Jennifer DeStefano (pictured above) was at a dance class with another one of her daughters when she received a phone call from an unknown number.

Her teenage daughter Briana had been on a ski trip with her father, so the only reason Jennifer even answered the phone at all was because she was worried something might have happened to the girl.

But when she picked up, she wasn’t prepared for what she heard. Jennifer spoke to NBC 15 Arizona this week about the call, which turned out to be one of the most horrific experiences of her life: While Jennifer was scrambling trying to figure out what was going on, a man’s voice came on the phone.

As she recalled to the news outlet, he immediately began making demands and telling the mom terrible things would happen to Briana if she didn’t comply: OMG!!!
