How alleged victim's notes in public bathrooms led to her rescue

Corey Brewer was arrested on charges including sexual assault, strangulation and unlawful restraint.

An alleged sexual assault victim who says she was held against her will for months was rescued after she left notes in public restrooms pleading for help, according to authorities. In one note she wrote, "If I don't make it tell my family I love them," according to a criminal complaint. Police say the first cry for help was found Thursday, stuck to a mirror in the women's bathroom of a Walmart in Carnegie, Pennsylvania, outside Pittsburgh. The note was from a woman who said she had been sexually and physically assaulted, and was being held against her will, by 38-year-old Corey Brewer, who was armed with a knife, according to the complaint. The note also gave an address where she was being held and a description of a car, and begged the reader to call 911.
