\"\"<\/a>KILGORE — A Kilgore College Rangerette kidnapped at gunpoint was choked to the point she passed out and tied up with tape inside a storage building. According to KETK and the Longview News-Journal, the victim, Alexa Blair, 19, was able to remove the tape, escape from the building and call police. Responding officers saw “visible injuries to her neck and face” when they found her. The cell phone search warrant, which Gregg County District Clerk records indicate was returned in March, offers new details in the Dec. 29, 2016 kidnapping of Rangerettes Director Dana Blair’s daughter Alexa from their Longview home in the 2100 block of Airline Drive.<\/p>\n

Police have arrested and charged Nancy Alice Motes, 57, with aggravated kidnapping. She was booked into the Rusk County Jail on Dec. 30 and released on $500,000 bond the same day.<\/p>\n

Longview police were called to the Blair home just before 6:15 p.m. Dec. 29 to a reported robbery in progress. They later learned a woman had entered the home and kidnapped Alexa at gunpoint. the search warrant details how Motes had come to the house and asked for Alexa. Motes was wearing a wig and holding a cardboard snowman poster or picture frame near her face, which police said was left at the house and collected as evidence, according to the warrant.<\/p>\n

Dana Blair had answered the door, and when Alexa came to the front of the house, Motes pulled a gun from her pocket and told both women to go into another room, the warrant said. Motes told the women to kneel, then told Alexa to bind her mother’s hands with tape. Motes then demanded keys and both women’s cell phones. Alexa Blair and Motes left the room when Alexa asked to be allowed to put on shoes. At that point, Dana Blair was able to escape from her bindings and run of out the house to get help from a neighbor. Blair and the neighbor called 911 thinking it was a home invasion \u00e2\u20ac\u201d but Motes and Blair’s daughter were gone when Blair went back to the house.<\/p>\n

About an hour after the kidnapping, Alexa Blair was able to break free and call police from a location in Rusk County. She said she had been placed in a storage building but was able to escape and jump a fence to get to safety.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
