Description

In 1978, fifteen-year-old Mary Vincent set out to hitchhike to California—searching for freedom, escape, and a new beginning. But what should have been a simple ride toward a fresh start quickly spiraled into a nightmare that would change her life forever.


Exhausted, vulnerable, and against the warnings of her fellow hitchhikers, Mary accepted a ride that would lead her down a dark and unimaginable path—a fight not just for escape, but for survival itself.


Her story would go on to shock and captivate the nation—a tale of courage, resilience, and the unbreakable will to live.


Join me as we revisit Mary Vincent’s harrowing journey from horror to justice—a haunting reminder that even in the face of unspeakable cruelty, the human spirit can rise above and defy all odds.
