ST. JOHNS COUNTY, Fla. -- Newly released investigative recordings show Quinn Gray telling detectives details about what she called her kidnapping.

At times, the Ponte Vedra mother burst into tears.

"I was praying whatever this s*** was that I would survive," 37-year-old Gray told an investigator.

Gray's husband, Reid, reported her missing Labor Day weekend. Investigators spent three days looking for her.

On Labor Day, Gray placed a frantic 911 call to report she'd been released from her kidnapper.

Days later, Gray worked with a deputy on a sketch of the suspect. She told him, "A lot of times I thought he was going to kill me."

That man was 25-year-old Jasmin Osmanovic of Jacksonville.

But in other investigative recordings, Osmanovic told detectives he did not keep Gray against her will.

Osmanovic made a secret recording of some of the time he spent with Gray that weekend.

The recording includes the two of them engaged in sex and discussions of their plans to get money from Gray's husband.

Osmanovic also says on the tape that Gray stayed at a Jacksonville hotel at least one night by herself.

On the recording he says to Gray, "If they knew you were here all by yourself all night long...with a gun! They would have a fit!"

He started laughing, and Gray said, "That's why I'm starting to think I'm the sinister one...doing this to my family."

Osmanovic replied, "It's Reid, remember."

Gray answered, "I know."

In another part of that same secret recording that weekend, Gray sounded frustrated about the media coverage of her case.

"I'm so pissed right now it doesn't say kidnapped," Gray told Osmanovic on the recording.

During that weekend, ransom money-drop locations at public places were set up between the alleged kidnapper and Gray's husband and mother.

The State Attorney's Office also released the tapes of Gray's mother and husband frantically talking to Gray about where the ransom money was dropped.

Days later, in an interview room, Gray told investigators she and Osmanovic had intercourse many times, and she said she acted like she enjoyed it.

Crying she said, "I knew I wasn't going to fight or resist him. So I made it the best possible."

The State Attorney's Office released hours of recordings about the case on DVD's and CD's.

Osmanovic and Gray have been arrested and charged with extortion.
