Reportedly the two went to a hotel in Moody, Alabama, near Birmingham. She got word to hotel staff that she had been kidnapped and Mauldin fled.
Mauldin is wanted after two people were shot to death at a home Chattooga County.
Mauldin is accused of killing 35-year-old Joe Edward Brown and his 61-year-old mother Linda Mae Everett Tuesday morning.

All three victims resided at 13023 Highway 100 in Chattooga County near the Floyd County line. Sheriff Schrader said there were no signs of forced entry or of a home invasion.
