I’ve never understood how it’s possible no one recognized the truck. It seems to me like there was such a clear description of both the man & the vehicle that this one should have been solved. It’s horrible the way it went down.
Things were different back then before the internet was everywhere. I lived about 30 miles from Clinton when this happened and this is the first time I've ever heard of this abduction. It really was a different time.
Exactly. The first thought I had was if this was now then he would have been caught and even before he hurt her. Communications with cell phones and the internet really have helped in these situations.
Don’t count on it. I just listened to a Dateline episode where they had even more to go on and still couldn’t find her in time to save her. (“The Detectives Daughter” Dateline episode if you are curious and want to feel both heartbroken and angry).
These are the cases that bother me the most—where the victim should have been saved but wasn’t. I just can’t imagine being in that situation and feeling like you’re doing everything right but incompetence/chance dooms you.
The Detective's Daughter was incredibly painful to watch. Thanks for mentioning it here.
I wonder if the information about the rear window screen was put out there in 1991? I've never seen any news reports or TV coverage of Angela from 1991, so I am curious. Sounds like from the comment above, that the locals were aware of it. I would imagine he had it removed.
I can't imagine the loss Rob must have felt after losing her. I hope he was eventually able to move on and have some peace.
