it's a bizarre tale of a nutty woman and so-called kidnapping.
ST. AUGUSTINE, Fla. -- A 10-day investigation into a reported abduction over the Labor Day weekend led detectives to sex tapes, discussions of fake kidnappings, ransom notes, money drops gone wrong and two arrests -- including the woman who claims to be the victim.
Quinn Gray, the 37-year-old Ponte Vedra Beach woman who said she was kidnapped and released three days later, was arrested Wednesday afternoon and charged with extortion.
At a first appearance in St. Johns County court Thursday morning, Gray told the judge she did not know if she could afford an attorney. She remains in jail on a $1 million bond.
A 25-year-old Jacksonville man connected to the case was arrested early Tuesday morning, also on charges of extortion. According to the arrest report, Jasmin Osmanovic delivered two letters to Gray's home saying he was owed $50,000. He also told investigators that he had a sexual relationship with Gray and the couple spent that weekend together.
"They met chance encounter. Their relationship developed," St. Johns County Sheriff David Shoar said. "We don't know all there is to know about their relationship. But she knew him long before Labor Day weekend. She actually led us to him."
