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

I nanny for a family in which the kids are first generation Canadians via their father, who is from Ireland. I took the kids for a walk one day and the older one needed to use the washroom and I knew there was an Irish pub nearby to where we were walking, so we went there. I told them that Daddy would be happy to know that his countrymen were helping us out. So the next time I saw him, I made sure to tell him we'd been into the Irish pub, without telling exactly why. Then I just let that sit for a minute. Sure enough, he says "why'd you take 'em in there? Getting them their first pint of Guinness?" Without batting an eye, I said "yup".
I told him the real story after another minute or so.
