They showed a picture at the time, of the little coffee shack she worked in. It was in a parking lot of a shopping center. The snow that been plowed was piled very high & obscured the view from the nearby street. She was alone and no one could see what was happening.
I can only hope that at the very least this was a lesson for others.
I bet this isn’t something that happens in Anchorage a lot. But then I bet people in Alaska know how to take care of a lot of situations without “bothering” the police. All that open space...
