PASADENA, Texas — Pasadena police said they have identified the woman seen on video being chased by a speeding SUV through a park.
Pasadena Police Sgt. Raul Granados said he believes the incident was a domestic issue and although they have not located the woman in the video, detectives have spoken to some of her immediate family members who confirmed they have seen her as recently as Monday.
Police are hoping to speak to the woman to figure out what happened the day she was seen running away from a vehicle that was chasing her through Satsuma Park on Feb. 25. They are also looking for any information on the driver of the vehicle.
The woman could be heard screaming as the SUV, which police believe is a gray Ford Escape, chased after her.
It wasn't clear what happened after she ran out of the camera's view.
The video came from a nearby resident's surveillance camera.
That resident did not want to be identified but spoke to KHOU 11 News.
“I can’t get the sound of her screams out of my head,” the camera owner said. “It was so horrible. To see her running and screaming ... you can tell she’s terrified trying to get away.”
“Once she goes into the wooded area you can hear her screaming again and you can faintly hear him telling her to get in the car,” she said.
The camera owner said she called the police when she realized what had happened by watching the footage a few minutes after the incident.
Granados said officers responded to a call last Friday morning, but they weren’t aware of the video and didn’t interview the resident who called the incident in. On Monday morning, investigators saw the video and reopened the investigation.
“We want to make sure that she’s OK first and foremost,” Granados said. “We heard the scream at the end. We don’t know if he hit her with a vehicle. We don’t know if she screamed because he stopped and put her in the vehicle.”
Pasadena police posted the video to their social media pages, where it has been shared thousands of times and has hundreds of comments, many of which voice concern for the young woman.
