Kidnapping, rape suspect surrenders
Cops: Woman escaped trunk

A 20-year-old Elsmere man accused of raping and abducting a Lakeside Park woman surrendered to Cincinnati police Sunday.
William Vincent Burney was being held in the Hamilton County Justice Center and is to appear today for an extradition hearing.
When he returns to Kentucky, he will be charged with two counts of first-degree rape and individual counts of sodomy, kidnapping, burglary and criminal attempt to commit murder, said Trooper Curtis Finley of the Kentucky State Police post in Dry Ridge.
Kentucky police had been searching for Mr. Burney since around 4 a.m. Friday. That's when the woman appeared at the Dry Ridge post, telling police she had been raped Thursday evening at her Derby Ridge apartment in Lakeside Park.
The woman said her assailant had put her in the trunk of her car and driven south to Grant County, where she was left in the trunk, police said. The car was then abandoned near some railroad tracks, Trooper Finley said. When the woman was sure her assailant had left, she managed to “manipulate the trunk and free herself,” the trooper said.
The woman was within two miles of the Dry Ridge post. She flagged down a passing motorist, who took her there.
