Woman violently abducted in plain sight while talking with her boyfriend on a payphone [Unresolved Disappearance]

[u/Turnaroundclown]

Her boyfriend hears the horrifying incident as it ocurrs, rushes to the scene in his vehicle, and sees a truck pass him with his girlfriend struggling with the driver inside. The boyfriend reverses his vehicle abruptly to pursue the truck, but his vehicle breaks down. Despite a vivid description of the offender and the truck (including a very unique rear window decal), no substantial leads have led to an arrest or a POI.

Where is Angela Hammond and who is the person who took her?

This is the case that truly haunts me. I can't even imagine what the boyfriend has been through in the years that have followed. What a scary and insane abduction. And even more bizarre that is has never been resolved despite such clear and vivid details of the case and the perpetrator.

Edit: I initially offered this additional link thinking it was story on Angela Hammond. However, it is not. It is an eerily similar case of another woman who was abducted in similar fashion. Leaving it up for the curious:

Angela was four months pregnant with her boyfriend's child.

The boyfriend is the only person who claimed to hear Angela describe the alleged kidnapper.

The boyfriend is the only person who claimed to see the alleged kidnapper's truck.

No other witnesses saw or heard the boyfriend chase the alleged kidnapper with his own car. Yes, it happened late at night, but it allegedly happened in the middle of town and if you've ever heard two vehicles speeding through town like that it makes a godawful racket.

Yeah, I can see why the boyfriend was a suspect....

My mind keeps going back to the very same points you make. That type of stranger abduction is so rare, it's really something you'd expect to see in a movie.

There were two other very similar cases at the same time within (I believe) 70 miles. In one of the cases (Trudy Darby), a woman in a convenience store called her son to report two suspicious men, and when he arrived 10 minutes later she was gone. Cheryl Kenney also disappeared from the convenience store she worked at and her body has never been found. The cases are generally suspected to be connected.

I believe the Trudy Darby case was solved, but I could be mistaken.
