Desperate to find help, though, they just started screaming in the hopes that one of the boats on the reservoir nearby might hear them and investigate the sound. Oh, my God. It took some time, but about 15 minutes later, which, imagine 15 minutes.

Must have felt like 15 days.

Must have felt like 15 days.

Yeah, easy, 15 years. A local fisherman, Richard Fong, heard the cries for help, and he went to get a park ranger. In the meantime, Cecilia actually luckily had regained the use of one of her arms, and she managed to free Brian's hands, which let him untie all the remaining bindings.

Believing that no help was coming because they can't hear anything coming back, Brian decided he needed to get to the main road and flag down a passing car. He's been stabbed in the back eight times. I was just going to say, like, Jesus. Luckily, he only had to make it about 225 yards, but even still, that is incredibly impressive.

When he was spotted by Ranger Dennis Land, who had heard the broadcast about Fong's report and started making his way to the scene. At that same time, Fong and Park Ranger William White had gone back to the shoreline by boat, along with another couple who had also heard the noise. So a ton of people are arriving on scene. Damn.

By the time everybody reached Cecilia, it was clear that her injuries were a lot more serious than Brian's. Oh, God. Because she's been stabbed in the abdomen, too.

Yeah.

Yeah.

Like, the groin. The groin. And a few more times. And they're more serious than Brian's, but his injuries are still really bad, too. Like... So that's saying a lot that hers were so bad. Ranger White would later say, I've seen a lot of things. People cut by boat blades and such, but never anything like these two nice kids just cut to pieces. Oh, my God.

So White immediately called an ambulance, and the group started tending to Cecilia the best they could while they waited for help to arrive. But unfortunately, the lake was in a remote area pretty far from any main road, so it took the ambulance and additional law enforcement almost 45 minutes to arrive. Holy shit. Yeah.

The MTs, when they got there, loaded both victims into the ambulance and wasted no time getting to the hospital. But by the time they reached their destination, almost two and a half hours had gone by since the attack. And though Brian was still conscious, Cecilia had fallen into a coma. Oh, no.
