Christ! She survived all of that. Amazing woman.

Ma'am, your sketch was so much better than the ones that were put out there. So spot on. So glad you survived this and have the strength to talk about this. So very sorry that you had to endure this in the first place. May God be with you always and forever.

I remember this time so well. I started nursing school in NYC in 1977 and the Son of Sam “reign of terror” was terrifying. This woman defied all odds and she sustained so much trauma. I’m so glad she made it and she believed in life.
-
I was 20 years old and a sophomore in college when this story unfolded. And even being 3000 miles away in a rural wheat farming college town full of farmers and students, we were scared to death of the "Son of Sam" saga. 😳 This woman's survival is unbelievable! 😫
-
What a sweet eloquent woman. He kept interrupting her but she told her story perfectly. What a strong woman she is
-
An unusally brave remarkable lady! Excellent interview!
-
"And then I'm a balloon deflating." That must have been terrifying. What a brave, strong woman!
-
She was so courageous then, and still has been in the years since.

She is able to describe what a lot of people who ended up dying could not tell us. Love her!
-
The woman who survived retells her story with great gestures!

i wasnt aware any of his victims survived. wow. shes so lucky to have survived after being shot several times.
-
That is amazing she was shot so many times and survived to tell the tale. Very brave woman. They need to never let him out.
-
I'm so glad I saw this. I was in my early 20s and attending Columbia University as a commuter. We were terrified. She told it so matter factly yet brought all the horror of that time back!
-
He’s smiling.. that’s terrifying!
-
Miss, I’m sorry this happened to you, but delighted you survived. Thank you for sharing your story. And may you live many more years yet.
-
He should let her tell it complete before interrupting her and asking questions.
-
this woman survived being shot five times at point blank range. that is absolutely crazy the strength she holds should never be questioned
-
I can’t imagine the trauma.
-
WOW . what a strong woman to live through all of that.
