It’s a shame that we often remember the murderer more than we remember the victim. Thanks for a story that tries to even the balance.

Glad Ted missed Debbie in our Universe because the CBGBs scene wouldn’t have been the same without her…

I’m happy she outsmarted him too. It’s based upon a true story I recently read about her encounter with him

We should all make more mention of the victims than the murderers and rapists and terrorists and mass shooters and pedophiles.

Thanks Dale. I got the idea before the picture because it was in the news. That often happens. She got suspicious because the inside of his car was gutted out~no way to open the doors or windows, and a missing dashboard. She ran as soon as the door accidentally opened.

Glad she was quick to assess the situation. Those creeps often have a charisma that distracts
the target from noticing.

Yes it was dumb luck too because she was trapped

So she got in the car but a fluke made the door come open?

Somehow she took advantage of a slightly open window when he made a sudden turn , and opened the door from the outside. It was impossible to open it from the inside

There was a guy near here that had killed 2 women so far here a few years back. He picked up a teenage girl and she was able to get his van’s door open and jumped from it. She was able to get enough info from that near-death experience to lead police to him.

It’s a really good story, chilling and terrifying. I didn’t know the singer/victim, had not heard the story before, so I looked it up. Here’s the site I checked first:
