I've been watching AMW lately, and there have been a number of gruesome
murders in South Florida. The thing that makes these unusual is that
they've taken place at malls in wealthy areas, during the day, and the
victims are either women or women with children. There have been 3 deaths
so far, and it's quite frightening. The suspect is white, asks the
victims
to drive to an ATM to withdraw cash, and then kills them. In all 3 cases
(1
survived), the victims were driving big black SUVs. I do not wish to see
a
repeat of this here in Australia. If attending a mall, park as close to
the
entrance as possible, and out in the *open* (as opposed to a multi-level
parking garage which is where these took place). Check that there's
nobody
around or in the car before going near it - the suspect probably chose big
SUVs because he could easily hide behind them or in them, without easily
being noticed. If you have such a vehicle, perhaps you could get mall
security to escort you to your vehicle. That's what they're there for.
Finally, if the worst does happen, don't resist or struggle, and avoid eye
contact. The one woman who survived did neither of these things, never
attempted to escape, and was allowed to live.
