Russian prison wont be nice to him, some I hear can get disappeared in the prisons.

told U.S. National Public Radio that her daughter had last texted her: “In a car with a stranger. I hope I’m not being abducted.”

If she had time to text, she shoul have also taken his photo and texted that too. That would change his thinking.

34-year-old “student”. Okay....

Stranger in a strange land jumps into a stranger’s car. Murder plot writes itself.

What is wrong with being a 34 year old student. Many people go after higher ed after entering work force. My wife is 51 and a student after her Masters.

#5: "Stranger in a strange land jumps into a stranger’s car. Murder plot writes itself."

You got that right. "Lifetime Movies" (a.k.a. "We Hate Men") are allover this story like flies on s***.

[Veggie Todd]

LOL.

“34-year-old “student”. Okay....”

...and studying ‘law’ there? Sounds more like an ACTIVIST to me.

” “In a car with a stranger....”

She chose poorly.

[SouthernClaire]

God bless her family.

Bio says she was in the Marines prior to this (with one Afghanistan tour). I guess she was enrolled in the Master’s law program in Russia.

I read that and wondered what idiot would jump into a car, while on foreign land (hint, I wouldn't do here in America) of a stranger? Sometimes people ask to be killed.

What?, I am a 56 year old student working on my Masters. But I didn’t get my Bachelors until last year.

[dinodino]

I’m 51 and halfway through a Masters program…not sure why you think only kids attend uni…

[dakine]

I’m pushing 60 - thinking about going back and get my GED...

Guy thought he could take advantage of her easily, but must have put up a big fight which led to the victim getting stabbed.

[Lurker]

“In a car with a stranger. I hope I’m not being abducted.”

Hope is not a strategy.

No offense to the victim, but whatever happened to situational awareness? I thought that was part of training for anyone in the military. Am I wrong?

It sounds like she just decided to move to Russia after visiting and enjoying the lifestyle. Law is a great, highly respected profession in Russia, and you pretty much have to study it there as their system is significantly different from the US/English Common Law.

I spent a year and a half in Russia (2017-2018) and had a hard time making the decision to come back to the USA. The slightly older-fashioned lifestyle and general personal liberty that the average person can have is very attractive, especially if you live outside of a giant city.

I'm actually in Russia right now, for a nice summer vacation (had to skip last year because of CCP virus).
