As to why you find "this morbid stuff" so fascinating: 1) it's actually comforting to know all the details, so that you can be convinced it could never happen to you. 2) Our empathy draws us to humans suffering. 3) Fear and excitement are closely related. When something is scary but safe (you're only reading about it, for instance), it stimulates endorphins and gives us that roller coaster rush. In other words, it's because you're human, like the rest of us! 😁

I remember when this happened. I was seventeen in 1978 and, even though I lived in Illinois and this happened thousands of miles away in California, it still made the front page of our local paper. I can remember sitting in the cafeteria with my friends talking about it. Like a lot of teenagers in the 70's, I hitchhiked to get where I was going when I couldn't get a ride. The day I heard about the Mary Vincent case was the day I stopped. That a man could do something so horrible was absolutely beyond me as a teenager and even now, as a woman in my 60's, I still can't totally comprehend it. Kudos to Mary for going on to have a good life after what she went through.

According to an online article I read, she was able to reduce the bleeding by sticking her stumps in the mud. I’m not a fan of the death penalty because we’ve gotten it wrong too many times-I hate the idea that we’ve killed innocent people. But there are cases like this where there is no doubt of guilt and the crimes are so heinous that, just like anyone else, I’d weep no tears if they executed him. Thing is, he couldn’t be executed for what he did to Mary since she survived the attack. So the remedy for his crime would have been to give the judge discretion in cases like this to give life without parole. Which they finally did-but only after another woman suffered and died. We definitely need to take a hard look at our criminal laws and penalties because they’re inconsistent and sometimes nonsensical.

The criminal got out of prison early because of good behavior and the okay from the parole board. I think her parents did not know she was coming back home. She was at her grandfather's place and when he went out, she took off for home. I would assume if the grandfather knew that she was going to hitchhike home, he would eventually call the parents to make sure she made it home. If the parents said no, maybe there would have been an investigation of a missing child which start right away unlike adults, one has to wait 2-3 days to start an investigation. Mary was a rebellious teenager and maybe ran away before, but she always came back home. A repeat runaway, the police might not take an active look for her. If the parents reported her missing and CA put out the word and a picture, maybe the other two hitchhikers would have recognized that was the girl with them. Those two could have called the police with their story, describe the man and van and what would be really smart, since they felt uneasy for a girl to go alone, wrote down the license plate. I am relieved she survived, the inspiration of one will to live and to get help and started her new life with children. I wonder if the police or other authorities gave her protection or a new name, I.D. so the criminal will not be able to find her after his threat in the courtroom. One thing about this case, the girl hitchhike from Las Vegas to L.A. to her grandfather's. Then she was homesick and wanted to get back to Vegas. How did she get to Modesto from her Grandfather's home. Modesto is Central CA, way north of L.A. L.A. to Vegas is somewhat SE and a 5-hour drive. CA is a liberal state. Criminals have been treated to unfair penalties due to the restrictions of the law. Right now, the attorney general in our city has a no-bail for those who commit crime. I do not know if someone murdered someone if the get released. The scare of jail, or the criminals know they will not go to jail, what is the incentive for them not to do it again. CA has the death penalty, but there are years of appeals, etc... that most likely the criminal will die first in jail than to suffer the death penalty. If you do not know already, we had some very terrible criminals in jail that died before they got the death penalty. CA is humane on what is cruel and unusual punishment and now we have the lethal injection death penalty. If one would want a little pain and fear, bring back the electric chair. Hanging is too quick. I do not think we had too many people put to death since they brought back the death penalty, unlike TX, FL and other southern U.S. states. If you are interested, read the crimes of those who should have put to death than having to die of natural causes or sickness. In CA and the greater Los Angeles and San Franciso areas, Richard Ramirez (the Night Stalker), Bruno (I forgot his first name, the Hillside strangler, his partner/cousin Kenneth Bianchi was tried for another crime after the L.A. and WA gave him life in prison. I assume he does not want to come back to CA and do his punishment of death). Both of these criminals, besides killing their victims, it is the torture of what they did that is so disgusting. The other is Charles Manson. He did not actually kill the victims, but his influence of his followers did the deed for him. I am for the death penalty, but I do not think I can be on a jury and sentence someone to death. With these three killers, there is no help, sympathy for them and I can see myself without any guilt to sentence death. Two other criminals was somewhat fascinating about their stories were, Jeffrey Dahlmer (killed in prison), BTK in Kansas and the Clown/Artist (somewhere in the mid-west, maybe IL) that actually died by the death penalty. I cannot remember their names.

Kabir, my Uncle, who was one of the top 3 Homicide Investigators in California at that time, put this asshole in prison for what he did to Mary. Singleton got out of prison early, because back then, if you worked during incarceration, you got time taken off your sentence. My uncle had gone on a cruise and guess who was a few tables away from him? Yep. Singleton. Singleton supposedly didn’t recognize my Uncle but I’m not so sure about that. When he killed the second victim, he did it on the exact day, a year to the date, of my Uncle passing away. I think he knew my Uncle died and Singleton wanted to be brought back on the news for another killing, in order for old news footage, (shown, so the public would remember who he, (Singleton), was) , of my Uncle to be seen, by my family, so we would be hurt by it. I remember that my Uncle would get calls from Mary because he made her feel safe. The Bionic Woman, Lindsey Wagner, met with my Uncle and Mary, in order to offer her words of strength and encouragement, I believe. I never met Mary but I remember this well. He was pure evil and I’m glad he’s dead. Mary has become a mother and wife. She is an artist. He did NOT win! Mary is, truly, a woman of unfathomable courage and strength.

Hitchhiking was actually more common in the 1930's and 1940's. By the 1960's - there were plenty of cautionary tales, and it mostly faded out (in my experience) during the 1970's. It still occurs, but it is pretty rare. I was a teenager in California in 1978 - for a 15 year old girl to hitchhike alone was (crazy) stupid. But there is a whole lot of that in this story. Las Vegas is 270 miles from LA - across the Mojave desert. Now - she leaves LA and ends up in Modesto - Modesto is completely the wrong direction - North instead of East-Northeast and further from LA than Las Vegas (312 miles) (Imagine going to Liverpool from London, when you actually wanted to go to Norwich) But, there really are no words to describe this sick (person)

If you want to look it up, the Highway should be Hwy 99. Another evil crime that occurred in the same area is the Chowchilla school bus hijacking. There’s videos about it

Lots of variables comes into play that leads someone to do such horrific things. Whatever the variables are it requires having no emotional attachment which leaves you with no empathy for others. Next, a motive to justify the behavior. And lastly an opportunity to present itself. This will give that person confirmation that what they are about to do is supposed to happen or this event wouldn’t play out in their favor. I work with people who can do such horrific things.

California has very weak laws and the laws they have protect the criminals. Florida, the state which handed down the death sentence, however, has very strict pro-victim laws.

Wait. Are you saying that his "second" victim was in the state of Florida? That's a pretty important detail for Mr Ballen to have left out.

@Kabir Considers, this was before the death penalty, and now it is extremely unfortunate is that you have people speaking out against having the death penalty for “people” like him, saying that he deserves to live with what he did, when most of them they don’t give a flying F.

I used to be in favor of the death penalty, but I no longer do. First, there have been innocent people put to death, two, I feel that a supermax prison is more punishment than any death sentence. Not a good idea to hitchhike! A guardian angel was with her. Thank God she survived this horrific attack.

That was a different time. I graduated high school in 1976 and knew nothing of the world. I am not even sure I knew the word molestation. To say naive, most of us were except maybe the'fast kids'. So many kids did run away but there weren't the resources we have today. Once a kid left they were gone. Even in the mid to late 70s there was still a quasi 'hippie' ethic.

Greyhound bus isn't much of an alternative. Look up the Greyhound Bus Beheading, or some other things that have happened on Greyhound busses

I hitch hiked throughout Mexico in 1981. I wouldn't do that today, too many crazies nowadays.

Teens make emotional decisions by nature. It's up to ALL parents to see around corners, swallow your pride and any anger and make them safe regardless.

Fuck me. I live in the Bay Area and I have always been fascinated with true crime. This was genuinely hard to listen to knowing how gross this was and how close to home it is. For all the horror stories I listen to this was genuinely Texas Chainsaw level. What in the genuine fuck.
