On June 23, 1984, an unnamed 25-year-old woman was walking in the Bronx. She stopped at a convenience store and on her way out noticed someone was following her.

He drove her until his car broke down, pulled her into an empty park and assaulted her - she was badly cut and beaten, and before she lost consciousness, she heard the man's voice and saw the back of his head as he walked away leaving her for dead.
