The first officer who arrived also heard the cries, which led him to the shed.
That's where police say he found the woman being held captive.
She was trapped down a pit that had been dug at the bottom of the shed, they said.
A wooden board covered the pit. Heavy objects had been placed on top of the board to hold it down.
Police said it would have been impossible for the victim to get out.
