My daughter was running from 2 people who were chasing her. She was yelling and crying for someone to stop and help. No one did but several 911 calls were made. They couldn’t find her when they-got to where she supposedly was. The next call was about a horrific car accident. It was my daughter. She suffered traumatic brain injuries. She passed the next day. I’ve often thought that if one of those ppl had stopped she’d be alive today. If anyone out there has this to happen to them, be safe, but please do what you can to help. No parent needs to bury their child. 23:38

As to why you find "this morbid stuff" so fascinating: 1) it's actually comforting to know all the details, so that you can be convinced it could never happen to you. 2) Our empathy draws us to humans suffering. 3) Fear and excitement are closely related. When something is scary but safe (you're only reading about it, for instance), it stimulates endorphins and gives us that roller coaster rush. In other words, it's because you're human, like the rest of us! 😁

In the 1960s, my dad was in the Navy and stationed outside NYC. He was with his college buddies going to a party. They came across 2 young ladies hitchhiking and picked them up. The young ladies were going back to their dorm and my dad and his buddies were headed to a party. They asked the young ladies if they'd like to go and they declined. My dad locked the doors and said y'all aren't getting out unless you go to the party. They laughed and agreed. That's the true, creepy story of how my father met my mother 🤣

I don't think they knew, I'm sure they probably didn't want their 15 year old hitchhiking. Kabir was questioning her family and why they allowed her to take chances.

I remember when this happened. I was seventeen in 1978 and, even though I lived in Illinois and this happened thousands of miles away in California, it still made the front page of our local paper. I can remember sitting in the cafeteria with my friends talking about it. Like a lot of teenagers in the 70's, I hitchhiked to get where I was going when I couldn't get a ride. The day I heard about the Mary Vincent case was the day I stopped. That a man could do something so horrible was absolutely beyond me as a teenager and even now, as a woman in my 60's, I still can't totally comprehend it. Kudos to Mary for going on to have a good life after what she went through.

When he got out of prison one of his neighbors stopped by his house to either return a tool he had borrowed or to borrow a tool from Singleton. When he didn't answer the door, his neighbor looked through the living room window and saw a dead woman on his living room floor. He ran home and called the police which resulted in Singleton getting arrested for murder.

According to an online article I read, she was able to reduce the bleeding by sticking her stumps in the mud. I’m not a fan of the death penalty because we’ve gotten it wrong too many times-I hate the idea that we’ve killed innocent people. But there are cases like this where there is no doubt of guilt and the crimes are so heinous that, just like anyone else, I’d weep no tears if they executed him. Thing is, he couldn’t be executed for what he did to Mary since she survived the attack. So the remedy for his crime would have been to give the judge discretion in cases like this to give life without parole. Which they finally did-but only after another woman suffered and died. We definitely need to take a hard look at our criminal laws and penalties because they’re inconsistent and sometimes nonsensical.

I hitchhiker back in the late 1970s. I was on a highway, got into a fight with my roommate, got out of the car, headed back to Austin. A car stopped finally, and 5 guys and a small boy stopped. I GOT IN THE CAR. A little way past Austin's city limit, I said "this is good." They said ok and let me out. It really scared me how impulsive I was that whole day. There were not cell phones then. Teens ran away and hitchhiker across country all the time. AND not everyone has "parents." And not all parents can control their rebellious teen.

I get the feeling that although she got homesick, she probably didn’t even contact her parents, but just decided to go back the same way she did when she left. Otherwise I think her Grandad would have driven her or contacted the parents to come and get her. I can’t bear to think about how horribly she suffered. What kind of “ special stuff “ was she made of that gave her the strength and courage she needed. God Bless her!

The criminal got out of prison early because of good behavior and the okay from the parole board. I think her parents did not know she was coming back home. She was at her grandfather's place and when he went out, she took off for home. I would assume if the grandfather knew that she was going to hitchhike home, he would eventually call the parents to make sure she made it home. If the parents said no, maybe there would have been an investigation of a missing child which start right away unlike adults, one has to wait 2-3 days to start an investigation. Mary was a rebellious teenager and maybe ran away before, but she always came back home. A repeat runaway, the police might not take an active look for her. If the parents reported her missing and CA put out the word and a picture, maybe the other two hitchhikers would have recognized that was the girl with them. Those two could have called the police with their story, describe the man and van and what would be really smart, since they felt uneasy for a girl to go alone, wrote down the license plate. I am relieved she survived, the inspiration of one will to live and to get help and started her new life with children. I wonder if the police or other authorities gave her protection or a new name, I.D. so the criminal will not be able to find her after his threat in the courtroom. One thing about this case, the girl hitchhike from Las Vegas to L.A. to her grandfather's. Then she was homesick and wanted to get back to Vegas. How did she get to Modesto from her Grandfather's home. Modesto is Central CA, way north of L.A. L.A. to Vegas is somewhat SE and a 5-hour drive. CA is a liberal state. Criminals have been treated to unfair penalties due to the restrictions of the law. Right now, the attorney general in our city has a no-bail for those who commit crime. I do not know if someone murdered someone if the get released. The scare of jail, or the criminals know they will not go to jail, what is the incentive for them not to do it again. CA has the death penalty, but there are years of appeals, etc... that most likely the criminal will die first in jail than to suffer the death penalty. If you do not know already, we had some very terrible criminals in jail that died before they got the death penalty. CA is humane on what is cruel and unusual punishment and now we have the lethal injection death penalty. If one would want a little pain and fear, bring back the electric chair. Hanging is too quick. I do not think we had too many people put to death since they brought back the death penalty, unlike TX, FL and other southern U.S. states. If you are interested, read the crimes of those who should have put to death than having to die of natural causes or sickness. In CA and the greater Los Angeles and San Franciso areas, Richard Ramirez (the Night Stalker), Bruno (I forgot his first name, the Hillside strangler, his partner/cousin Kenneth Bianchi was tried for another crime after the L.A. and WA gave him life in prison. I assume he does not want to come back to CA and do his punishment of death). Both of these criminals, besides killing their victims, it is the torture of what they did that is so disgusting. The other is Charles Manson. He did not actually kill the victims, but his influence of his followers did the deed for him. I am for the death penalty, but I do not think I can be on a jury and sentence someone to death. With these three killers, there is no help, sympathy for them and I can see myself without any guilt to sentence death. Two other criminals was somewhat fascinating about their stories were, Jeffrey Dahlmer (killed in prison), BTK in Kansas and the Clown/Artist (somewhere in the mid-west, maybe IL) that actually died by the death penalty. I cannot remember their names.

Hitchhiking was actually more common in the 1930's and 1940's. By the 1960's - there were plenty of cautionary tales, and it mostly faded out (in my experience) during the 1970's. It still occurs, but it is pretty rare. I was a teenager in California in 1978 - for a 15 year old girl to hitchhike alone was (crazy) stupid. But there is a whole lot of that in this story. Las Vegas is 270 miles from LA - across the Mojave desert. Now - she leaves LA and ends up in Modesto - Modesto is completely the wrong direction - North instead of East-Northeast and further from LA than Las Vegas (312 miles) (Imagine going to Liverpool from London, when you actually wanted to go to Norwich) But, there really are no words to describe this sick (person)

When I was in my late teens though and lived in Southern California I forgot those lessons and hitched a ride to a party and smoked some weed with the driver. Nothing happened, so I was very lucky especially since there were at least 10 serial killers working in that area during that time. I don't know that I've seen a hitch-hiker in the last 20 years.

That's a very famous story. I remember her getting married with those two hooks. I always wished she had taken out Singleton's eyes with those hooks when he threatened her in court. This story is particularly upsetting for me because I'm an artist and a multi-instrumentalist. You can't exactly play lead guitar or sculpt without arms. My will to live would have had to be 100% to get justice and revenge.

I hate that in the US, child predators/child murderers when caught end up in prison for life or on death row for years. They deserve much worse. They need to be kept just barely alive for a few months so they can endure daily torture for hurting what they’ve done to their victim.

To answer your question about if hitchhiking is still legal, there are five states that have made hitchhiking illegal (Nevada, Utah, Idaho, Delaware, and New Jersey).

Modesto is far north of Las Vegas and on HWY 99(5) while Vegas is due east of Victorville on Rt 66 (15) . No-one goes to Vegas via Modesto!

If you look closely at the last picture of Singleton you will see that he looks a lot like Elmer Fudd fron the Loony Tunes.

Lots of variables comes into play that leads someone to do such horrific things. Whatever the variables are it requires having no emotional attachment which leaves you with no empathy for others. Next, a motive to justify the behavior. And lastly an opportunity to present itself. This will give that person confirmation that what they are about to do is supposed to happen or this event wouldn’t play out in their favor. I work with people who can do such horrific things.

It is very odd to see people hitchhiking but it does happen but usually in very rural areas. I’ve hitchhiked before because my car broke down along ways from anywhere with no cell phones. If you want to look it up, the Highway should be Hwy 99. Another evil crime that occurred in the same area is the Chowchilla school bus hijacking. There’s videos about it

I used to be in favor of the death penalty, but I no longer do. First, there have been innocent people put to death, two, I feel that a supermax prison is more punishment than any death sentence. Not a good idea to hitchhike! A guardian angel was with her. Thank God she survived this horrific attack.

Kabir, my Uncle, who was one of the top 3 Homicide Investigators in California at that time, put this asshole in prison for what he did to Mary. Singleton got out of prison early, because back then, if you worked during incarceration, you got time taken off your sentence. My uncle had gone on a cruise and guess who was a few tables away from him? Yep. Singleton. Singleton supposedly didn’t recognize my Uncle but I’m not so sure about that. When he killed the second victim, he did it on the exact day, a year to the date, of my Uncle passing away. I think he knew my Uncle died and Singleton wanted to be brought back on the news for another killing, in order for old news footage, (shown, so the public would remember who he, (Singleton), was) , of my Uncle to be seen, by my family, so we would be hurt by it. I remember that my Uncle would get calls from Mary because he made her feel safe. The Bionic Woman, Lindsey Wagner, met with my Uncle and Mary, in order to offer her words of strength and encouragement, I believe. I never met Mary but I remember this well. He was pure evil and I’m glad he’s dead. Mary has become a mother and wife. She is an artist. He did NOT win! Mary is, truly, a woman of unfathomable courage and strength.

@Kabir Considers, this was before the death penalty, and now it is extremely unfortunate is that you have people speaking out against having the death penalty for “people” like him, saying that he deserves to live with what he did, when most of them they don’t give a flying F.

To give her parents and grandparents a break, she ran away both times. They didn’t permit her to hitchhike. And hitchhiking was a very popular thing in the mid 20th century. Horror stories like these have actually made hitchhiking illegal in most places. It’s incredibly dangerous for both passenger and driver. You never know who you’re inviting into your vehicle or who you’re getting into the vehicle with. Never get in cars with strangers!
