I got this email awhile ago and have let it sit because I wasn't sure if I was going to use it or not. But because of recent abductions of women in the tri-state area and the anniversary of the death of someone I know who was killed by someone who was never caught I decided to use this exactly as I received it. Does it seem a little dramatic? Maybe, but if it saves one person who reads it then it was worth the time I took to post it. It never hurts to be over cautious and in this ever increasingly dangerous world (especially for women) you always want to be aware of something that might be a trick. I myself was approached at a gas station not too long ago and luckily I wasn't as stupid as the men were hoping I was. And remember, being a male doesn't mean you are safe either. Remember Jeffrey Dahmer?
1. Tip from Tae Kwon Do: The elbow is the strongest point on your body; when you are close enough to
use it, do!
2. Learned this from a tourist guide. If a robber asks for your wallet and/or purse, DO NOT HAND IT TO
HIM. Toss it away from you....Chances are that he is more interested in your wallet and/or purse than
you, and he will go for the wallet/purse. RUN LIKE MAD IN THE OTHER DIRECTION!
3. If you are ever thrown into the trunk of a car, kick out the back tail lights and stick your arm out the hole
and start waving like crazy..The driver won't see you, but everybody else will. This has saved lives.
4. Women have a tendency to get into their cars after shopping, eating, working, etc., and just sit
(doing their check book, or making a list, etc.) DON'T DO THIS! The predator will be watching you, and
this is the perfect opportunity for him to get in on the passenger side, put a gun to your head, and tell
you where to go. AS SOON AS YOU GET INTO YOUR CAR, LOCK THE DOORS AND LEAVE.. If someone
is in the car with a gun to your head DO NOT DRIVE OFF, repeat: DO NOT DRIVE OFF! instead gun
the engine and speed into anything, wrecking the car. Your Air Bag will save you. If the person is in
the back seat they will get the worst of it . As soon as the car crashes bail out and run. It is better than
having them find your body in a remote location.
5. A few notes about getting into your car in a parking lot, or parking garage:
A.) Be aware: look around you, look into your car, at the passenger side floor, and in the back seat
B.) If you are parked next to a big van, enter your car from the passenger door.Most serial killers attack
their victims by pulling them into their vans while the women are attempting to get into their cars.
C.) Look at the car parked on the driver's side of your vehicle, and the passenger side... If a male is sitting
alone in the seat nearest your car, you may want to walk back into the mall, or work, and get a guard
policeman to walk you back out. IT IS ALWAYS BETTER TO BE SAFE THAN SORRY.
6. ALWAYS take the elevator instead of the stairs. Stairwells are horrible places to be alone and the perfect
crime spot. This is especially true at NIGHT!
7. If the predator has a gun and you are not under his control, ALWAYS RUN! The predator will only hit
you (a running target) 4 in 100 times; and even then, it most likely WILL NOT be a vital organ.
RUN, Preferably in a zig -zag pattern!
8. As women, we are always trying to be sympathetic: STOP-It may get you raped, or killed. Ted Bundy,
the serial killer, was a good-looking, well educated man, who ALWAYS played on the sympathies of
unsuspecting women. He walked with a cane, or a limp, and often asked 'for help' into his vehicle or with
his vehicle, which is when he abducted his next victim.
9. Another Safety Point: Someone just told me that her friend heard a crying baby on her porch the night
before last, and she called the police because it was late and she thought it was weird.. The police told
her 'Whatever you do, DO NOT open the door..' The lady then said that it sounded like the baby
had crawled near a window, and she was worried had crawled near a window, and she was worried
The policeman said, 'We already have a unit on the way, whatever you do, DO NOT open the door.'
He told her that they think a serial killer has a baby's cry recorded and uses it to coax women out of their
homes thinking that someone dropped off a baby. He said they have not verified it, but have had several
calls by women saying that they hear baby's cries outside their doors when they're home alone at night.
10. Water scam! If you wake up in the middle of the night to hear all your taps outside running or what you
think is a burst pipe, DO NOT GO OUT TO INVESTIGATE! These people turn on all your outside taps full
blast so that you will go out to investigate and then attack. Stay alert, keep safe, and look out for your
neighbors!
The crying baby was mentioned on America 's Most Wanted when they profiled the serial killer in Louisiana.
