Of Hell: Texas True Crime, Slayer Saint Part One: Danita

In April 1974, 16-year-old Danita Ann Cash drove to the abandoned Trinity River Bridge, better known in local lore as “Screaming Bridge,” to pick up her brother from target practice. But instead of finding the boys, she encountered a stranger with a shotgun who forced his way into her car. What began as a routine favor turned into a harrowing abduction attempt that Danita survived only through courage, calm decisions, and faith. Her escape would set off a police investigation that quickly zeroed in on a young carpet layer with a dark trail behind him, a man investigators believed might be responsible for other brutal attacks and unsolved murders across Fort Worth, namely the abduction and murder of 17-year-old Carla Walker the previous February.

This is the terrifying true story of the day evil stepped out of the woods in broad daylight — and a teenager fought for her life.
