One Survivor: 35 Dead How I Became the Sole Kidnapped and Raped Survivor of the Casanova Serial Killer (Paul John Knowles)

I felt a strange overwhelming shadowy presence lurking behind me. The fuzzy hairs on my fragile arms immediately stood up at attention. All I wanted to do was get a cold glass of water from the kitchen faucet. Little did I know, that would never happen? A man’s booming voice startled me back to my present reality when he uttered the most chilling words I’ve ever heard in my life. The man I wish I never met convincingly said, Don’t turn around or I’ll kill you. It’s as if his words already had the power to take life from me. The glass of water I so desperately craved fell crashing to the floor along with my hopes and desires to escape this dreadful ordeal I would ever wish on my worst enemy-and it only just begun.This is an amazing true story of love, family, and survival when the infamous serial killer, Paul John Knowles, claiming to have killed 35 people during a cross-country killing spree during the summer and fall of 1974 came calling on the only kidnapped victim who survived. This is my story of survival using faith, fate, and wits to give me the needed strength that resonated throughout my life.
