In today's case, Sidney takes you along the journey of a 15-year-old hitchhiker picked up by a seemingly normal 50-year-old man named Lawrence. It all seems fine and dandy until Lawrence gets a little too comfortable. Mary Vincent is a naive young woman unaware of the dangers of hitchhiking. She just wants a ride to see her grandfather in L.A. but she would never make it. Her world would be flipped upside down by the hands of "grandfatherly like" Lawrence Singleton. Unfortunately, Mary wouldn't be the last woman to encounter his dark side.
