I agree with you CP345. This taxi thing is really getting to me. You know, I think that SS might have been different perps, like Perpendicular said, the two that tried and failed before with the bloke hiding in the back (my Lord what a frightening experience for the poor woman, but amazingly she escaped with a broken ankle!) What if others didn't and SS was one of them? This "private taxi" idea keeps coming to me. Long before Uber of course, but easy enough to do a little moonlighting on a weekend/public holiday with a converted white car with a taxi light maybe from a wreckers yard? I don't know, maybe a clever person could just rig one up with a white light and lettering? Dark night, white car, looks like taxi, very tired, want to go home, feeling frightened and vulnerable, previous scenario of "you waiting for a taxi love?" SS (or any other poor unsuspecting female) gets in, is IMMEDIATELY attacked and restrained before she can see there is no meter inside the car etc. and off the horrible duo go into the black night. It's so sinister, but I can see how it would be extremely effective as a "lure". The more I read the more amazed I am at how many creeps were/are out there at any one time. We teach kids Stranger Danger over and over at school but maybe we should be constantly reminding young women AND men, that there is safety in numbers and not to walk off on your own and think you'll be safe, anywhere! Always have your antennae up, alert but not alarmed as they say.
