The search began on Wednesday morning when a witness said that the woman appeared to be bleeding from her face and reported seeing a male truck driver pull her “back into the cab” as they drove south down Route 130 in South Brunswick near a Dayton Toyota dealership.

Authorities said they received tips from around the country, but the break in the case came from Gabrielli Truck Sales, a truck dealership near where the incident took place, police said.
