I will admit I had not thought about this one:

Investigators would not say what they think Rowland did to Josephson from the time she got into his black Chevrolet Impala in Columbia’s Five Points entertainment district around 1:30 a.m. Friday until her body was dumped in woods off a dirt road in Clarendon County about 65 miles (105 kilometers) away.

Josephson had numerous wounds to her head, neck, face, upper body, leg and foot, according to arrest warrants released Sunday by the State Law Enforcement Division. The documents didn’t say what was used to attack her.

Josephson’s blood was found in the trunk and inside Rowland’s car along with her cellphone, bleach, window cleaner and cleaning wipes, Holbrook said.

Ride-share mistake led to death of college student, police say

I took this to the missus who hates any transportation that she does not control precisely because of this kind of danger. She figures the guy stopped somewhere reclusive and immediately attacked her to knock her out and dump her in the trunk.

There is no cajoling, no begging, no empathizing that could have avoided this. In fact, I would go as far as no hand to hand combat would have sufficed.

As a woman, you need a deadly weapon and within easy access. You can’t go dragging and searching the bottom of the purse. And then use such weapon till the bastard is no longer moving.

Ladies, please plan accordingly.
