Teen Escapes Woodsman's Brutal Attack
15 Jun
Summary
- A teen accepted a ride from a stranger and was brutally attacked.
- The attacker tied her and left her hanging between two trees.
- She later uncovered evidence linking him to other unsolved murders.
In 1974, Norma Countryman, a 15-year-old from Washington, accepted a ride from a seemingly friendly man, unaware of his sinister intentions. He veered off the road, attacked her, and forced her into his van, driving her deep into the woods. There, he hog-tied her between two trees, punching her before leaving her to the elements.
Despite her terrifying predicament, Norma managed to escape and find help. Authorities, however, were initially unsure of her story. The upcoming episode, "Surviving the Washington Woodsman," details her harrowing experience and the subsequent efforts to catch the assailant.
Years later, Norma and her daughter discovered crucial evidence connecting the man who attacked her to numerous other unsolved murders. This discovery shed new light on the case, revealing the attacker as a serial killer.
