Good Samaritan Abducted, Raped
Law Enforcement . News . Self-DefenseASHFORD, CT, USA —
A woman who said she had stopped to help a stranded motorist was apparently abducted Monday, raped and left tied to a tree, state police said. The 30-year-old woman was found at about 5:30 p.m. Monday in the woods near exit 72 off Interstate 84 tied to a tree. She told police she stopped to help a disabled trucker when the truck driver abducted her forcing her into the cab of the tractor trailer were he sexually assaulted her. After the rape the truck driver tied her to a tree near the edge of the highway. Police were searching Tuesday for a tractor-trailer equipped with a sleeper cab, and its driver, described as a black man, no other description was released. No arrests had been made.
I only wish this woman had taken a self-defense and/or an awareness seminar, this might not have happened. Our hearts go out to her in hope that she will recover quickly and fully.

You’re correct it always easy to second guess…and make assumptions, which in cases like this we should not do.
I just heard an update on the case. A witness has come forward with some information, hopefully a license plate number. Also the woman was flagged down by the trucker and he asked to use her cellphone, he then dragged her out of her car. Stopping like this is something I like to think most of us would do out of goodwill. Unfortunately there are predators out there that prey on our goodwill. From the details released she is lucky to be alive.
What was she thinking?! A woman stopping alone to help a stranded trucker?! She couldn’t just call for help?! I know it is easy to second guess but come on!
