What is the story behind Mark Twitchell's garage?
In early October 2008, Jill's Tetro was online on the plentyoffish.com website, which is a dating site.
I saw this lady. She had blonde hair. She was about 5'6". She was very attractive looking. And what was her name? Her name was Sheena. Sheena. Yeah. I messaged her. She messaged me back, how about we go to dinner and a movie? I thought that was a great idea. She wouldn't give me the house number, but she just sent me really, really good directions on how to get there. He thought, what's the worst that could happen? I was actually late, so I was driving quite fast to get there. She said, I'll just leave the garage door open for you. And then you just go in, go through the garage. I don't think he ever imagined in a million years what would happen to him in that garage. It was dark. Then I kind of looked around for the door she told me to go through.
And that's when somebody came out and attacked me from behind. Somebody puts me in this hole, and he's prodding me with this thing. And all I can see is it's kind of almost like a baton, and it's turning blue. I finally look back, and that's when I see this man with this painted-up hockey mask. This is just unbelievable. This is what movies are made of. We're just both standing there looking at each other, and that's when he pulls out this gun. He finally yells at me, and he says, get down on the ground, put your head down, close your eyes, and put your hands in the back. I don't know if he's going to kill me or not. He's a cold-blooded, heartless killer.
How did Gilles Tetreault survive a real-life horror movie plot?
I started tearing up while I was down on the ground. And he's deciding that I've got to do something or die. I mean, it's a life and death decision.
All I could think about was that I never told anybody where I'd be. If I died right then and there, no one would know what happened to me.
Screenplay for Murder, tonight's 48 Hours Mystery.
When I first saw him, I look back and I see this man kind of hovering over me with a hockey mask. I just chill down my back. Wow, this is no date.
Lured to a garage on the pretense of a date with an attractive woman he thought he met online, 33-year-old Jill Tetra was now being held hostage by an apparent madman in a scene straight out of a horror film.
He's about like six foot and has this black and gold hockey mask.
The hockey mask-wearing man had ordered him to the ground at gunpoint.
And he tore a piece of tape, and he covered my eyes with it. I start hearing different things, like a jingling noise and stuff like that. In my head, it's just racing. It's like thinking, what's going on? What is he going to do? Is he taking another weapon out? Jill decided he wasn't waiting to find out. I can't do this, I gotta fight back. So I got up and ripped the tape off my eyes. He was stunned that I got up and started yelling at me to get back down on the ground. Instead, he grabbed the attacker's gun. When I grabbed the gun, I felt the gun was plastic. This is the greatest feeling I ever felt in my life because then I knew I had a fighting chance to get away. I punched him and I felt really weak. I'm like, wow, why was my punch so weak?
What Gilles didn't realize was that he had been weakened by the effects of the stunned baton. And then he starts punching me on the side of the head.
