LAUREL COUNTY, Kent. (WFLA) – A kidnapped teenager was rescued Thursday after using hand signs she learned on social media platform Tik Tok to signal for help, according to authorities in Kentucky. The Laurel County Sheriff’s Office said that a driver on I-75 called 911 after noticing a 16-year-old girl in a silver Toyota in front of her making gestures known on Tik Tok to signal for help in domestic violence situations. The good samaritan helped lead authorities to the driver, identified as James Herbert Brick, 61, of Cherokee, North Carolina and he was stopped and taken into custody. The investigators learned that the girl was reported missing Tuesday out of Asheville, North Carolina. Brick now faces multiple charges, and remained in the Laurel County Correctional Center.
