That's absolutely the state of mind I was in. All the women in town wondered why. Who had killed our friend? Was there going to be another murder? There were strings of murders throughout that area at that time. We all were afraid. And it was apparently more important to protect, but protect the wrong person. That happened to me numerous, numerous times before.

Every morning I'd get up and I'd go out and I'd tell my dad, you know, and my dad just, I don't know what was with, weren't overly concerned. But the boot pattern were Sorrel work boots, which is, again, a very specific pattern. It's a star-shaped pattern, little tiny stars. And I noticed the size of the boot. This was a boot that this person always had on.

The footprint looked about the same size. I just knew it was this person. And this occurred on and off throughout the winter. And I would never know when it would happen. It scared the hell out of me. My parents didn't want to do anything. They didn't want to go to the police. They didn't want to cause any problems whatsoever.

They didn't want to approach this person because they felt like this person was in pain and had emotional reasons for behaving in this manner and that I wasn't really in any danger and what was really the harm. What happened next? During this period, I was definitely trying to avoid contact with this person because I had developed a healthy relationship Fear, I suppose.

And was definitely trying to limit interactions with this individual because it was incredibly difficult to act like nothing was going on. There was a reason why I had to reach out to this individual.

I often would babysit for different families around town, like most people my age. And I was babysitting down the street from across from the farmhouse that I lived in. And I was taking care of a young infant. So I waited until the baby was asleep. I put the baby in bed. And I picked up the phone and I reached out and made contact. And I explained the reason for my call. And I made the ask.

And that all seemed fine. I should say he is the person that I was speaking to directly when I called. That's who answered the phone. There was, you know, attempts to act like everything was fine and normal and this was light and bright and easy. And, you know, hey, what's going on? What have you been up to? And here's what I'm doing. And, you know, are you at home?

And I, again, you know, wasn't thinking. I'm like, well, no, I'm babysitting. And I said the name of the family I was sitting for. Didn't really think too much about it. The conversation started taking this really dark turn, very sexual overtones. All of a sudden, kind of out of nowhere, I didn't see it coming. I didn't expect it. And he said to me,

You know, one of the things about you that I've always noticed is you have a mischievous glint in your eye. I was like, why is that? I kind of laughed it off and I'm very uncomfortably. I said, I don't know what you're talking about. You know, I'm just kind of a rascal, I guess, you know, I don't know. And he said, well, you know, I've been growing a beard recently. And I'm like, okay.

He's like, yeah. He goes, you know, it's really, really soft. And I think I'm going to come over there right now and show you how soft it is. I hung up the phone at that point. I was so disgusted and thought, What is this? I already had great fear of this person. And again, that incredible cold fear just went through me. And I thought, I'm in trouble here. I knew he meant it. I knew he meant it.
