How many here actually know someone who was abducted? How many here know someone who was killed in a car accident?
The only abduction story I ever heard (not on the news, and FWIW I haven't watched the news since 9/11) was in my sister's neighborhood. Turned out the girl made it up to get attention from her parents...I almost killed myself twice as a teenager in car accidents, not to mention the times I almost died but didn't wreck the car.
