She was shaking with fear. Here, she would be brutally raped and used as a sex slave for 26 hours. Little did Lisa know, her captor was a notorious serial killer and sexual sadist, who by that stage, had raped more than 50 women in the Miami-Fort Lauderdale area before he moved to Tampa and tortured eight women, dumped their bodies and sent the community into a frenzy of terror. He would abduct, sexually assault and murder another two women after her.
His reign of terror lasted eight months. It smells very new. He directs me to the bathroom, orders me to take my clothes off, and we step into the shower.
