Man, woman charged with kidnapping, holding woman captive for weeks in Texas

Police in Texas arrested a pair accused of kidnapping an 18-year-old woman and holding her captive for about a month, officials said Monday. 

The victim escaped on Sunday night, Harris County Constable Mark Herman said. The suspects had left the home for a short time, giving the woman a brief window to escape.

"She knew they both had left and knew that was her time," Herman said.
