Richard Evonitz Victim Escaped

In 2002 in South Carolina, 15-year-old Kara Robinson was kidnapped and assaulted by serial killer Richard Evonitz, who held her captive for 18 hours. Robinson carefully studied her surroundings and deliberately acted calm to make Evonitz feel comfortable and lower his guard. When he left briefly, she escaped from the apartment and ran for help. Robinson then gave police detailed descriptions of the apartment and neighborhood she had memorized, information that helped investigators identify the serial killer, who later died by suicide when officers attempted to arrest him.
