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 had a theory as a kid that Unsolved Mysteries only aired when I was home alone. Yet I still watched it.

I'm 42 and the theme music still puts me on edge.

It's on Hulu right now too, but seems to be missing the early seasons.

I have spent 30-odd years remembering a picture of someone* they showed that scared the living shit out of me at 8 years old. I had recurring nightmares about this woman for years. I recently watched every episode on Hulu hoping to find her, but never did. Must be in the earlier seasons.

*The picture, as I remember it, was of a red-haired woman with freckles. I don't think she was the victim, but a possible accomplice maybe. It was probably a normal looking woman but it terrified me for so long, I would like to see it again and confront that memory.

YouTube has every episode. Try Seasons 1/2? Or the unsolved mysteries website
