Woman escapes from kidnapper

A woman escaped after being held captive for three days by a man she had once dated. Lori S. Wagner, 41 worked as a dispatcher for Nu-Way Transportation Service where she met truck driver Michael J. Diekhoff, age 42. However, she later charged him with harassing phone calls and he is the prime suspect in an arson investigation surrounding an incident where home was set on fire. In Bloomington, IL., at approximately 6 am on January 6th, she was allegedly abducted from her company’s parking lot as she arrived for work. Co-workers called the police when her car and cell phone were found outside in the lot but she was not at her desk. She was taken across state-lines but escaped from his truck on January 8th in Sioux Falls, S.D. Diekhoff had previously served 10 years in an Indiana prison for attempting to murder a former girlfriend with a handgun.
