I remember this one first airing out back in 1991 or so. There was a man who grabbed a woman at a deserted vending machine and then tried to rape her. Somehow she got away and drove in her car. The man followed her. She raced into one of her friends house in a deserted area and collapsed on his porch. The rapist glared at her from his car and her friend came to help her. The man drove off.

She lived IIRC, but there was a series of rapes (and maybe even murders) and they were all tied to this man. I remember them showing the pictures of the women who were either raped or killed and all that was left was this woman who managed to get away and give a description of the man.

I can't find a video of it anywhere but if anyone can that'd be great. It was a really spooky episode too that gave you the shivers.

Also I could be wrong with this, but she either got away and the man chased her or he drove away and she drove towards her friends house so fast that she actually caught up to the man's car again. I can't remember, either way she met up with him again

That would be the NH serial killer one. The woman who was attacked (she was pregnant at the time btw) did survive the attack as well as her unborn child and has even posted on this board several times. I don't think anyone was ever arrested for her attack and the murders but there is someone who is now deceased who many believe is responsible. Can't remember his name offhand though. There is a book about the case called "Shadow of Death" by Philip Ginsburg btw.

Ah yes I gotcha, the New Hampshire serial killer. What a spooky police sketch (shudder)

Agreed. That's one of my top five favorite segments and I've seen it hundreds of times, but it still gives me chills--especially at night.

The book CD mentioned is a great read if you're interested. It was published in 1993, so there's no mention of Michael Nicholau (a man suspected of not only these murders/attacks, but the 1988 disappearance of his first wife. He indeed killed his entire family in Florida before turning the weapon on himself years later, and is even suspected of committing the "blue light rapes" on and near Virginia's portion of the Blue Ridge Parkway in the late '80s during the time he lived in Charlottesville :eek:). Jane Boroski, the woman who was attacked in the reenactment you described, has said she's positive that was the man who attacked her.

In any event, again, it's a fascinating read. Very well written, very descriptive--without all the annoying "shock tactics" and overdramatizations a lot of true crime writers today like to employ.
