WEBVTT 1 00:00:02.640 --> 00:00:05.040 We all love to hear. When a cold case finally 2 00:00:05.080 --> 00:00:08.480 gets solved, it not only brings closure to the family 3 00:00:08.519 --> 00:00:12.480 and friends of victims, but it also ensures that violent 4 00:00:12.560 --> 00:00:16.199 criminals pay for their crimes and are no longer free 5 00:00:16.600 --> 00:00:21.399 to commit Once again. With today's case, we get to 6 00:00:21.519 --> 00:00:25.839 experience a cold case being solved, and what exactly happened 7 00:00:26.239 --> 00:00:30.079 and how it gets solved is nothing short of jaw dropping. 8 00:00:31.399 --> 00:00:37.640 This is the case of Jorge Aliva Torres. My name's Ben, I'm. 9 00:00:37.560 --> 00:00:41.520 Nicole and you're listening to Wicked and Grim true crime podcast. 10 00:00:44.000 --> 00:00:51.679 The following podcast material intended for a mature audience.

Okay, so fall is officially in full swing. 12 00:01:15.719 --> 00:01:17.640 We're not fall yet, but the fall is here, you 13 00:01:17.680 --> 00:01:18.159 know what I mean? 14 00:01:18.359 --> 00:01:20.879 Oh yeah, so I have Oh yeah, I get it. 15 00:01:21.159 --> 00:01:25.840 Who has been working on Halloween costumes? Who has had 16 00:01:25.840 --> 00:01:30.040 their first pumpkin spice latte? I gotta know, like, what's happening? 17 00:01:30.280 --> 00:01:32.840 Oh my goodness, the pumpkin spice craze. 18 00:01:32.920 --> 00:01:35.400 Hey yeah, the pumpkin spice craze. 19 00:01:35.439 --> 00:01:37.719 I mean, I'll admit I'm pretty basic, but that is 20 00:01:37.799 --> 00:01:40.239 like one thing that I don't do. I'm not like 21 00:01:40.319 --> 00:01:41.480 into the pumpkin spice. 22 00:01:41.560 --> 00:01:43.239 Have you had a pumpkin spice latte? 23 00:01:43.959 --> 00:01:46.319 I think so? But I don't really drink coffee, right, 24 00:01:46.439 --> 00:01:48.040 so I didn't really like it. 25 00:01:48.120 --> 00:01:50.040 Well you can't. Can you not get like a pumpkin 26 00:01:50.079 --> 00:01:52.120 spice chai tea latte or something? 27 00:01:52.439 --> 00:01:55.640 Maybe? But I don't know. I'm fine not being super 28 00:01:55.640 --> 00:01:56.040 into it. 29 00:01:56.319 --> 00:01:59.079 Fair enough, fair enough. I mean I like pumpkin spice 30 00:01:59.120 --> 00:02:02.480 because it's basically just the same spice and seasonings that 31 00:02:02.519 --> 00:02:04.200 go on a pumpkin pie, and I fucking love them. 32 00:02:04.239 --> 00:02:07.959 Well pumpkin pie with a whole bunch of whipped cream.

Or maybe they 65 00:03:26.199 --> 00:03:28.719 voted that I was an evil person. I think it 66 00:03:28.759 --> 00:03:31.319 would make more it'd be more fitting. It was that way. 67 00:03:31.400 --> 00:03:33.319 That's kind of what the vote was was, which makes 68 00:03:33.319 --> 00:03:33.800 more sense. 69 00:03:33.879 --> 00:03:35.680 Okay, never mind, take it back. 70 00:03:35.879 --> 00:03:38.280 So you are the evil person, I'm the evil person. 71 00:03:39.360 --> 00:03:40.879 I think it was a Patreon vote, wasn't it that 72 00:03:40.919 --> 00:03:41.240 we went to? 73 00:03:41.439 --> 00:03:43.439 Well, yeah, and speaking of patrons, don't we have some 74 00:03:43.560 --> 00:03:44.919 to think we do. 75 00:03:45.039 --> 00:03:48.159 What a great segue.

Cool. 87 00:04:27.199 --> 00:04:29.839 Yeah yeah, And like right before this, we just recorded 88 00:04:29.839 --> 00:04:32.639 a fifteen minute pre show and you know, dropped some 89 00:04:33.399 --> 00:04:34.199 life events. 90 00:04:34.279 --> 00:04:37.120 So yeah, they get it where it's at it is. 91 00:04:37.199 --> 00:04:41.120 They get all that behind the scenes goodness for sure. Honestly, 92 00:04:41.279 --> 00:04:43.160 I've been thinking for a while of creating like a 93 00:04:43.680 --> 00:04:46.360 VIP Patreon thing where maybe it's like, I don't know, 94 00:04:46.439 --> 00:04:48.839 sticker club or something we send up monthly stickers or 95 00:04:49.439 --> 00:04:51.759 I don't like, don't I don't know, maybe we should 96 00:04:51.759 --> 00:04:53.560 talk to Patreon, see what you think of that. 97 00:04:53.759 --> 00:04:56.279 Something that's kind of VIP. It would be cool. It 98 00:04:56.319 --> 00:04:59.879 would be monthly mail. Gosh, it's like a penpal kind 99 00:04:59.879 --> 00:05:01.000 of Yeah. 100 00:05:01.240 --> 00:05:04.720 It could be like we could write like mystery like 101 00:05:05.360 --> 00:05:07.560 true crime things that we just make up, of course, 102 00:05:07.759 --> 00:05:09.680 but it could be like a mystery letter where it's like, oh, 103 00:05:09.800 --> 00:05:13.120 you know, I've been We can have these fake penpals 104 00:05:13.120 --> 00:05:16.240 where he's confessing a murder for like over the course 105 00:05:16.279 --> 00:05:18.800 of an entire year or something like that, and then 106 00:05:18.839 --> 00:05:21.759 finally on that last letter, Oh my god, that's when 107 00:05:21.800 --> 00:05:23.839 you get it's like solved and you figure it out 108 00:05:23.920 --> 00:05:26.160 and you know, or something like that.

L. Clifford, 122 00:06:00.120 --> 00:06:03.600 seasoned officer with the Arlington Police Department, noticed something a 123 00:06:03.600 --> 00:06:07.160 little bit peculiar in the area. See for eight years, 124 00:06:07.199 --> 00:06:10.040 he had been patrolling an area known as the quote 125 00:06:10.160 --> 00:06:13.920 Valley Beat, becoming familiar with, you know, the usual activities, 126 00:06:14.040 --> 00:06:17.680 the regular people, the normal things that happened, whether it's 127 00:06:17.720 --> 00:06:20.800 the good, the bad, the ugly, right, okay, so he 128 00:06:20.800 --> 00:06:23.199 he could spot pretty much any unusual behavior in an 129 00:06:23.240 --> 00:06:26.720 instant and that night something definitely caught his attention. It 130 00:06:26.759 --> 00:06:30.079 was a silver dodged Durango as it was creepy, started 131 00:06:30.120 --> 00:06:35.040 creeping and slowly going along Sherlington Road. It was behaving 132 00:06:35.040 --> 00:06:37.319 in a way that seemed out of place. Though the 133 00:06:37.360 --> 00:06:39.920 Durraguo eventually left the area, it wasn't long before the 134 00:06:40.000 --> 00:06:44.720 vehicle once again reappeared, raising further questions in the officer's mind. 135 00:06:45.639 --> 00:06:47.959 He's sitting here thinking, what are they doing? Who is 136 00:06:48.000 --> 00:06:48.920 this person? Something? 137 00:06:49.040 --> 00:06:49.199 You know? 138 00:06:49.199 --> 00:06:52.759 It doesn't it doesn't quite seem right. So this time though, 139 00:06:52.800 --> 00:06:55.480 the Durango was moving slowly near a place dubbed four 140 00:06:55.519 --> 00:06:58.639 Mile Run, which is a popular route for cyclists and joggers. 141 00:06:58.680 --> 00:07:00.240 Hence you know four mile run. 142 00:07:00.360 --> 00:07:01.560 Okay, that makes sense. 143 00:07:01.639 --> 00:07:05.240 Yeah, So, Officer Clifford watched as the suv parked between 144 00:07:05.319 --> 00:07:08.319 two trucks by a bike path. The driver switched off 145 00:07:08.319 --> 00:07:11.560 the headlights and sat idling for about fifteen minutes. Even 146 00:07:11.600 --> 00:07:14.959 though the headlights were off, the vehicle was idling and 147 00:07:15.000 --> 00:07:18.639 still on. Then after about fifteen minutes or so, turned 148 00:07:18.639 --> 00:07:22.600 the headlights back on and took off. Huh, Officer Clifford 149 00:07:22.680 --> 00:07:25.439 knew something wasn't right. As I said before, he can 150 00:07:25.519 --> 00:07:27.959 kind of see if something's out of the ordinary, almost 151 00:07:27.959 --> 00:07:31.120 in an instant, and this was out of the ordinary. Now, 152 00:07:31.240 --> 00:07:34.120 the driver hadn't exactly committed any visible offense, or he's 153 00:07:34.160 --> 00:07:37.360 not doing any sort of crime just by driving and parking, right, 154 00:07:37.800 --> 00:07:40.040 but the situation was odd enough that he ran the 155 00:07:40.079 --> 00:07:43.079 license plate just in case the search came back clean. 156 00:07:43.519 --> 00:07:45.720 There were no warrants, no red flags attached to the 157 00:07:45.800 --> 00:07:48.879 vehicle at all, still, just in case. He jotted the 158 00:07:48.920 --> 00:07:51.920 license plate number down in the event that he might 159 00:07:52.120 --> 00:07:53.000 ever need it. 160 00:07:53.439 --> 00:07:54.920 I like how observant he's being. 161 00:07:54.959 --> 00:07:58.519 This is good, right, He's doing his due diligence, that's 162 00:07:58.519 --> 00:08:02.040 for sure. Totally so little did did he know, though, 163 00:08:02.480 --> 00:08:04.839 that this small detail would later help lead to the 164 00:08:04.879 --> 00:08:11.240 capture of a dangerous serial rapist and murderer. Oh yeah, 165 00:08:11.279 --> 00:08:14.800 and the man that was behind this durango uh huh 166 00:08:14.839 --> 00:08:16.879 was most likely scouting for his next victim. 167 00:08:16.879 --> 00:08:19.680 Oh my gosh. 168 00:08:19.839 --> 00:08:23.439 So the following day, on February fifth into the sixth. 169 00:08:23.519 --> 00:08:25.439 So it's the same kind of like transition from day 170 00:08:25.519 --> 00:08:29.279 to night to day. Right, the durango yet made another. 171 00:08:29.040 --> 00:08:30.560 Appearance sack Okay. 172 00:08:31.040 --> 00:08:33.879 The city was especially quiet due to a massive snowstorm 173 00:08:34.080 --> 00:08:37.440 that had nearly paralyzed the entire city and area. Things 174 00:08:37.440 --> 00:08:41.000 were shut down, businesses weren't running, people couldn't really drive 175 00:08:41.039 --> 00:08:44.759 to work or anywhere around. Right, So Officer Clifford saw 176 00:08:44.799 --> 00:08:47.159 the vehicle again and continued to keep an eye on it. 177 00:08:47.679 --> 00:08:49.960 This time, it parked in a dimly lit spot near 178 00:08:50.000 --> 00:08:53.600 some local bars. Its headlights once again were switched off, 179 00:08:54.120 --> 00:08:57.399 and it sat idling before driving away. Eventually, after a 180 00:08:57.399 --> 00:09:02.519 few minutes, trusting his gut, Officer Clifford contacted a fellow officer, 181 00:09:02.720 --> 00:09:06.639 Andrew Nascelli, who is nearby, and he asked him to 182 00:09:06.720 --> 00:09:09.360 keep an eye out for this suspicious durangle that was 183 00:09:09.399 --> 00:09:14.000 headed in his direction. Officer Necelli agreed. However, their surveillance 184 00:09:14.120 --> 00:09:16.519 was quickly cut short when they were called to respond 185 00:09:16.559 --> 00:09:20.039 to a nearby traffic incident instead, So while dealing with 186 00:09:20.080 --> 00:09:24.720 the incident, fate would intervene. The durango passed them by, 187 00:09:25.799 --> 00:09:28.799 windows rolled down as it drive by them. For the 188 00:09:28.799 --> 00:09:31.799 first time, Officer Clifford got a very clear look at 189 00:09:31.799 --> 00:09:35.600 the driver. It was a clean shaven young man wearing 190 00:09:35.600 --> 00:09:39.840 a black wool cap. Done dun dum. 191 00:09:39.919 --> 00:09:41.960 Okay, well, I was like waiting for some reason. I 192 00:09:42.039 --> 00:09:43.919 was thinking that someone, a victim was going to be 193 00:09:43.960 --> 00:09:44.840 in there or something. 194 00:09:45.039 --> 00:09:48.679 Nope, okay, no, there's nothing suspicious other than. 195 00:09:49.000 --> 00:09:51.200 Okay, he got a clear look at at him. 196 00:09:51.200 --> 00:09:54.840 Now yeah, okay, yeah, there's nothing actually suspicious about this 197 00:09:55.120 --> 00:09:58.960 individual outright to the officers, it was just something's not 198 00:09:59.000 --> 00:09:59.919 sitting right with them. 199 00:10:00.399 --> 00:10:02.879 You gotta trust those gout feelings sometimes you do. Sure. 200 00:10:03.399 --> 00:10:07.600 I think, I don't know. I try. I don't trust 201 00:10:07.600 --> 00:10:08.639 mine very oft well. 202 00:10:08.639 --> 00:10:09.039 I do. 203 00:10:09.279 --> 00:10:12.519 I try hard to make sure I do, because lots 204 00:10:12.519 --> 00:10:14.960 of times you're just like no, it's like it's fine, 205 00:10:15.000 --> 00:10:16.720 it's fine, but you gotta kind of listen. 206 00:10:16.759 --> 00:10:20.720 I think sometimes it's saying something to you for it is. 207 00:10:20.960 --> 00:10:22.840 Yeah, so now. 208 00:10:22.879 --> 00:10:26.080 In the early hours of February tenth, in twenty ten, 209 00:10:26.519 --> 00:10:29.080 a twenty five year old woman who will call Michelle, 210 00:10:29.600 --> 00:10:32.279 was walking with her boyfriend or walking to her boyfriend's 211 00:10:32.279 --> 00:10:35.200 house in Arlington, Virginia. Michelle had just finished her night 212 00:10:35.240 --> 00:10:38.759 shift as an r nurse. Now, due to another winter 213 00:10:38.799 --> 00:10:41.879 storm that had hit the area, she was released from 214 00:10:41.879 --> 00:10:46.279 work early. After taking the train to the Virginia Square station. 215 00:10:46.480 --> 00:10:49.080 She planned to catch a cab from there, but unfortunately, 216 00:10:49.519 --> 00:10:53.279 because the storm, no taxis were available, which forced her 217 00:10:53.279 --> 00:10:56.600 to walk the remaining distance on foot. As she walked 218 00:10:56.600 --> 00:10:59.720 through the snowy streets, nearing the seventeen hundred block of 219 00:10:59.720 --> 00:11:04.440 Norwork Quincy Street, an unsettling presence lurked nearby, and suddenly 220 00:11:04.679 --> 00:11:09.360 a man emerged from the shadows, grabbing Michelle's jacket from behind. Startled, 221 00:11:09.440 --> 00:11:11.720 she turned to confront him, but before she could react, 222 00:11:11.799 --> 00:11:14.039 he pressed a gun to her side, ordering her to 223 00:11:14.120 --> 00:11:18.639 stay silent and keep moving. The man began to push 224 00:11:18.679 --> 00:11:22.759 Michelle towards his sue, attempting to force her inside, but 225 00:11:22.840 --> 00:11:26.120 Michelle refused, and when she resisted, the attacker pulled out 226 00:11:26.120 --> 00:11:28.960 a knife to further threaten her life, most likely so 227 00:11:29.000 --> 00:11:31.519 he could threaten her and not make any noise with 228 00:11:31.559 --> 00:11:32.639 a gun shot right. 229 00:11:32.799 --> 00:11:35.279 Well, who knows even if that gun was real, right? 230 00:11:35.360 --> 00:11:39.879 I feel like sometimes they criminals use like a fake gun. Yeah, potentially, 231 00:11:39.879 --> 00:11:42.840 couldn't know for sure it was real in this setting, yeap. 232 00:11:43.600 --> 00:11:46.360 So in a desperate attempt to escape, Michelle fought back, 233 00:11:46.399 --> 00:11:50.320 struggling fiercely before breaking free, dropping her purse, and she 234 00:11:50.440 --> 00:11:53.919 sprinted through the snow, adrenaline fueling her as she raced 235 00:11:53.919 --> 00:11:58.399 to her boyfriend's house. When she arrived, she immediately called police. 236 00:11:58.519 --> 00:12:00.360 Okay, she got away. Yes. 237 00:12:00.720 --> 00:12:03.159 Though shaken Shell was able to give the authorities a 238 00:12:03.200 --> 00:12:06.519 clear description of her attacker's face. However, when it came 239 00:12:06.559 --> 00:12:10.120 to the vehicle, her recollection was less certain. She thought 240 00:12:10.159 --> 00:12:13.279 it might have been a light colored suv, possibly tan, 241 00:12:13.679 --> 00:12:17.720 but wasn't entirely sure. The incident was quickly broadcast over 242 00:12:17.759 --> 00:12:22.759 police radios, catching the attention of Officer Clifford, who was 243 00:12:22.840 --> 00:12:26.080 parked in his squad car at the time. As he 244 00:12:26.120 --> 00:12:29.240 listened to the details, something clicked. He couldn't shake the 245 00:12:29.279 --> 00:12:31.960 suspicion that this attack could be linked to the silver Durango, 246 00:12:32.240 --> 00:12:35.480 an suv that he had observed behaving suspiciously just a 247 00:12:35.519 --> 00:12:39.399 few days earlier. When he voiced his thoughts to another officer, 248 00:12:39.440 --> 00:12:43.200 though his concerns were dismissed and the connection wasn't pursued. 249 00:12:43.799 --> 00:12:45.919 Okay, because a Dodge dra Ango is an suv. 250 00:12:46.279 --> 00:12:47.080 Yes, okay. 251 00:12:47.120 --> 00:12:48.720 For some reason, I was thinking it was a truck. 252 00:12:48.799 --> 00:12:51.399 But okay, so that's why right away I was like, oh, 253 00:12:51.399 --> 00:12:53.279 this is a different person, but it might not be. 254 00:12:53.519 --> 00:12:56.000 No, it's a here, this is what it. I mean, 255 00:12:56.000 --> 00:12:57.799 this is a twenty twenty five because that's what pops 256 00:12:57.840 --> 00:12:59.399 up when you google it right away, the most recent. 257 00:12:59.480 --> 00:13:02.159 But that's okay, okay, and go yeah, okay. 258 00:13:02.759 --> 00:13:06.120 So yeah, he saw this silver colored suv, wrote the 259 00:13:06.159 --> 00:13:08.159 license plate down, and now a woman a couple days 260 00:13:08.200 --> 00:13:13.320 later is being trying to be forced into a light 261 00:13:13.399 --> 00:13:18.919 colored suv. So despite Officer Clifford's got feeling, nothing was 262 00:13:18.960 --> 00:13:22.600 pushed forward, and unbeknownst to of course him or Michelle, 263 00:13:23.039 --> 00:13:26.279 yeah this would things would tie into a much larger 264 00:13:26.279 --> 00:13:28.879 and more horrifying pattern of crime unfolding in the area. 265 00:13:30.200 --> 00:13:33.879 Because two weeks later, on Saturday, February twenty seventh, twenty 266 00:13:33.960 --> 00:13:37.159 ten two more women would face a terrifying attack at 267 00:13:37.200 --> 00:13:40.320 the hands of a man driving a light colored suv. 268 00:13:41.559 --> 00:13:44.039 At around two am, a woman who I'm going to 269 00:13:44.120 --> 00:13:48.440 call Helen was walking to her house near North Wakefield 270 00:13:48.480 --> 00:13:52.440 Street when a man approached her. He approached her from behind, 271 00:13:52.480 --> 00:13:54.159 and he told her he had a gun and ordered 272 00:13:54.200 --> 00:13:57.080 her to get into his suv. Like Michelle before her, 273 00:13:57.399 --> 00:14:01.080 Helen refused. A struggle broke out. The attacker pulled out 274 00:14:01.120 --> 00:14:04.600 a taser, pressing it against her neck. Now, miraculously, the 275 00:14:04.639 --> 00:14:06.879 taser failed to fire, giving Helen a chance to break 276 00:14:06.919 --> 00:14:09.159 free and run. She managed to call nine to one, 277 00:14:09.399 --> 00:14:11.919 but once again, just like Michelle's case, the man disappeared 278 00:14:11.960 --> 00:14:16.960 before authorities could arrive. Just two hours after that, two 279 00:14:16.960 --> 00:14:20.519 hours later, on the same street, another attack occurred. At 280 00:14:20.519 --> 00:14:23.360 four a m. Two twenty three year old grad students 281 00:14:23.519 --> 00:14:26.799 who I'm going to call Diane and Sammy were walking 282 00:14:26.840 --> 00:14:29.720 home from a night out with friends. As they approached 283 00:14:29.759 --> 00:14:33.799 Diane's house on North Wakefield Street, Pawed the two women 284 00:14:33.840 --> 00:14:38.519 paused outside while Diane searched her purse for keys. Suddenly, 285 00:14:38.720 --> 00:14:40.639 a man stepped out from behind a parked car and 286 00:14:40.720 --> 00:14:44.440 brandished a gun, acting quickly he forced both the women 287 00:14:44.840 --> 00:14:50.320 inside Diane's home. Oh my goshh this time he didn't 288 00:14:50.360 --> 00:14:53.080 want to leave opportunity for someone to break free and run. 289 00:14:53.320 --> 00:14:53.559 Right. 290 00:14:54.759 --> 00:14:56.840 Ah, well, I mean, yeah, he's had a lot well 291 00:14:56.960 --> 00:14:59.440 that we know of a lot of misses, but I 292 00:14:59.440 --> 00:15:01.480 mean there could be times in between that. 293 00:15:01.399 --> 00:15:03.919 There could definitely be other cases or other things. Yeah, 294 00:15:04.279 --> 00:15:04.679 for sure. 295 00:15:04.840 --> 00:15:06.240 Oh my gosh. 296 00:15:06.879 --> 00:15:09.840 Oh you know, this just reminded me too. I remember 297 00:15:10.480 --> 00:15:13.240 my sister saying, because like I don't know, as a woman, 298 00:15:13.279 --> 00:15:16.360 like you have to be kind of like observant to 299 00:15:16.440 --> 00:15:18.679 a degree. And I'm sure men do too, but more 300 00:15:18.720 --> 00:15:21.720 so women because a lot of women they'll like say 301 00:15:21.720 --> 00:15:23.960 that they're grocery shopping or they're doing something, and then 302 00:15:24.000 --> 00:15:26.639 afterwards they like sit in their car or like just 303 00:15:26.679 --> 00:15:28.720 to get their their bearings or like see what's on 304 00:15:28.720 --> 00:15:31.159 their list to do next or whatever. And she was like, 305 00:15:31.200 --> 00:15:34.759 always lock your door when you're doing that, and like, yeah, 306 00:15:34.840 --> 00:15:37.000 this like she's just like digging in her purse, right, 307 00:15:37.080 --> 00:15:40.480 and like, yeah, for one second, probably not totally aware 308 00:15:40.480 --> 00:15:41.480 of her surroundings. 309 00:15:41.519 --> 00:15:44.960 And yeah, now I understand I may not be as 310 00:15:45.360 --> 00:15:49.000 vulnerable or a target quite as like you might be 311 00:15:49.120 --> 00:15:52.200 in that situation, but still saying I always lock my doors. 312 00:15:52.200 --> 00:15:54.159 If I am sitting in a parking lot, locked right. 313 00:15:54.080 --> 00:15:56.000 Away, I know why not? Really? 314 00:15:56.200 --> 00:15:58.480 Yeah? Well, I mean, all it takes is for someone 315 00:15:58.519 --> 00:16:01.080 to decide you were target for one reason or another. 316 00:16:01.120 --> 00:16:03.360 Maybe it is because you know you are a woman, 317 00:16:03.480 --> 00:16:05.840 or maybe it's because hey, maybe they saw me at 318 00:16:06.240 --> 00:16:08.039 the cash register in the grocery store and saw I 319 00:16:08.039 --> 00:16:10.519 had a twenty in my wallet. Like you know, who 320 00:16:10.559 --> 00:16:13.360 knows the reasoning you should always lock your doors? 321 00:16:13.559 --> 00:16:15.759 Well, I always find I'm most nervous, say if we're 322 00:16:15.799 --> 00:16:18.440 at the grocery store together and say I'm in the 323 00:16:18.440 --> 00:16:21.159 car while it's running and you're running it in and 324 00:16:21.240 --> 00:16:23.600 I'm like in the fastener seat. Yeah, That's when I'm 325 00:16:23.639 --> 00:16:25.440 always like, Okay, this door needs to be locked, because 326 00:16:25.440 --> 00:16:27.759 some would easily just like pulp in the driver's seat 327 00:16:27.799 --> 00:16:28.559 and like take off. 328 00:16:28.440 --> 00:16:30.480 For a one hundred percent. So well, and I even 329 00:16:30.519 --> 00:16:32.080 have a That's one of the reasons why I carry 330 00:16:32.080 --> 00:16:34.559 a pocket knife with me is because you know, if 331 00:16:34.639 --> 00:16:37.919 we're in an instant, I have something to help defend 332 00:16:38.200 --> 00:16:40.960 you or me or whatever. And there's many times where 333 00:16:41.000 --> 00:16:42.679 you know, like we're walking by someone that seems a 334 00:16:42.720 --> 00:16:45.519 little shady. I usually try and put myself between them 335 00:16:45.600 --> 00:16:49.759 and you, and I have my hand in my pocket, 336 00:16:50.000 --> 00:16:51.720 but it's ready for an elbow to throw up if 337 00:16:51.759 --> 00:16:54.039 I need. Like, there's these things that cross my mind 338 00:16:54.080 --> 00:16:57.679 in many scenarios. Yeah, but I do agree. Many times 339 00:16:58.399 --> 00:17:01.799 it is women who are more susceptible, which is very unfortunate. 340 00:17:02.919 --> 00:17:06.279 But we digress back to the case. So, once they 341 00:17:06.319 --> 00:17:09.759 are pushed inside, he asked Diane if anyone else was 342 00:17:09.799 --> 00:17:12.920 in the home, though she had a roommate sleeping upstairs. 343 00:17:13.400 --> 00:17:14.039 Diane lied. 344 00:17:14.480 --> 00:17:17.000 She told him no, Okay, that's good. 345 00:17:17.160 --> 00:17:19.559 Yeah. So the man then ordered both women to kneel 346 00:17:19.720 --> 00:17:21.640 in the living room and he tied their hands together 347 00:17:22.079 --> 00:17:25.920 using a vacuum cleaner cord. After binding them, the man 348 00:17:26.000 --> 00:17:29.559 left the room. Diane Sammy immediately began working to loosen 349 00:17:29.599 --> 00:17:33.079 the restraints and they were nearly free when the attacker returned. 350 00:17:33.640 --> 00:17:38.279 Enraged at their attempt, he retied their hands using a 351 00:17:37.400 --> 00:17:40.880 an iron like an iron cord. This time he's also 352 00:17:40.960 --> 00:17:41.839 using an iron cord. 353 00:17:43.200 --> 00:17:44.920 I don't feel like that would hold very well, but I. 354 00:17:44.880 --> 00:17:47.200 Don't think it would. I don't think it would, but yeah, 355 00:17:47.240 --> 00:17:50.160 he retied their hands, and at knife point, forced both 356 00:17:50.200 --> 00:17:53.279 women into a bedroom using a knife that he grabbed, 357 00:17:53.319 --> 00:17:57.400 most likely from the kitchen. The women complied, but as 358 00:17:57.400 --> 00:17:59.559 soon as the man left the room again, they sprang 359 00:17:59.559 --> 00:18:03.200 into action. Diane threw herself against the door, slamming it 360 00:18:03.279 --> 00:18:06.119 shut behind the man. Sammy, still holding her phone in 361 00:18:06.119 --> 00:18:07.279 her pocket, quickly. 362 00:18:07.000 --> 00:18:09.680 Dialed nine okay one, yes. 363 00:18:11.039 --> 00:18:13.680 Now I'm not too sure if the I don't think 364 00:18:13.720 --> 00:18:17.119 the phone could fully connect. I'm not certain exactly, but 365 00:18:17.400 --> 00:18:20.519 the attacker burst back into the room and smashed the 366 00:18:20.559 --> 00:18:25.240 phone against the wall.
