(12,051 posts)living in Tallahassee, and I walked past his residence ("The Oaks"
EVERY DAY on my way to class. I have no idea whether I've actually met him, but I am certain I saw him a few times. I was his type -- long brown hair parted in the middle. (
)
The dorm where he attacked those 4 girls was about a mile from my house. The student who was attacked in her own house lived about a quarter mile from the house where I lived with my female roommate.
When we woke up to the news that a killer was still loose, we were totally freaked out. The stores in Tallahassee were instantly sold out of guns, bullets, etc. You couldn't even get a dog from the pound, IIRC. It was a horrible time; very frightening.
Years later, when I read some of the techniques he used to pick up girls to murder, I shuddered. I would have totally fallen for some of them. (He used to wear a cast on his arm and ask you to help him put something in his VW -- then he'd bash you over the head and throw you in, too.)
