The Woman On The Road
“I was en route home from a 12-day vacation. Driving a pickup pulling a fifth wheel RV. It was about 11:00 pm on a Saturday night in late July and I was about 2 hours from home, trying to make it home yet that night.”
“I was in a very rural area where there is almost no one living on about a 20 mile stretch of road. there is only 1 combination gas station/tavern/motel on here and it’s heavily wooded on both sides. It is county maintained and fenced at the tree line.”
“The shallow ditches had been mowed and the grass was about 6 inches high. I only saw a couple of cars on this whole stretch of road. I was going only about 50 MPH because it is heavily populated with deer.”
“I saw movement ahead so I immediately slowed more. As I passed I saw it was a young woman. Tall, fit brunette, wearing a cropped top, pleated skirt, and stockings. Walking with the traffic, just off of the shoulder.”
“I immediately thought car trouble, (though I had not passed a disabled car) or fight with boyfriend/ driver and was put out. I pulled to the side of the road, hit the emergency flashers, and grabbed the flashlight to check on her.”
“When I got to the rear of the camper, there was no one. I looked around for her. There was no way she would have reached the back of the RV before I did, so she could not have been hiding there.”
“She could not have hid in the ditches as the grass was too short. she could not have made it to and over the fence without a light in the little time it took me to get to the rear of the RV.”
“I looked where she had been walking and I saw no sign that the dew on the grass had been disturbed. I drove the rest of the way home with the hair on the back of my neck standing on end.”
