The missing woman was found by police in a room, tied up with a sheet on top of her, WVTM-TV in Birmingham reported.

Police were also able to recover money that was withdrawn from her account at three ATMs earlier Wednesday.

Authorities searched all afternoon for the 34-year-old attorney, who practices family law.

They said there was activity on her account at three area branches of AmSouth bank following the abduction.
