According to East Texas Matters, the kidnapping suspect is identified as her ex-boyfriend and member of the Southside Bloods gang - Dylon Benefield, 21.
White Oak's post described the harrowing scenario in an earlier post:
Taken from her home, against her will, by her ex-boyfriend at around 1:30 A.M. on the morning of 09/19/2017. Miss Zapata has been entered into law enforcement databases as missing and we need everyone's help in finding her.
White Oak Police described the suspect as a Hispanic, white male who is known to drive a red Chevrolet Impala with unknown Arkansas license plates. He should be considered dangerous so please call the police rather than confronting the suspect yourself.
