Debbie was on her way back home after choir practice at her church was canceled because of the weather, when Goodwin, who had been released from a young offenders’ institute 10 days earlier, kidnapped her at knifepoint. He put her in a stolen van, before driving her to a payphone to call her father and demand $10,000. He then drove her to remote location, where he raped her. He then tied her hands and put a bag over her head, before dumping her in a field, saying he would come back for her later. She managed to get the bag off her head, before someone nearby saw her and called police.
