Channel 9 has learned that Victoria Lindsay was treated to drinks and her attackers apologized before deserting her at a CVS Pharmacy. Lindsay then called a friend who picked her up.

In a newly released 911 call, her friend's mother told the operator that Lindsay had been lured into a trap.

"She was gone and they said 'hurry up and come home,' and when she walked in the house each one came out of a different room and attacked her," said the friend's mother.

A hearing that was supposed to be held Wednesday to address the state's appeal of a gag order in the case has been postponed. It is now set for April 24.
