On July 2, 2010, Johanna Dillon was abducted from her apartment by a woman named Alexis Tori, who had been stalking Dillon online. Tori, posing as Dillon, had been gathering personal information about her victim, including her address, work schedule, and daily routines. On the day of the kidnapping, Tori entered Dillon's apartment, bound her, and gagged her, before taking her to a remote location.
