Police: Missing Woman Recently Arrested

Police said the missing DeKalb County woman, Monica Bowie, was arrested last month on felony drug and weapons charges. She disappeared on Thursday night -- and was possibly kidnapped -- from her own apartment complex off Roxboro Road.

On Friday night, police found the car that may have been involved in her disappearance. Other residents said they saw a car speeding out of the complex -- a burgundy, Mercury Sable -- inside the car, two men, in their late 20s or early 30s. One of the men was heavy-set with a beard. Police said they found evidence of a struggle in the parking deck. DeKalb County detectives are examining that car, looking for fingerprints and other possible evidence.

Just after 11 p.m. Thursday, residents of the Berkshire at Lenox Park Apartments heard the desperate screams of a woman in danger. They were possibly the screams of their neighbor, Bowie, 34, who, as they realized soon after, had vanished.

Her screams pierced the buildings' concrete block walls into every apartment nearby.

"All my windows were shut, my door was shut; I live on the second floor," said neighbor Brian Butler. "You could hear the shrills like she was in my house. I mean, that's how loud she was screaming."

Butler ran outside to try to see what was happening, but he just heard more screams.

"'Help me, help me, I need help'," Butler said the voice screamed. "Then it just stopped."

"Some different items that were strewn about in the parking lot," said DeKalb County Assistant Police Chief Mike Burroughs. "We're hoping she [Bowie] just turns up and maybe it was a domestic argument with her boyfriend. We're hoping something like that occurred."

Finding the possible getaway car may help police find Bowie and the two suspects. But detectives said they still hope that anyone with information will call DeKalb County police.
