IN THE 1970’S AND 1980’S LOS ANGELES WAS A HUNTING GROUND FOR SERIAL KILLERS, THE NIGHTSTALKER, THE  HILLSIDE STRANGLER AND THE TOOL BOX KIILLERS. THERE WERE NO CELLPHONES, PEOPLE OFTEN HITCHIKED ALONG THE CALIFORNIA ROADS AND THE AREAS AROUND LOS ANGELES WERE NOT AS POPULATED AS THEY ARE NOW. LAURA’S WORK WITH THE TOOL BOX KILLER HAS BEEN FOCUSED ON GETTING INFORMATION FROM BITTAKER ABOUT OTHER VICTIMS WHO MIGHT STILL BE MISSING SO SHE CAN HELP RETRIEVE THOSE VICTIMS AND BRING THEM HOME TO THE FAMILIES…. BUT THERE HAVE BEEN A LOT OF WOMEN WHO HAVE HAD RUN INS WITH THESE SERIAL KILLERS AS TEENAGERS AND DIDN’T EVEN KNOW IT. IMAGINE LOOKING BACK ON YOUR TEENAGE YEARS AND REALIZING THAT YOU HAD BEEN INCHES AWAY FROM BECOMING A VICTIM OF A SERIAL KILLER? WELL TODAY WE ARE GOING TO BE SPEAKING TO TAMMY DUNN , SHE WAS A TEENAGER IN VENTURA COUNTY RIGHT OUTSIDE OF LOS ANGELES IN THE LATE 70’S AND SHE HAS A CHILLING STORY OF HOW SHE CROSSED PATHS WITH ONE OF THE WORLD’S MOST NOTORIOUS SERIAL KILLERS AND LIVED TO TELL ABOUT IT.
