LA Wilson does a great job of telling a true and horrifying story of being raped.This woman had the sense to grab upevidence such as nylon hose, shell casings, and items found in the car during her terrifying experience. Her intelligence by doing this helped to find the rapist. This book needs to be read by all women to understand that any guy hanging around, seen or unseen is a threat to her safety. What is even more astonishing is that after this guy violates her, he has the audacity to keep trying to make conatct with her.I am amazed at Wilson's strength and fortitude. I look forward to reading more of her writing. The story also shows how teamwork pays off, when people (not just women) look out for each other, especially when suspects are released from jail or prison.
Good job, Lisa!Go get 'em!
Product Description
A true story about how one woman made sure that justice was served to the man that assaulted her.
About the Author
Lisa is currently a Private Investigator and non-commissioned Security Officer. She ran for City Council in her quiet, little town, but did not win the election. She continues to speak to prisoners, Police Officer Cadet at the local college, Parole Officers, and students of Criminology about the incident that changed her life. She is still actively involved with the Citizen's Police Academy Alumni, working closely with the Police Departments in the surrounding area, and works with victims of crime, primarily drawing Forensic Sketches of the criminals.The man who abducted her was given a Mandatory Release from prison in January of 2008, but before that release, Lisa had sent out thousands of e-mail Alerts containing his information and picture, wanting women to know exactly what he looked like. This Alert was circulated throughout Texas and the United States in the event he tried to escape. He is under Super Intensive Supervision until 2035 for his crime. He is also a suspect in approximately 30 other unsolved rapes that occurred in the 1980's. In July, her abductor had a warrant out for his arrest because of an apparent parole violation, but has since been re-arrested. He is awaiting a hearing before the Parole Board to decide his fate...whether he returns to the Halfway House near Beaumont, Texas, or he is sent back to prison.Even over 23 years after being stalked by a stranger, abducted at knifepoint, and sexually assaulted, she is having to deal with trying to not only keep track of the offender, but keep others informed of his whereabouts. Lisa does not want him to have the opporturnity to reoffend...having another innocent victim added to his list.
