Police: Georgia woman Sandra Barnett kidnapped, fatally shot by husband's mistress Lisa Brown
A woman was abducted by her husband's mistress in suburban Atlanta and then shot in what authorities called a murder-suicide after a freeway pursuit into Alabama, police said Thursday.
Sandra Baett, 49, of Ellenwood, Georgia, was abducted from her home Wednesday, Clayton County Police Officer Charlene Fraser said. Clayton County police distributed a lookout bulletin for a black Dodge Durango the woman was taken away in, Fraser said.
The vehicle was spotted Thursday moing in west Georgia and deputies from the Carroll County Sheriff's office and other Georgia law enforcement agencies chased it along I-20 into Alabama, said Carroll County Chief Deputy Sheriff Brad Robinson.

The SUV stopped at mile marker 208 on a stretch of the freeway in Clebue County, Alabama, and a standoff ensued, Alabama Law Enforcement Agency spokesman Steve Jarrett said in an emailed statement.
Fraser said the kidnapping suspect reached into the backseat, grabbed a gun and shot Baett before shooting herself. Both women were dead inside the SUV when authorities approached it, Robinson said.
The abduction was reported by one of Baett's relatives, Fraser said. Fraser also said the suspect was the mistress of Baett's husband. Authorities have not yet released the suspect's name.
