Hi crime junkies, I'm your host Ashley Flowers and I'm Brett.

And the story I have for you today is about what can happen when an innocent teenage girl

unexpectedly crosses paths with someone who is more monster than man.

This is the story of Lisa Norell. I'm going to be. Oh, On a Friday night in November of 1998, Minnie Norell watches as her 15-year-old daughter Lisa

heads to the Ides Hall in Antioch, California, garment bag and new black shoes in hand.

You see, one of Lisa's friends is going to be having her

keen sineera soon and tonight is this rehearsal for the big event. So as

Minnie gets back on the highway for the quick drive home to their house a

few miles away in Pittsburgh, I kind of picture her taking a little

involuntary sigh of relief because reporting suggests that they had arranged for a friend's

parent to bring Lisa home after the party.

So you know what that means.

Like Minnie is officially off mom duty for the next few hours.

She gets to clock out.

Yeah.

She was what she wants to watch on TV.

Take a nice relaxing bath if she is so inclined.

I mean, heck, she might even get a little crazy and go to bed at a reasonable hour.

Indulge in those, you know, little luxuries that mom so often go without.

But she ends up waking up a little before 3 a.m. on

Saturday, November 7th feeling a hint of anxiety that she can't quite put her

finger on and I'm sure she starts kind of clicking through things in her mind trying to figure out why she feels so unsettled.
