A dispute over a missing car is believed to be one of the reasons a 40-year-old woman allegedly kidnapped and assaulted a 19-year-old girl in Brisbane’s south.
Christine Louise Thomson allegedly threatened the girl at a location before driving her to an unknown location where she assaulted the young teenager, holding her captive for three days.
On Wednesday night, police went to the Logan City home for other matters, where both women were found, along with Ms Thomson’s two primary school-aged children, including her nine-year-old daughter, and her partner.

Ms Thomson is accused of kidnapping the girl on Monday, holding her until Wednesday night
The teenage girl, who knew her alleged kidnapper, was found tied up in the bedroom, with injuries police believe were consistent to a serious assault.
The 19-year-old is currently in hospital with broken bones and burns.
Ms Thomson, who was convicted for stabbing a police dog seven years ago, was also the first woman shot by Queensland police with a neighbour describing the incident as unsurprising, according to 9 News.
Police prosecutor Sergeant Wendy Moman said the victim of the ‘horrendous assault’ could still be a captive of the 40-year-old woman if it weren’t for the coincidental police visit.
Detective Inspector Tod Reid told reporters the 19-year-old was found with ‘bruising, abrasions, lacerations and some burns to various parts of her torso and face’.
‘Monday morning she was brought here against her will and held here [in the 40-year-old’s home] for that three day period,’ he said.

Thomson and her alleged victim were known to one another, police told reporters on Thursday
‘We’re very pleased to make sure that she’s now safe … she’s obviously very shaken up.’
Police say it appears the teenager was given food and water over the three day ordeal.
Ms Thomson’s two children, who were found in the home at the time, have been ‘relocated’, police said, and officers are investigating if any other people played a role in the teenage girl’s kidnapping.
The children were reportedly told by their mother that she was looking after the teenager because she was sick, according to 9 News.
The mother-of-two fronted Beenleigh Magistrates Court on Thursday for charges including kidnapping, torture and deprivation of liberty.
The 40-year-old was refused bail and will remain in custody until January 17.
Ms Thomson’s two children were also found in the home and have been ‘relocated’, as officers continue to investigate if Ms Thomson acted alone
