Does real police bodycam footage capture the moment a woman appeared to vanish into thin air during a traffic stop? No, that's not true: This simulated footage shows actors in a skit depicting a "rapture pre-enactment." The end of the video clip was edited to remove the credits, obscuring that this short skit is part of the Perhaps Today campaign by Turning Point Ministries. The website PerhapsToday.org has 14 pre-enactment skits presented to "create curiosity" and to promote the website, which is focused on end times theology.
The one-minute 44-second video was published in a post (archived here) on X by @JDunlap1974 on May 25, 2026. It is captioned:
Have y'all seen this video? A woman vanishes into thin air at a traffic stop with Police. They show the dash cam off the Police camera and this actually looks legit.
What are your thoughts and have you seen this video before?

The final 18 seconds of the video posted by @JDunlap1974 cuts to a man's commentary about the video. He says:
Where did she go? She just vanished into thin air and no one asked any questions? I've seen this video before and I've seen a lot of people talking about it online, but no authority has ever spoken about it. No one higher ever spoke about it. Is something a lot more going on here?
A reverse image search shows the video has been circulating on social media for some time, making it difficult to trace to its original source. A comment on the @JDunlap1974 post links to a June 9, 2024, blog post on jordanliles.com (archived here) titled, "'Woman Vanishes During Traffic Stop' TikTok Video, Explained." The blog article links to a Sept. 18, 2023, video (archived here) titled, "The Great Disappearance: Are You Ready for the Rapture?" published on the David Jeremiah YouTube channel. David Jeremiah (archived here) is an author, pastor of a megachurch in California and founder of a broadcast ministry called Turning Point for God. Turning Point for God is unrelated to Turning Point USA, founded by Charlie Kirk and Bill Montgomery.
A brief explanation of the rapture (archived here) from the editors of Encyclopedia Britannica reads:
The Rapture is the belief that both living and dead believers will ascend into heaven to meet Jesus Christ at the Second Coming. The belief in the Rapture emerged from the anticipation that Jesus would return to redeem all members of his church. The term rapture, however, does not appear in the New Testament.
In the David Jeremiah video, at nine seconds, there is a brief clip showing the traffic stop skit. Other clips show everyday moments that might be captured on camera at the time of the rapture. The video ends with a link to the website PerhapsToday.org (archived here). The About page (archived here) on the website explains the rapture pre-enactment campaign:
Turning Point Productions has released thought-provoking pre-enactment video clips of the moment of the Rapture. This realistic 'caught on camera' user-generated footage grabs the viewers' attention and creates curiosity that leads them to our Perhaps Today! website (the one you are on, right now!), where they discover more about the Rapture and find the Gospel message.
Another page on the website (archived here) hosts the 14 rapture pre-enactment skits including the "Traffic Stop (Police Bodycam)" skit (archived here). The original one-minute 19-second video prominently features the link to PerhapsToday.org in the final seconds of the video.
