City: Sumter State: SC | An awful, terrible, stressful day!!!
First thing this morning, I got a phone call that the deputy who worked at the school I work at for the first 2 years I was here was killed in an on-duty car accident early this morning. They think a deer or something ran out in front of his car, he swerved to miss it, car rolled, and he was killed instantly. He was only 36 and has at least 2 small children. Even though his death wasn't exactly due to the job, it still scares me. My younger brother has been a deputy on the same department for 6 months.
Then a little later, DH called to tell me the daughter of a friend of his was in ICU after being brutally raped, beaten and left for dead over the weekend. They haven't caught the guy who did it yet, but we are seriously afraid DH's friend is going to take matters into his own hands. If he finds the guy before the police, we doubt the guy will make it to jail.
So much sadness!!!

I can't imagine being that parent, I'd go crazy. How old is she?

So sorry to hear of what you have had to deal with today, Kathy. No news is good news and I am sure you would agree with that statement today. Hang in there!

My sympathies go to both families of the people who have suffered such tragic events.
My heart hurts for them.
I hope they all find peace eventually. You too Kathy. Sorry.

I am sorry you had such sad news today. The two things we worry about the most through life I think. The loss of a spouse or parent and the horriblle abuse of one of our children. It is all so very hard to understand.
Tina

No, she didn't know him. She was walking home from work and he was riding by in a cab. He had the cab driver stop, got out of the cab, and when the cab driver pulled away, he started beating her. He then dragged her into some nearby woods, tied her up, and raped her, then beat her again and left her for dead. She crawled out of the woods, naked from the waste down, into the parking lot of a Krispy Kreme donut shop, where the drivers were loading their trucks for morning deliveries. One of them heard her calling and went over to help her.

Thank you all for your kind words. As a parent and wife, I just can't imagine what these families have gone through in the past 24 hours. The deputy's wife was out of town when her husband had the accident and was due back in town yesterday. The sheriff and lieutenant met her at the airport yesterday to give her the news.

Oh gosh, my heart sank. *hugs to you and your family* and in my thoughts for their families, how horrid. A terrible accident for the fellow, unfortunately could have happened to anyone. But the young lady - I don't even have the words...

Update...They caught the man who raped the girl. He is a Mexican in the country illegally. They arrested him yesterday and got DNA confirmation that it was definitely him today. He has been charged with rape, kidnapping, attempted murder, and a few other things I can't remember. Yippee!!!!!!!!!!! Thanks for all your thoughts and prayers. I have to believe they really made a difference.

Great to hear that they nabbed the guy. I hope the victim is able to physically and emotionally get back on her feet again soon.
