In 2005, 27-year-old EMT, Jennifer Holliday, was living in Lufkin, TX with her son and 18-year-old cousin, Ana Franklin. 

On the night of May 29th, Jennifer was picking Ana up from a babysitting job when they decided to stop at a convenience store for a midnight snack. They had no idea that while making this (very) innocent errand there was a dangerous man watching them. What followed was a series of terrifying events, AND one of the most remarkable survival strategies you'll ever hear.
