San Jose Police Department

A 14-year-old girl was kidnapped and brought to a San Jose motel, but police said the teen used the social media app Snapchat to free herself from the kidnappers.

The San Jose Police Department said in a news release that the 14-year-old, whose name was withheld, encountered 55-year-old Albert Thomas Vasquez in Capitola on Tuesday. Vasquez allegedly "gave the victim drugs," and with the assistance of 34-year-old Antonio Quirino Salvador and 31-year-old Hediberto Gonzalez Avarenga, put the incapacitated victim in a vehicle against her will.
