Two wanted after woman escapes alleged Clermont kidnapping

By Caleb Hutchins Assistant News Director

Two people are wanted by authorities after a woman said she escaped a kidnapping in the south end of White County earlier this month.

A social media post Wednesday by the White County Sheriff's Office said their deputies were called to a home in the Clermont area on the night of October 6 after a woman had gone to a residence saying she had recently escaped a kidnapping.

The woman had apparently freed herself from her restraints and had gone to the home seeking help. She was taken to a nearby hospital for a medical evaluation.

An investigation by White County authorities identified two suspects in the case: Ashley Nicole Sosebee, age 32 of Cornelia, and Dylan Anthony Forrester, age 30 of Gainesville.

Both suspects were reportedly known to the victim and warrants have been issued against both for kidnapping and aggravated assault.

Sosebee was recently released from prison after pleading guilty to murder charges in the 2018 overdose death of a Mount Airy man.

Anyone with information on Sosebee or Forrester's location is asked to contact the White County Sheriff's Office.
