We decided to bring you guys a survivor story today! When best friends Brandi Hicks and Liz Reiser started their girls night, the teenage girls were completely unaware of the horrors that were instore that night when they were approached and abducted by a man named Matthew Vaca in New Philadelphia Ohio in 2000. Their story is mixed with heartbreaking tragedy, strength and bitter sweet victory. This cautionary tale reminds us all to trust our gut feeling and NEVER pickup a stranger.
