with a shovel and dousing her with bleach.)<\/p>\n<p>Depending on which version you read, police either saw the license plate or a dealership sticker on the kidnapper\u2019s getaway car or a car salesman contacted authorities after he saw ATM video of the suspect, whom he recognized as someone who bought a car from his dealership. Either way, it was determined that the kidnapper\u2019s car had been bought from a Buy Here, Pay Here dealership in Virginia and was equipped with a GPS device.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Arkansas Business: Car-Mart Uses GPS To Improve \u2018Efficiency&#8217; by Marty Cook:<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[17,42],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-14380","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-gps-tracking-data","category-informational-privacy"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"http:\/\/fourthamendment.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/14380","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"http:\/\/fourthamendment.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"http:\/\/fourthamendment.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/fourthamendment.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/fourthamendment.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=14380"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"http:\/\/fourthamendment.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/14380\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":14381,"href":"http:\/\/fourthamendment.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/14380\/revisions\/14381"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"http:\/\/fourthamendment.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=14380"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/fourthamendment.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=14380"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/fourthamendment.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=14380"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
