Update: The Valrico woman kidnapped by her estranged husband has been found alive.

The Hillsborough County Sheriff said Alisa Summers, 37, was found Monday morning in an area of Ruskin. Sheriff David Gee said a person spotted Alisa’s dark blue Saturn Outlook and called police.

Alisa ran from the car as soon as she realized police were converging on the car, Gee said. Investigators believe Summers was taken against her will on Saturday by Trevor Summers.

During a news conference, Gee said Trevor was able to convince the couple's 14 year old daughter into leaving a window open, so he could talk to Alisa. What happened next is unclear, but the sheriff said at some point the teen took the couple's other children out of the house and drove Trevor's car to his current residence. Alisa has a cut wound on her hand and is currently in the hospital. Trevor suffered a self-inflicted knife wound to the throat, according to Gee.
