Summary
19-year-old Jennifer Asbensen desperately needed a ride to work after missing the bus one evening in September of 1992. When a seemingly kind stranger pulled up and offered one, Jennifer hesitated, but ultimately decided to get into the car to avoid being late and losing her job. However Jennifer was about to be abducted, tortured and almost killed in a remote desert by one of America’s most prolific serial killers.
