We can now add to the list of victims the retired 77 yr. old TCU professor
from Ft Worth whose body was found last week in Oklahoma--and the 11
yr .old in Sarasota, FL. Because of these recent abductions in daylight
hours, refresh yourself of these things to do in an emergency situation...
This is for you, and for you to share with your wife, your children, everyone
you know. After reading this, forward it to someone you care about. It never
hurts to be careful in this crazy world we live in.

1. Tip from Tae Kwon Do: The elbow is the strongest point on your body.
If you are close enough to use it, do!

2. Learned this from a tourist guide in New Orleans. 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 checkbook, 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.

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. (And better
paranoid than dead.)

6. ALWAYS take the elevator instead of the stairs. (Stairwells are horrible places
to be alone and the perfect crime spot).

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!

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 that it would crawl to the street and get run over. 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.

Please pass this on and DO NOT open the door for a crying baby. ---- This e-mail
should probably be taken seriously because the Crying Baby theory was mentioned on
America's Most Wanted this past Saturday when they profiled the serial killer in
Louisiana.

I'd like you to forward this to all the women you know. It may save a life. A candle is
not dimmed by lighting another candle. I was going to send this to the ladies only, but
guys, if you love your mothers, wives, sisters, daughters, etc., you may want to pass it
onto them, as well.

Send this to any woman you know that may need to be reminded that the world we live
in has a lot of crazies in it and it's better to be safe than sorry.
