Jeannine Jaramillo, the woman at the center of a deadly pursuit on I-25 earlier this week, claimed she was kidnapped by a man at knifepoint. However, she has claimed that before, and she spoke to KOB 4 to share her story.
A search warrant also reveals Jamarillo appears to have been the only person inside the car that police were chasing before that deadly crash outside Santa Fe. She is sticking to her claims that she was kidnapped – even though she had made similar claims following a high-speed chase last year in Cibola County, which resulted in her arrest.
Jaramillo told KOB 4 that she and a man she was briefly dating, Mark Lopez, were at a Santa Fe apartment complex where everything started. She said they got into an argument when he pulled out a knife and kidnapped her, leading to a chase on I-25. She said she was scared for her life as everything unfolded, and she blacked out briefly during the crash and doesn't remember how the suspect escaped the car.
"I crawled out the driver side window, I fell to the ground and I looked up and there was the police, and I just ran for my life, and I was screaming help me," Jaramillo said. "I'm crying, I was hysterical, I was in shock."
Jaramillo had a cast on her right arm. She said she broke it in the crash.
As for the man she identified as Mark Lopez – authorities questioned a man with that name and said he wasn't involved at all.
KOB 4 also discovered that Jaramillo made a similar claim in a third case. Court documents show she was arrested in connection to a stolen utility bucket truck in Grants in October. She told investigators she was with her boyfriend, but they searched for him – and never found him.
