Investigators determined today that a 26-year-old woman who had been thought to have been abducted from her Pomona home went willingly with her five "alleged kidnappers," two of whom are being sought for alleged parole violations.

The boyfriend of Monica Ayala told police that Ayala was taken Wednesday night from their home in the 900 block of Bradford Avenue near East Kingsley Avenue by as many as five suspects, said Pomona police Sgt. Rick Baker.

"That victim (Ayala’s boyfriend) reported that he had been beaten and tied up by the suspects," Baker said. "He reported that his girlfriend ... had been taken from their residence by the same persons, along with a vehicle belonging to (Ayala) and property belonging to both."

Yesterday afternoon, police announced that Ayala had been found unharmed, walking near her home, he said.

Detectives interviewed Ayala and learned that she was not kidnapped, but rather, she took her belongings and left willingly in her vehicle with four men and one woman, Pomona police Sgt. Michael Olivieri said.

Although no longer being considered a kidnapping, police today were still seeking two of the men Ayala left with — Pomona residents Saul Esquivel, 27, and Alan Pierson, 31. Both men were being sought for parole violations, Olivieri said.

Anyone with information on the two men were asked to call 911 the Pomona Police Department at 909-620-2085.
