"Missing" woman tells of abduction, assault, and parang http://www.trinidadexpress.com/20161213/news/missing-woman-tells-of-abduction-assault-and-parang

Harold gave me this news article about the Missing Woman being abducted and assaulted… He said that lots of people are saying she is not being truthful. After reading I told him I believe her, because a part of her story reminded me of an incident that took place with me in a taxi 38 years-ago. On Saturday, October 30, 2010. I posted excerpts from it I called it, ‘Saved by The Bank’. I did not say it was me, but today I am going to re-post it.

One day 38 years ago, I was going to Port-of-Spain. The taxi I took from Point Fortin dropped me on High Street, San Fernando. I went to Royal Bank to get some money. After I got the money, I left the bank and walked to the Port-of-Spain taxi-stand. The driver of a taxi, was standing outside of his car, asked me if I was going to POS, and I told him yes. Before I got into the car, I saw 2 men standing about 30 feet from the car. They did not look as though they knew each other, but for some odd reason I kept my eyes on them.

A man was sitting in the front passenger seat so I got into the back, I said good morning, but he did not answer. The driver got in behind the wheel. The two men walked towards the car. When they got to it, one entered on the right and the other on the left putting me in the middle. An uneasy feeling came over me and I knew I had to get out of the car. I started to pray silently asking God to tell me what to say to get out. The driver started the car and pulled out into the traffic. I opened my handbag, pretended to be looking for something, then I said, “Oh gosh, driver, I have to make a quick stop at the bank. I forgot some papers that I would need for a meeting.”

“When you get to your meeting, call the bank, and ask them to fax the papers,” The man on my right said.

“How do you know where I am going have a fax machine?” I said.

His suggestion, had me more anxious, but I did not want to make any of them aware of how afraid I was, so in a calm tone I continued, “We are near the bank. It’s not going to take a lot of time for me to get the papers. Are you very busy?”

“Come on guys, you all know that this bitch is not comfortable around all this testosterone,” said the man on the left.

 “She must be a lesbian,” said the man sitting in the front.

“Oh really! You guys probably don’t have a mother, or you just don’t like women that is why you are speaking to me like that!” I said angrily.

“Calm down guys. Let the woman go and get her papers. We did see her go into the bank earlier, and she just came out,” The driver said.

I realized that the men were all friends and they were looking at my movements. I kept saying in my mind, ‘Lord please make the driver stop’… he eventually stopped.

When I got out I said, “Wait right here, I’m coming back.”

I walked quickly to the bank, and stayed for a bit. When I left the bank, I got into a taxi back to Point Fortin…
I know that I am not the only woman that these men tried to harm.

Women be on your Ps and Qs, there must be predators like those I encountered lurking around Trinidad and Tobago…
