YEMASSEE — Three suspects have been arrested and charged with kidnapping after an unresponsive woman was found near a Jasper County boat landing earlier this month with her hands bound.
The State Law Enforcement Division investigation determined that the victim, who has not been identified, was abducted in Barnwell County.
Kidnapping warrants were issued in that county for Adrienne Burgen Ginn, 31, Kaila Terria Bostick, 24 and Jamaal Terrell Riley, 30.
All three suspects are currently in custody.
Ginn was arrested in Hampton County on April 6 for driving with a suspended license.
Bostick and Riley were arrested by the U.S. Marshals Service's Great Lakes Fugitive Task Force in Indiana on April 11. Both are expected to be extradited back to South Carolina.

No further information about the suspects or a possible motive for the abduction was made available.
Jasper County Sheriff's Office deputies responded around 3 p.m. April 3 to a report of a man on a riverbank in the vicinity of Corner Lake Landing, located about 6 miles west of Yemassee along the Coosawhatchie River. Instead, they found the female victim.
She was transported to a local hospital for treatment of her injuries. According to SLED, the victim is recovering but remains hospitalized.
The Jasper County Sheriff's Office initially was the lead investigative agency. But on April 8, Jasper County Sheriff Donald Hipp issued a statement indicating that he had requested that SLED assume responsibility for the investigation. He made the request, he said, because the investigation involved multiple jurisdictions beyond his agency's boundaries.
