Stormy 21- your post regarding some SK's keeping newspaper clippings of the stories of their killings resonated with me and made me remember a very curious incident that happened when I was in my 20's living in Bremerton, WA.
I was a very trusting and naïve young girl at that time and but for the grace of God, or naïve good luck, I got into some crazy situations but never had anything really bad happen to me. I look back now and seriously shake my head at myself!
I met a man, probably at a bar, because I used to go out dancing all the time back then and even go by myself. He asked me out and our "date" was to meet for a bite to eat at a local diner type place.
I drove there and met him. He had a big scrapbook with him and in it were newspaper clipping after clipping about the murders of a couple who had disappeared off a ferry. I even remember him telling me that "it was someone they met on the ferry on the ride over that they befriended and thought was a nice guy" I thought it was weird. I thought the whole conversation was super weird. He seemed obsessed with this couple.
So it gets even weirder...while we are sitting there (and by the way, we never ordered anything, he showed me this book right away) a guy walks in..its his friend! His friend joins us...and the guy I met acts like this was the plan all along. Like, here she is, I told you about her....needless to say at that point, I say I have to leave and I did.
Never saw or talked to him again. Never thought much about it, but I always felt that I dodged a bullet.
Now come to find out, I am pretty sure it was this guy- and I think his friend was in on this...or knew of this...
