Last night I read a story about a local girl that has gone missing ( http://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/nova-...-car-found-in-harrow-ont-2-arrested-1.2543231). The suspects they have in custody now, are known to the victim, but last night they weren't sure. This gave me the creepy-weepies. She went to my alma mater (even the same program), and she's just a few years younger than me.
My thoughts spiraled into a horrible steam of:
*This could have been me!
*How many dangerous people do I come across every day?
*How many people are a few minutes away from being victims?
* and on and on and on....
So, because I wasn't creeped out enough, I began looking at active serial killers - it was a logically leap at the time - and was amazed at how many are out there!
Here are some sites I found:

http://www.mayhem.net/Crime/killersatlarge.html
I was also reminded of a story about my good. She use to work at an this toy company, and there was this one older man (the owners husband) who just wasn't right....they thought he was harmless, but still gave him the creeps. One night a coworker of hers was working late and alone with him. After they closed, he offered her a ride home. Because she didn't feel comfortable with being alone with him (or him knowing where she lived), she declined.
A week later the police arrested him because he had killed and assaulted two prostitutes. They found duct-tape and rope in his car, and of course other forensic evidence linking him to the murders....but just think- that could have been HER! My friend worked with this guy! She was alone with him, and talked to him....uuuugh! Creepy!
Do you guys have any close encounters like that? Or any thoughts you'd like to share about the topic?
