Woman Thought to Be Kidnapped Found Unharmed

PALESTINE – Palestine Police are no longer investigating a possible kidnapping. According to a police news release, around 2:00 this morning, both Natalie Pipkin and Christopher Calhoun were located in Pipkin’s 1999 Honda Accord near Pearland. An officer with the Pearland Police Department interviewed both Pipkin and Calhoun separately and determined Pipkin was not taken against her will. The Palestine Police Department has determined Pipkin is not considered missing-endangered and has cleared the case. Officers received a call from the family of Natalie Pipkin, 37, who did not pick up her 6-month-old child Thursday night. After several attempts, the family reached Pipkin who said she was traveling with her ex-boyfriend, Christopher Calhoun, 28, Palestine, to the Dallas-Fort Worth area. Calhoun, who has been arrested for aggravated kidnapping in 2015, was considered to be dangerous.
