Hi all! Just wanted to share some photos I took from the Angela Hammond abduction site. We were traveling through Missouri on a road trip and thought an extra 50 miles out of the way to see this would be worth it:
This is the corner where the phone booths were. Beside of the pole, this is where the phone booths faced the road.

What is left of the parking lot where the phonebooth and signs used to be:

This is the old Food Lion, it is now a multi-business complex with a rent-to-own business and a bakery. It was very busy when we were there:

We rode around in Clinton, MO to see how small the town actually was. Needless to say, it is a very small town. The spot where Angela was abducted connects to the very busy downtown area, it's very hard to believe that something so brazen could happen here.
ALSO on a footnote, in the UM segment you see a tall building with lights on beside of the telephone booths, today it now a park ran by the church the sits directly behind it.
