Police in northern Kentucky hope some newly released surveillance video will help them catch a man wanted for the abduction of an elderly woman.

The man is seen in video walking in the parking lot of the Crestview Town Center mall in Kenton County, and later at a Speedway in Covington.

Investigators say several weeks ago, the man kidnapped a 74-year-old woman at the mall, then took her to a wooded area outside of Cincinnati and tied her to a tree.

The man stole the woman's cell phone, credit cards, and car.

More video shows the man leaving the victim's car at Saint Elizabeth's Hospital in Covington the next day.

A sketch of the suspect was released shortly after the crime, but it has turned up no leads.

Investigators say they have an idea as to who the man may be, but they have no solid evidence to tie him to this crime.

The victim was not seriously hurt.
