It's something Hot Springs police say they've never seen before: a woman was kidnapped, tied up and tortured over three days.
The victim says it all started Friday at a home in the 300 block of Main Street in Hot Springs.
But according to a report obtained by KARK, the woman was brutalized for days.
Police say they know the motive. They say they just can't tell us right now.
We do know the details in the report are extremely disturbing.
The victim says she came over just to hang out with Erica Gonzales and Oliver Archie Friday.
According to the report, she was with them several hours before they got upset, called her a snitch and began beating her.
The report goes on to say she was tied with ropes and chains, hit with a hammer in the body and face, kicked and stomped by them.
The report also says she was made to swallow some kind of powder and liquid that made her forget some of what happened.
She says she does remember the couple arguing over whether to "get rid of her."
Amazingly this woman was able to escape.
She had to go to the hospital. She has swelling on her brain from the alleged beatings.
Gonzales and Archie now face charges of kidnapping and battery.
We'll keep following this story and bring you more as it develops.
