I'm a little disgusted at the moment. Tonight, I learned that one of the very sweet nurses that I work with who helped plan my work wedding shower was kidnapped at gunpoint. It happened at a local Super Wal-Mart and thankfully they drove about 12 miles then shoved her out of the car. I can't imagine how terrifying the ordeal must have been, but she is very lucky to be alive.
About 10 years ago, the sister-in-law of my uncle (we weren't related, but I knew her from family gatherings at my aunt and uncle's house over the years) was carjacked. Unfortunately, the perpetrator chose to drive a few miles, shoot her in the head, and dump her body in a wooded area off the side of the road. She had a son and daughter in college and a young son at home, obviously their lives were never the same . The bastard was caught trying to cross the Canadian border in the car; then tried, convicted and sentenced to death, though I doubt that gave anyone much comfort. Especially when Gov. George Ryan commuted everyone's death sentences before he left office as an attempt to make his legacy be that of "the compassionate pardoner" as opposed to the scammer and crook that he was. Did I mention former Gov. Ryan is in prison now?? Interestingly enough, the state of Missouri wants a piece of the scum who murdered her for another murder he committed .... maybe he won't be so lucky to avoid the lethal injection this time??
Anyway, I'm just thankful that Beverly escaped with her life, though I'm sure she'll never feel safe again.

Jenn, I am so sorry to hear about your friend and I am very happy to hear that she was not physically harmed.
I hope that Missouri gets the piece of shit that from Illinois. Lethal injection is far too nice for scum like that.
That story left me sick to my stomach and in tears. I'm so happy that your friend was not harmed. Coincidentally, I just got home from the grocery store and made someone escort me out since it was after 9 p.m. The gal who walked me out told me that Wal-Mart didn't have security cameras in their parking lots. Fortunately yours did!!! Please keep us posted as to whether they catch those a**holes.
