Good looks may have got her saved, but it’s also what likely got her in the situation in the first place. Lucky that she was noticed by the two teenagers, but unlucky that she was noticed by the kidnapper.
Wonderful story.
But it’s a fair question about the looks. Perps like this guy have done harm to all kinds of women. Women in their 90’s, for crying out loud. So it’s fair to ask, if the woman in the back seat had been “unattractive,” i.e., not appealing to these two young men, would she have received more than a fleeting glace, enough to get a message across? Or an old woman, saying “help me?” Hard to say, given how important looks are in our culture.
