A daughter watches in horror as her mother is kidnapped from their home by intruders posing as deliverymen. "CBS Mornings" lead national correspondent David Begnaud reports for "48 Hours." Watch more full episodes of "48 Hours" on Pluto TV.

"What was so unique about this story is that it happened in my home town. For me, as a young boy watching '48 Hours,' I dreamt of telling a story in my hometown and this was that. Most often than not '48 Hours' involves tragic endings and deaths, but this was a happy ending for the victim because she survived to tell her story." — David Begnaud on why this story is important.

    Those kidnappers drowning in their attempted escape is some seriously beautiful poetic justice
  • @mdeysenroth
    All that she went through and did NOT Start using again shows what a strong woman she is.
  • @Miriboheme
    not only did this woman survive an unimaginable ordeal, but she took her hard-earned money and gave it straight back to her community. such a beautiful human.
  • @Deborahs.6992
    Despite his addiction issues, Michael had the mental stability to organize his plan to harm Schanda. Insanity my arse, just narcissism at its finest. Officer Martin is the epitome of what law enforcement should be. 🙏🏻 for Schanda and Isabella.
  • Huge respect for this police officer, Chad Martin ! He saved her life.
  • @suedennis9990
    This is the perfect example of a REAL police officer. .. No laziness here.
  • @JJ-mp5ye
    This is literally the best story to turn into an amazing movie. The twists and turns as well as how the suspects died and the recording of him and them.

    Shaunda, this is a long shot because i know there will be probably thousands of comments out there but if by chance you are reading this, THANK YOU for your heart of gold. as a childhood domestic violence survivor i am in awe of your tenacity and strength and i'm so beyond thankful you are safe and well (as much as you can be considering the unimaginable horror you've been through). obviously i'm sure that you are working very hard to stay safe so i would never want to try to find your info or anything like that. but just thank you. i can't put into words what an inspiration you are to me and i know so many others. i truly do hope that you and your daughter continue to stay safe and enjoy all of life's most beautiful moments together. god bless you. please know that you are loved and supported by your survivor sisters worldwide. thank you.
  • It’s really sad that it took her getting kidnapped for people to open their eyes and help her. How many other women and men suffer the same type of terror.
  • Imagine! He did this heroic act while off-duty!!! Give Chad Martin a medal!!!! What happened was so random and extraordinary!!
  • @coffeechi1869
    Thank God for protecting this woman. A real miracle.
  • What a beautiful encounter with the Officer that saved her life. ❤️ Great way of giving back to the community. God Bless both Mother and daughter.
  • The way he smiled when getting arrested and waved happily going into court shows this man’s arrogance and entitlement. Disgusting human.
  • @suedoyle3007
    Chad is a total Legend ❤ He was still working on his time off and so observant. I really hope this officer is rewarded in life with everything good ❤
  • I’m so tired of people using mental health as an excuse for narcissistic behavior, evil behavior and m#rder
  • @Uncensored0.1
    Chad is an exemplary Officer! Please give this Man a Medal and Award! Besides being an Officer he has a heart and dedication!
  • @TheMomseloc
    NEVER, NEVER, NEVER MAKE "PRIVATE VIDEOS" WITH ANYBODY! EVER!!!!
  • Clearly Schanda was telling the truth and it’s a miracle that the police officer was behind the van. Stellar work by Officer Chad Martin.
  • @CCKnight
    It’s extremely hard to get away from a dangerous rich stalker who wants revenge.
