Islamorada Woman Arrested for Kidnapping Ex's New Girlfriend
NBC Miami ^

Posted on 02/09/2017 10:35:45 PM PST by nickcarraway

Authorities say an Islamorada woman was arrested Sunday for kidnapping her ex-boyfriend’s new girlfriend.

According to Monroe County Sheriff's Office, the incident happened on Jan. 27, when 51-year-old Laura Bauler entered the new girlfriend's home without permission.

MCSO says the woman was in bed when Bauler forced her out at knifepoint. Bauler then tied a kitchen towel over her mouth and tied a rope around her neck, all the time threatening to kill her with the knife she was holding.

Police say Bauler drove the victim to the motel, forced her into a closet, and then later into a bathtub. Once in the bathtub, Bauler ordered the her to take off her clothes and go outside.

While outside, the victim began to run away and scream for help. Bauler ran after and tackled her to the ground. Both women were fighting on the ground when a couple, who lived next door, pulled Bauler off of the victim and took the victim into their home. Bauler fled the scene.

The victim told Sheriff's deputies that she is now living with Bauler’s ex-boyfriend and she believes that is why the attack took place.

Bauler was arrested on charges of kidnapping, aggravated assault with a deadly weapon, battery, kidnapping and burglary. Her bond is set at $145,000.00.

Yikes. I read that as Islamorada, which the name is not derived from (instead of Isla Morada). Made me think that an Islamic enclave materialized in the Florida Keys.

Every time an article about this Spanish-named town in Florida, people get outraged that Muslims are taking over.

It reads a lot like that movie with Clint Eastwood and Jessica Walters; “Play Misty for Me”.
This time though, there was no strangled Mexican Maid left in the laundry room.

"Are we sure that is a woman?"

Hey now!
Don't be so judgmental!

Okay ... so she's a bit rough 'round the edges.
But given a little makeup, the proper lighting and a copious amount of alcohol ...

Come to think of it - she does look a bit familiar.
