Kristi Cornwell told her boyfriend that someone was following her right before she disappeared
On the night of August 11, Kristi Cornwell decided to take a walk near her parents home in Union County, Georgia. The former probation officer -- who was studying to become a medical technician -- was on her cell phone to her boyfriend in Atlanta, and mentioned that a car was following her.

The next thing Douglas Davis heard was the sound of a struggle. Then nothing. There's been no sign of the 38-year-old woman since.

Police now believe her kidnapper may have attacked again, this time 25 miles away in Ranger, North Carolina. The assault came on August 2, a week before Kristi went missing. An unnamed woman was walking near the Ranger Community Center when a creep tried to abduct her...

The woman repelled the assailant and managed to escape. But judging from her description of the man and his car, he may be the same guy who kidnapped Kristi a week later.

The creep is described as white, in his 20s, with dark hair. That's a pretty loose description. But he's also assumed to be driving a silver Nissan Xterra with tinted windows and a brush guard. (You can tell he's a douche bag because he has a brush guard on a Nissan. What? Does he think Old Navy will move to the deep woods of Georgia?)

In the meantime, Kristi's family is going broke in their search. They've already put up a $50,000 reward and built a heliport to help with the search in the heavily wooded area.

Over the weekend, they auctioned off their lakefront home to pay for continued searches. The home, which as been in the family since 1958, went for $355,000. Relatives plan to use the money to pay for additional helicopter searches and newspaper ads.

"The costs are extraordinary," Kristi's brother Richard told the Atlanta Journal-Constitution. "We're doing the things we need to generate cash to keep the search moving forward... We still believe we will find Kristi alive and we will hunt down the suspect who did this."
