The kidnapping happened on Aug. 5 on Lost Canyon Road, near Harriman Drive. According to the Los Angeles County Sheriff's Department, the woman was able to escape shortly after, but the suspect remains at large.

Authorities released a composite sketch of the kidnapper, whose face in the sketch is unfortunately mostly obscured by a face mask. He was described as a 5-foot-7, 185-pound Hispanic man with a muscular build, brown hair, and brown eyes and his vehicle was described as a white, 1990s 4-door sedan.

Anyone with information about the kidnapping or the suspect can call Detective McCarthy at (661) 799-5149.
