Hi. I am new to this site and I grew up in upper Arlington untill the age of 12. We moved out of state then. The year would have been 1985. Something happened to me that I will never forget and haunts me to this day. In my adult years, I've always been wanting to tell someone, like the police department in Upper Arlington, share with them what happened to me but haven't. First let me say I know nothing about this case I am posting in, I didn't know this girl. but what I have to say may be of some relevance, I don't know. When I started reading what happened to her the street names hit me, I know those street names. I lived off of Leeds Rd, I went to Wickliffe elementary and Jones jr. High. I used to ride my bike all the time, so did my friends. We rode out bikes everywhere. Well one day I was riding my bike down my street alone, it was still light out but getting dark so I want to say it was around dinner time, when I felt the worst feeling in my entire life. And this is no joke, I swear I could feel something evil behind me, and I never knew that feeling or had anything like it before of after this. When I looked back there was a car driving slowly behind me. They would not pass me, they stayed right on me. I kept looking back and I was so scared because I knew this wasn't normal and it wasn't right for someone to do that. It was a larger black or brown car, square shaped, like an Oldsmobile or Cutlass, style. I am pretty sure it had very tinted windows. I would look back and I couldn't see the person's face. I started to pettle as fast as I could and I knew I wasn't going to stop at my house because I didn't want the person to know where I lived so after I past my house I turned right on the next Street and on the corner was a house of my neighbors but there front porch had like a little area you can go behind and no one from the street would be able to see you, so I turned the corner went on their driveway crashed my bike and ran to the door and tried to hide while ringing the doorbell. No one answered. And the car stops right in front of the house and sits there for what felt like an eternity. Then they drove off.
About a week later, I'm on my bike again but I was far down the street when I looked around and saw that car again turn onto Leeds. This time I knew I was far enough away that I could easily loose them, I think I cut into someone's yard and went to another neighbors house thru the back door. In my neighborhood, you knew every car that would drive down your street. You practically knew everyone, I had never seen that car before or after that time. And I'm telling you that I know that person had intentions to harm me. I know because of how I felt and what they did and I have thought about this everyday almost because the feeling that went thru my body was like nothing I've ever felt, I knew it was evil and I knew they would kill me.
I tried to look up missing persons/ children in upper Arlington for around that time period and I never found anything untill I found this site. I'm glad I am finally able to share this. I know it isn't much, but maybe the description of the car might help. Thanks
Thank you for sharing this. I'm so sorry you went through this that's terrifying. I think you should share this with the police in this case. Sometimes they don't release descriptions of cars for a suspect. You should tell them. It might confirm something they have been investigating. Their contact information will be on Sennie's NAMUS page.
