Woman kidnapped outside Detroit hospital; suspect remains at large

Correction: An earlier version of this story said the victim was in her mid-30s based on preliminary information given by police.

A 29-year-old woman was kidnapped this morning from a parking area outside of a Detroit hospital and the suspect remains at large, Detroit police said.

Patrice Wilson was kidnapped at about 7:40 a.m. Saturday in the 4200 block of St. Antoine St., a Detroit police news release said.

The suspect is Jamere Miller, 36, who is considered armed and dangerous, police said. Miller is believed to be driving a black 2020 Lincoln Nautilus with Michigan plate OPKS20.

Wilson was reported to have been a nurse at a local hospital and was getting into the driver's side of her vehicle when the suspect approached, Detroit Police Capt. Donna Mccord said at a news conference Saturday afternoon.

Miller got inside the vehicle, forced Wilson over and fled south towards Interstate 75 and Mack Avenue. He was last seen wearing a blond wig, McCord said.

"We're ... seeking their safe return," McCord said. "We're asking that Mr. Miller will turn himself in or contact the Detroit Police Department at 596-2260, or he can also turn himself in at any local station."

McCord said Wilson and Miller may have had a domestic relationship but confirmed that Wilson was forced to go with him.

McCord asked anyone with information to contact CrimeStoppers of Michigan at 1-800-SPEAKUP to report tips anonymously or Detroit Police at 313-596-2260.

Major crimes detectives are actively working on the case and all information is preliminary and subject to change, McCord said.
