Found this article in today's Valley News...I know it happens everywhere, but it is one of the first things I thought of when I heard about Maura Murray...somebody driving by and forcing her off the road...then waiting for her....fortunately this woman got away somehow. There is more to the story and a composite picture on the Valley News site:

Cops: Rapist Forced Woman Off Route 120

Lebanon -- Police are on the lookout for a man they say forced a woman off Meriden Road on Friday night, pulled her out of her car and sexually assaulted her.
...............
The attacker was armed with a weapon, police said, but Lt. Scott Hunt declined to say what kind. He said identifying the weapon could compromise the investigation.
According to Hunt, the woman was driving north toward Lebanon when a black Ford Ranger pickup truck passed her and sped down the road. But as the woman proceeded north, right before the Laplant Road intersection, the Ford Ranger was back and forced her off the road.
........ assaulted in a pull-off, the woman was able to get back into her car and drive away, said Hunt. He said he did not know whether her attacker let her go or whether she escaped.
.............
The woman described her attacker as a white male, approximately 6 feet tall, with a large build. He had short blond hair, blue eyes and a prominent tattoo on his left bicep. He was wearing earrings in his left ear.
..............The part of town where police said the attack occurred is rural but by no means remote: Houses with big yards come one after another on the stretch of road. A number of other residents interviewed yesterday said either they heard nothing or were not home around the time of the incident.
..........
This is the second report of a rape by a stranger this month. On June 1, a Bethel woman reported that a man had entered her house while she was sleeping and assaulted her, Vermont State Police have said.
The victim, who was alone in the house, did not give police a description of the man that they could go on. Her attacker was unarmed, police said.
Hunt said yesterday he did not know about the attack in Bethel, but Obviously, a heightened sense of security is always good.
Anyone with information should contact Lebanon Police at (603) 448-1212.
