When you hear about violent crime, do you think to yourself, āit would never happen to me?ā
When 29-year-old Colleen Reed went to a self-service car wash in Austin, Texas, none of her family or friends thought it would be the last time they saw her.
Reed never imagined that serial killer Kenneth McDuff was stalking her.
McDuff is featured in the first season of True Crime ReporterĀ®.
I want you to understand that it can happen to you because āthey walk among us.ā
Sexual predators and killers donāt present themselves in a demonic manner and are not easy to recognize or avoid.
āThey walk among usā means that people who might hurt us may be unrecognizable as a threat.
More often than not, they are people we see in public, go to school with, date, live with, or strangers who appear trustworthy.
In our earlier episode about the teenage girl who was rescued from her kidnappers by Texas Rangers, the ring leader of the abduction was the father of one of her school classmates.
What would you do if you were ordered to get into a car and threatened if you didnāt?
Retired homicide detective David Thorton explains how and why violent criminal actors target their victims and how victims’ behavior may contribute to their vulnerability.
