Mary Vincent's parents were going through a divorce and at the age of 15 she left home. Tired of living in cars, she decided to hitchhike her way to stay with her grandfather in Corona, CA. Unfortunately Mary never made it to Corona,

Mary was picked up by 51 year old Larry Singleton. Larry seemed like a nice old man, and she had many miles left on her journey so she accepted a ride from him. After waking up from a nap, Mary noticed they were traveling the wrong way. Mary brought it to Larry's attention who apologized and said he got lost.

They stopped at a rest area for a break and while Mary was tying her shoe, Larry hit Mary with a sledgehammer. After being sexually assaulted multiple times, Larry chopped Mary's arms off and tossed her down a 30 foot ravine leaving her for dead.

15 year old Mary Vincent fought against all the odds, and somehow climbed her way back to civilization.
