911 Call Released in Kidnapping in Miami-Dade

Police have released the chilling 911 call of a woman who was abducted at gunpoint by her ex-husband in southwest Miami-Dade before he was killed in an officer-involved shooting.

Sarah Allen, 38, was kidnapped Wednesday by ex-husband Francis Scot Dufore, who drove to South Florida from Louisiana, Miami-Dade Police said. He drove her out to a wooded area along 180th Avenue, where Allen was able to call 911.

"Please just let me go," Allen is heard saying in the background of the call. "I just want to go, please. I don't want to go back home to Louisiana, I don't want to be nowhere near you."

Police were able to trace the call and found Dufore, who pointed a shotgun at an officer, officials said. The officer opened fire, killing Dufore. Allen came out of the woods, apparently unharmed.

Authorities said the couple were divorced with four children in common. The children were in DCF custody prior to the incident.
