Two women held hostage at the Fifth Third Bank in Romeoville, IL Tuesday shared their harrowing ordeal with a man they said wanted to end his life.

Roxana Boyden and Sandra Mendoza, along with another woman, were at the Fifth/Third bank doing work for the Romeoville High School Boosters. They were nearly finished, and Mendoza went back to her car to grab something.

"My brain was a flood of thinking of my family. Survive; thinking about surviving," Boyden said."Praying. Praying a lot." "He's like, I'm done. I've tried everything and nothing's have worked. So this is the end for me," Mendoza said. "Ma'am, stop crying OK," the suspect is heard saying on the cell phone video."You have my word, you will walk out, I promise you."
