Women take scary chances for money. The almighty dollar brings joy and heartache. Did you ever hear about Flashlight Annie? Do you know that she is just across the river from New York? Some prostitutes work almost every truck stop, and they set up shop at rest stops along the major highways across the US. There is a hill named Flashlight Annie, for the prostitutes who works near Exit 18 off Interstate 78 in New Jersey. At a truck stop, a trucker can get almost anything he wants. A hot meal, diesel fuel, a shower, a shave and sexual services. All they have to do is turn the CB to Channel 19 and listen to spicy talk from ladies of the night. A Texas trucker, Chopper says that he has driven 48 states, and it's everywhere. It has been stated that Prostitution is a part of trucking just as the CB radio and the interstate highway, since the 1940s. The area has been worked by three generations of Flashlight Annies - mother, daughter, granddaughter. Although the business of selling sex to truckers is virtually unnoticed by the public, it came to light when an Allentown prostitute was murdered at a New Jersey truck stop. Donna Marie Watson Daniels, known as "Blondie" at the Hunterdon and Kuhnsville truck stops, was found dead on Palm Sunday in her car at the Hunterdon Truck Center on Interstate 78, about five miles east of Phillipsburg. The 35-year-old woman died from "multiple gunshot wounds to the head," stated by the Hunterdon County Medical Examiner. This tragic situation did not stop Flashlight Annie. And life goes on.
