BERLIN, N.H. -- "What can you say?" asks Lorraine Moore. "I want her home. I want her back in her husband's arms again, and in her children's arms again too."
Moore's daughter, Alice Donovan, has been missing since her kidnapping last week.
WMUR's Jean Mackin reported that Lorraine Moore last heard from her daughter two hours after Donovan was kidnapped.
The 44-year-old wife, mother of two, and grandmother of three, was abducted from a South Carolina Wal-Mart parking lot last Thursday.
The kidnapping was captured on surveillance tape that has not been released.
Two hours later, Donovan left an odd message for her family back in Bristol, N.H., saying she'd be shopping later than expected but she loved them very much. Donovan has not been seen or heard from since.
"I just want her safe," Moore said, "That's all. I just want her safe. She doesn't like the cold. That's why she went down south, because she doesn't' like the cold and I don't want her to be out there in the cold."
Donovan grew up in Kingston and moved to South Carolina with her family years ago.
She was Christmas shopping the day that two escapees from a Kentucky jail allegedly abducted her and stole her car.
Brandon Basham, 21, was captured Sunday night in Kentucky. On Monday night, the second suspect, Chadrick Fulks was captured on police videotape, evading police in Donovan's stolen BMW.
But Wednesday, police did catch up with Fulks and both escapees were back behind bars. There's still no sign of Donovan, but no evidence her abductors harmed her either.
The family said it is encouraging news that another man kidnapped by the escapees earlier was tied to a tree alive and abandoned.
Still, Donovan's sister Gloria Lindsey, and her mother, keep vigil by the phone and the TV, believing Donovan will also survive.
"It's just within her personality to be able to adapt to her circumstances and survive. She's a survivor, she truly is," Lindsey said.
"There's a lot of people out there praying for her so that's what's keeping me going," Moore said.
