Our story today takes us to Knox County, Indiana where, in 1975, a couple was approached while together late at night on a lover’s lane, not once, but twice. The woman was kidnapped and her date was subdued. He was helpless as he watched the girl he so desperately hoped to be his girlfriend get dragged into another car.
