The National Center for Missing and Exploited Children contacted NC WANTED and America's Most Wanted last week to issue an urgent bulletin about an alleged kidnapping of a pregnant woman out of Randolph County. She was allegedly abducted from a house in Thomasville after two people inside the home were stabbed.
Maranda Teague, 18, is believed to be in serious danger. Authorities believe she was abducted early Tuesday morning by her estranged husband Charles Teague, 30. They are believed to be traveling in a red 2000 Dodge Neon with North Carolina license plate RWD 6188.
Charles Teague allegedly broke into the home of Wanda and Cecil Myers, at 7050 Sink Farm Road in Thomasville, around 1:30 a.m. Tuesday. The Myers were close family friends of Maranda and she had been staying with them about a week after incidents of domestic violence led her to leave Charles, Sgt. Derrick Hill of the Randolph County Sheriff's Office told NC WANTED.
Charles Teague stabbed both Wanda and Cecil Myers several times as they were lying in bed, forced his eight-and-half-month pregnant wife into Wanda Myer's car and fled the scene, Hill said. Cash was also stolen from the home.
He has been charged with two counts of attempted murder, kidnapping and first degree burglary. He is believed to be armed and has a violent criminal history. His last known address was in Greensboro, but Hill said police are not sure whether the Teagues are still in the area.
Wanda and Cecil Myers were taken to High Point Hospital for treatment.
Maranda Teague could give birth at any time. Because she is 18, law enforcement was unable to release an Amber Alert regarding her abduction. They need your tips.
