On September 29th, 1978 in Berkeley, California, Mary Vincent (15) accepted a ride from Larry Singleton (51), a merchant seaman. However, instead of taking the teenager to her destination, Larry r*ped Mary, used a hatch3t to cut off both of her forearms, and tossed her bOdy off a 30-foot cliff near Modesto, California. While Larry left the teenager for dad, Mary pulled herself back up the cliff, eventually getting the help of a passing motorist who took her to a hospital for urgent medical care. Several months after nearly ending Mary's life, Larry was convicted of r*pe, kldnapping, attempted m*rd3r, and oral sOdOmy, and he was given the maximum sentence at the time: 14 years and four months. Incredibly, after serving just eight years behind bars, Larry was released on parOle and eventually relocated to Tampa, Florida. Larry d13d in a prisOn hospital in 2001 before he could be ex3cuted for the m*rd3r of a mother of three in 1998, a year after he was released from prisOn for the attack on Mary Vincent.
