After sitting in the car together for a while, John admitted that he didn’t have a wife or children. He told her that he was thinking of what to do with her, while she cried and said she wanted to go home.
Eventually, he kept on driving. They reached another gas station, which he pulled into and parked. She got out of the car as quickly as possible as he tried to explain to her that he was trying to teach her a lesson “not to hitchhike with strangers.” Some lesson!
At the gas station, she called the police and her friend. Unfortunately, the police weren’t much help and claimed they didn’t have enough evidence to find who John was.
“I mean, I definitely never hitchhiked again,” she explained. “So if it was a lesson, it certainly worked. I never heard anything back having to do with the case. I never heard of any other odd experiences up there – maybe it was just one man trying to teach me something.”
What would you have done if you were in her shoes that night?
