The victim was heading to her vehicle, parked outside her workplace, when she was approached by an unknown man and forced into his vehicle.
The victim's family was then notified that she had been taken.
During their investigation, police learned a second victim had also been kidnapped several hours after the first, allegedly as an act of retaliation.
The second victim, a woman in her 50s, had been taken from a southeast Calgary home at gunpoint.
Both women were held at separate Calgary homes rented through Airbnb until Thursday, May 4.
