Today I read a story in the SF Chronicle about a memorial for Chelsea King. She is a 17 year old girl who was murdered in San Diego. This may sound macabre but I’ve been thinking about someone else in that article. She is unnamed, but this is what it said;

“John Gardner, 30, has pleaded not guilty to Chelsea’s murder and the attempted rape of another woman in December.”

I just want to raise this question rhetorically. Who is this other woman and how did she escape this man? I have seen photos of him and he is formidable, he may be a serial killer and yet, this unknown woman got away. Whoever she is, I’m sure she has a horrific story to tell but it is one of successful defense. I feel so heartened by the fact that not only is she alive, but she can testify against this guy.

F’ing bravo.
