Something about the story seems very odd. The guy and his girlfriend worked on the car for an hour before the perp decided to rob them?
It is strange but apparently what happened. This story was widely reported in national news at the time. Tons of hits when you google.
Paulus had told police that she saw a second woman in the woods during the incident, the AP reported.About a half a mile away from where the shootout happened, authorities found a camp where they believe Hider and a second woman, Krystal Diane Pinkins, had been living with Pinkins' young son, according to the AP.
"As officers were ordering the female to the ground, a 5-year-old child ran from the woods holding a loaded shotgun," police said, according to the AP. The child eventually put down the gun, the AP said.
My thought too!
