Evil Intent | FULL EPISODE | The FBI Files

in kokomo indiana an unthinkable crime terrified residents a young woman disappeared apparently kidnapped after several days of searching a former fbi profiler narrowed the suspect list to one agents and detectives followed the trail across state lines hoping to find the victim before her [Music] time [Applause] [Music] [Music] drops of blood and a torn window screen for all that was left to tell authorities what happened to a woman in indiana the 21 year old victim was snatched from her home on a bright spring morning she appeared to have no real enemies there was no clear motive i'm jim kallstrom former head of the fbi's new york office in an abduction case every second counts this case was plagued by false leads and blind alleys each one using up valuable time as agents raced to find the victim [Music] late spring 1998 howard county indiana the rural midwestern farming region was already enduring its first heat wave of the season those who weren't farmers stayed inside to avoid the heat hello 21 year old anita wooldridge was one of them um could you hold on for a second she planned to have lunch with her grandparents and boyfriend before her afternoon shift at a shipping company [Music] her boyfriend was supposed to pick her up at around noon i have to go okay but she would never make it at about 12 30 anita's mother returned home from work she was surprised to see her daughter's boyfriend standing out front anita's car was gone but it was unlike her daughter to miss an appointment or to leave the garage door her mother also noticed that the screen from the kitchen window that faced the garage had been removed perhaps someone had broken into the house the front door was unlocked anita was nowhere to be found anita anita in the kitchen mrs woldridge spotted blood on the kitchen table and floor oh my god oh yes she called 9-1-1 howard county sheriff's chief detective steve rogers responded i don't know that any of us really knew exactly what we had at that time we just knew that we had some very suspicious circumstances we had what appeared to be uh possibly a forced entry and that the screen had been removed and that some blood indicated that there could have been a violent act the detective issued an apb for anita and her blue sedan and called in a forensic team that included offices from the nearby city of kokomo technicians recorded the scene while the evidence was still fresh they retrieved blood from the kitchen but could not determine if it was anita's without a sample from the missing girl [Music] the screen found in the garage had been forced out from the kitchen window investigators dusted the area for prints none that were lifted yielded any clues detectives interviewed anita's parents to learn more about their daughter they described her as a responsible young woman who held a steady job and who would never break plans without calling we had a missing person that was responsible and would not have just run off we found nothing in our interviews with witnesses talking to family members that anita had any problems at home that she would have just taken off without any explanation the detective questioned anita's boyfriend who she had been dating for several months he claimed to have arrived at anita's at about 11 45 and had been there for 45 minutes when her mother pulled back just hanging out before that he had been with friends until around 11. that left 90 minutes during which his activities could not be corroborated he had no idea where anita might be and agreed to come to the station for further questioning if necessary authorities examined anita's bedroom mrs woldridge pointed out that anita's work clothes were still there she spoke to her daughter's supervisor but he said anita had not yet mr arrived 451-2345 the detective called again to see if she had ever shown up her employer told us that you know she shows up when she's got a cold she works when she's not feeling well she's very dependable and then fact that she didn't show up for work that particular day was very significant mrs woldridge said that the only thing missing from anita's room was a red bathrobe that she had recently embroidered for her daughter forensic technicians retrieved hair samples from anita's brush to begin the lengthy process of mapping her dna in the bathroom anita had left her glasses and contacts behind she couldn't drive without them but her car and her keys were gone mr and mrs woldridge had also discovered that their bed had been stripped of its comforter and the sheets were rumpled [Music] investigators suspected that anita may have been raped there forensic technicians processed the room for any physical evidence they examined the bed with ultraviolet light searching for seminal fluid on the sheets and blankets the bedding was clean in the garage a detective found a wad of electrical tape long strands of hair that resembled anita's were tangled inside police suspected it had been wrapped around the victim's head to hold a gag if that were true it may have meant that anita was taken from the house alive detectives spread out from the house looking for witnesses [Music] there was a neighborhood search conducted by talking to neighbors and walking areas and see if she had been seen anywhere and at the same time we were trying to develop any any potential suspects by talking to people that that she routinely came in contact with a deputy interviewed a neighbor who lived across the street from the woodrages he remembered seeing someone in front of their house that morning at about 10 30 the neighbors spotted a man carrying a blue backpack heading towards the front door he saw no one else outside after he returned from his errand a half hour later he couldn't remember if anita's car was gone by then deputies were left with only hunches as to what had happened we assumed that the worst could be an abduction but we definitely knew we had a missing person so we just wanted to at least at the very outset cover all the basics of preserving the crime scene obtaining any evidence that we possibly could and then start in the next stage of the investigation which would be doing as much background on the victim and trying to identify a suspect in in an abduction if that's what's happened after 24 hours and dozens of interviews no one had seen anita or her car detectives interviewed a man who was a friend of anita's father not really he claimed that he had spoken to anita on the phone the morning that she disappeared [Music] the wooldridge's records confirmed it can you tell me about the phone conversation the man said he called it about 10 30 or so and asked to speak to mr wooldridge hey anita said her father wasn't there and that she was the only one home [Music] before she could take a message she asked him to hold on someone was at the [Music] door [Music] anita came back to the phone only to say she had to go she did not say who would come to the house increasingly detectives were convinced that anita met with foul play if this was a kidnapping investigators suspected that whoever was responsible would make contact with the woodridge's technicians tapped the family's phone line they would be ready if a call came in investigators also began to search for anyone who might have had reason to harm anita we had no immediate suspects other than we started looking into all those people that had been in contact with anita recently detectives interviewed anita's co-workers at the shipping company [Music] but they did remember something a few weeks before she disappeared and a place where the employees often went to relax anita's co-workers saw a man approaching to death [Music] he worked with him at the shipping company and it had several drinks before he started teasing immediately anita was polite but clearly annoyed the witnesses thought he didn't appear too happy that anita had brushed him off kind of swagger's up to her they added that the man had not shown up for work the day that anita disappeared and you can tell by the look on her face she did not like it detectives went to question he claimed that his encounter with anita in the restaurant was an innocent exchange we're friends we're co-workers on the morning she disappeared he said he came into work before his shift and explained to his supervisor that he needed the day off he wanted to work on his car his supervisor confirmed the alibi sorry for the interruptions but the exact question as the hours ticked by family and friends posted missing persons flyers throughout the area they asked for anyone to call with information about their daughter or a car they also contacted the media to spread [Music] air surveillance and concerned citizens fanned out across the rural region to assist officers in this search a lot of lanes and back roads are in the extreme portions of this county we had volunteer groups the civil defense actually went out and formed organized searches of wooded areas we felt if we could find her vehicle that that would give us some evidence to lead us in in another direction 48 hours after anita had disappeared detective rogers received a promising tip from the mother of one of anita's friends the woman reported that anita was having problems with another co-worker at the shipping company [Music] anita said that the man had sexually harassed her on the job she was concerned enough to file a complaint against him anita told the mother that if she wound up in a dumpster somewhere you would know who did it investigators hoped they could find her before it was too late [Music] they knew every hour she was gone lessened the likelihood anita will be found alive did he say anything detectives returned to the shipping company the supervisor told them that he had no record of a sexual harassment complaint filed against the employee he added that the man had resigned three weeks earlier and left the state for college the suspect remained on the list until detectives could determine his whereabouts at the time of anita's disappearance while the lead was being checked investigators continued their search for suspects in the area they asked anita's boyfriend to take a lie detector test since his alibi could not be corroborated on the morning anita went missing the test consisted of only two questions did he have anything to do with the disappearance of anita wooldridge and did he know where anita could be found he answered no to both but was found to be deceptive he remained a suspect though police had no evidence with which to hold him after two days of searching investigators were no closer to finding the missing woman and the chances that she was still alive decreased with each passing day two days after 21 year old anita wooldridge disappeared from her suburban home in indiana howard county sheriffs had identified her co-worker and her boyfriend as possible suspects in her abduction though evidence found at her house suggested that she'd been taken alive investigators knew that time was against them detectives spoke to anita's friends to find out more [Music] most conveyed that they didn't know anyone who would want to hurt anyone especially her boyfriend one friend who had previously worked with anita at a gym two years earlier said that anita was nice to everyone including difficult people [Music] she recalled a member from the gym whose behavior towards the women there was crass what's wrong his name was victor steele they found him offensive is that steel yes but he remained undeterred steel bothered anita in the same way but she remained characteristically polite when she rejected him according to detective steve rogers what did i do anita was a personality that she was always very forgiving and and willing to try to work with anyone and that she had made an extra effort to try to get along with this individual the man's behavior never changed and his membership was eventually terminated [Music] anita's friend remembered that victor steele lived in howard county at the time investigators checked on steele's background when his name came up we were able to locate his name in the indiana sex offender registry and learned from that that he had been convicted in monroe county i believe in 1984 of an abduction though detective rogers didn't know if steele had any contact with anita in the past two years he believed steele was the most promising suspect so far [Music] to substantiate his theory the detective turned to retired fbi profiler steve mcveigh for guidance he had three or four people that he had to to look at as suspects he's wanting to see if we can narrow these down and to give some focus to the case he has limited resources and certainly time was the most critical of those and and if we could focus then we'd be a little bit better off the profiler examined the crime scene reports in the backgrounds of each suspect 41 year old victor steele's background stood out the circumstances surrounding steele's conviction 15 years earlier had many similarities to anita's disappearance in december of 1984 steele had stalked a woman on an indiana university campus where he was a student one night he waited outside for her boyfriend to leave [Music] like anita the young woman had previously turned down his advances knowing she was alone steele approached the house [Music] he pulled a knife from a blue backpack and threatened to kill her she did not submit to being raped he'd had contact with her he didn't live all that far from her he carried the backpack that he had as same as in the first instance which he used as a crime kit where he brought his tape his ropes and whatever else that he was going to use and that's very very distinctive after raping her he forced her to walk with her at knife point he told her to act like they were lovers or else he would stab her the profiler recognized that part of steele's fantasy was to feel like he was her boyfriend he had hoped to make this gal love him his victim love him he didn't look at it as a rape now 15 years later if it were the same guy he would have the same signature but he would be more sophisticated about it most importantly steele did not kill his victim he released her on the condition that she would not call the cops she agreed then ran to the nearest phone to call 9-1-1 victor steele was arrested hours later i think that he looks back on the case in 1984 as a mistake that he uh that he was not thorough enough in indoctrinating her or winning her over as as sufficiently as he thought he had and then when he let her go she identified him and sent him to prison victor steele served eight years behind bars for first degree rape and abduction [Music] he was distraught over the conviction [Music] in prison steele attempted suicide twice if he had abducted anita he was not going to make the same mistake again victor steele wanted to find a lady that he could in effect make love him and if he couldn't if it didn't work then he was prepared in my opinion to kill her and so love me or i'll kill you is a very succinct uh description of what went on in this case the profiler stressed the importance of not revealing the investigation to steele if the suspect felt police were on to him he would probably kill anita and himself kokomo city detective michael holzapple was calling to work undercover and help locate the suspect the task of finding him involved us immediately in doing a surveillance of his last known residence which was the home of his mother which was on the outskirts of our city here in howard county two and a half days after anita disappeared police set up outside the steel residence no one was seen entering or leaving they needed a way to find out who was inside without blowing their cover a car parked in front might be their way in we observed that there was a vehicle for sale outside of his house we seized on that as an opportunity to establish contact under a ruse of being interested in making the purchase of the car recognizing that we wouldn't have to compromise our identity posing as potential buyers undercover officers wearing wires prepared to make contact with whoever was home they had no idea if steele or anita were inside the suspect might do anything to protect his freedom every moment's delay dwindled the possibility that anita remained alive in june of 1998 investigators searched for convicted rapist victor steele in the abduction of a missing indiana woman two and a half days after her disappearance police set up surveillance outside his last known residence undercover detectives posing as used car buyers planned to make contact with the 41 year old suspect [Music] though each hour that passed decreased the victims chances for survival kokomo city detective michael holzapple believed that there was still hope a sexual predator would enjoy a sense of self-assurance by way of his having made it from the scene with his captive victim [Music] that that probably presented a window of opportunity to to us as investigators that she would still be kept alive wired for their own safety they knew that approaching the house may put the victim at risk if victor steele discovered that he was a suspect according to retired fbi profiler steve mcveigh i told him tell your guys have got to be extremely discreet in this whole investigation although we must press because time is of the essence we have to do it in such a way that arouses absolutely zero suspicion on victor's part and if he had any suspicion whatsoever that that he had come under suspicion of the police then he would dispose of her an older woman answered the door no she told the undercover detectives that the car for sale belonged to her son victor [Music] the detective said they were ready to buy now and were invited inside to discuss the price in the vehicle's history the mother claimed that her son had moved to wisconsin a few weeks earlier without her permission or a warrant detectives were unable to search the house independently they believed she was not likely involved but they weren't convinced that she wouldn't alert her son to the search she added that victor hadn't hooked up his phone yet in wisconsin so she had no way to reach him no no she would have to speak with him before she could set a price the detectives promised to keep in touch and look forward to speaking to the owner himself the fbi profiler remained confident victor steele was the primary suspect we could not eliminate him and in fact the secure place that that i thought he would have taken her to and where he could spend a significant amount of time with her it might very well be in a totally different area where no one knew him at all and no one would have any idea of looking for him there and that he very likely had gone and prepared a place and had in fact come back and taken her without his mother ever even knowing it 24-hour surveillance by undercover officers continued as other team members discreetly gathered more background on steel they learned he was unemployed and owned a red pickup but they could not figure out where he was staying with each passing day pressure to find the suspect and the victim mounted upon howard county chief detective steve rogers we wanted to find this young lady alive people were looking at us and saying well gosh can't you do something and we weren't at liberty to talk about what we were doing what we what we thought we could get done we had to be very guarded with that information victor steele's credit card statements revealed that he had rented a truck in indiana a few days before the crime company records showed that steele had traveled 910 miles round trip investigators divided the distance in half and traced a 450 mile circle around kokomo indiana one town that intersected was lacrosse wisconsin steele's credit card records also showed that he purchased gas at a convenience store on the date he rented the truck detectives called the parent company to determine the store's location it was near la crosse wisconsin they notified the fbi that it was likely victor steele had crossed state lines with the victim fbi special agent david fitzgerald of the eau claire wisconsin resident agency was assigned the case we were able to offer them the ability to bring in other agents if need be to conduct investigation anywhere within the state of wisconsin and if things were going to lead out of the state of wisconsin the fbi is one of those agencies that has a network in place where we can contact people all over the country to help them out six days after 21 year old anita wooldridge disappeared her missing blue sedan was found close to her home on a suburban street in howard county indiana it was just a few miles from steele's house the car was unlocked and the keys were still in the ignition investigators feared anita's body might be stashed in the trunk she was not there but her red bathrobe was underneath they found evidence that was more encouraging severed electrical ties this was a very important thing with the profiler he indicated to us that if these had been used to secure her arms or legs that when they were cut from her that would be to assist her in getting out of the vehicle there was a good possibility that she was at least alive when she was taken out of the trunk detectives found no blood seminal fluid or other signs of struggle in the vehicle nor did they find fingerprints far into the car from the driver's side window they were able to lift what they believed was an elbow print technicians preserved it in the hopes it would match their suspect [Music] detective rogers asked the profiler whether they should allocate a portion of his limited resources to the search in la crosse wisconsin steve rogers asked me if if i thought it was worth him taking a troop of his people to wisconsin to look for we even had the name of a town where a gas purchase had been made now that was really iffy in terms of that specific town being exactly where he had her that part i was not certain at all about but we had nothing else at that point a contingent of indiana detectives headed for lacrosse wisconsin where they believed steele had taken anita they met with special agent david fitzgerald and lacrosse police at a command center in the city of 50 000. they really didn't have any specific information that victor was here and he was here now nor did they have any specific information that the victim anita was here and was here now and they kind of looked at us and said you guys must think we're crazy for being here but you know they had been up for a day and a half and felt pretty strongly that something was going to happen in our area and we were just there to help them not wasting any time that evening investigators split up into several teams looking for steel's red pickup truck on the streets of lacrosse until four in the morning but without an address or even a general location of where steel and his victim may be the search was fruitless once again they turned to fbi profiler steve mcveigh to help eliminate locations they asked me whether they were looking for a life a victim or a dead body i replied that it was most likely that she was still alive and would be as long as he thought he could control her and that and that he was not under suspicion by the police that he would keep her for a fairly significant amount of time he would keep her in a place that he had absolute control over and felt totally secure investigators clung to hope that a week after her disappearance anita wooldridge was still alive seven days after 21 year old anita wooldridge had disappeared from her suburban indiana home authorities believed it was possible that she was still alive they suspected convicted rapist victor steele was holding her somewhere in la crosse wisconsin but chief detective steve rogers had no proof and no known address we had a hope that she was alive we did not know that she was alive this was our last ditch effort to to find her um in the sense of finding her alive that we had to get there set up a command post and be ready for when we received the information where he could possibly be to get it undercover detectives wearing hidden transmitters returned to steele's last known residence his mother's home in howard county indiana [Music] posing as interested buyers for the suspect's used car out front officers hoped to glean steel's whereabouts from his mother kokomo city detective michael holzapple was aware of the danger our concern was that if we were discovered making our inquiries regarding victor steele at this stage of the investigation that we might be contributing to the murder of this victim that it might place her life at immediate risk it was a risk they had to take his mother maintained that she still didn't have a telephone number for her son in wisconsin but she did have an address the undercover officer repeated the address out loud to his partner so it could be heard by detectives listening outside he immediately called chief detective steve rogers at the fbi office in la crosse wisconsin captain i got the answer my team people are in the street with the lacrosse police department and the lacrosse fbi and i'm relaying this information and at that particular point when i tell them you have a clinton street in la crosse and they looked at me rather strange and said yes i said that's where he's at fbi and lacrosse detectives arrived in minutes they identified the red pickup truck parked outside as victor's steel as soon as victor steele's vehicle and residents were in fact under surveillance i requested assistance with the local authorities there to go to a local court local magistrate and apply for a search warrant for the address on clinton street and for victor steele's vehicle and for the person of victor steele while they waited for the warrants agents contacted the owner who lived close by to find out if steele had in fact rented the house he confirmed the suspect was his tenant [Music] steele had claimed that he wanted to turn the building into a bookstore the landlord provided a sketch of the building's interior layout [Music] he also gave the fbi a key to the front door outside the rental property investigators consulted the fbi profiler they asked him what the chances were that steele was holding anita inside the building profiler steve mcveigh warned that if she was there getting to her safely would be difficult they were trying to determine whether they needed to storm the place or whether that was even the place that he would have her or not so i i was confident he did in fact have her there she would be very well secured i did tell him that i thought there was at least a 50 50 chance that should they attempt to storm the place while he's there that he would kill himself and kill her too investigators had no way to confirm who was inside if they waited to go in they might be too late we were again calculating with the resounding thump of this clock ticking in the back of each of our minds and our hearts as to whether or not do we make an entry do we wait do we stage the surveillance watch and wait do we go ahead and force an entry that decision was in part made by us witnessing victor steele leave the residence after a week of searching investigators got their first glimpse of the suspect climbed into his truck and drove away the surveillance team followed but decided it would be improved to stop him from questioning one of the risks that we did face is that say he had anita at another location that was not the residence and he decided that he did not want to cooperate with us and he just left he may never go to that place again and we may never find any debt agents track steel to a lumber yard a detective followed the suspect inside [Music] steele seemed interested in long planks of wood [Music] i witnessed him make purchase of lumber that in itself was a chilling observation and and bit of information to convey back to the surveillance team uh because we had thoughts in mind what's he using lumber for to make a cage to make a coffin [Music] the detective reported back to the other investigators they watched as steele returned to his pickup of the lumber [Music] investigators continued their tale steel retraced the root he had taken from his rental property they had to decide soon if they were going to risk stopping him without knowing for sure where he was going or where he had stashed anita [Music] if he had her alive and she was somewhere else he would have went to her by now but since he had not been away from the residence to any other location we felt strongly that if she was alive that she would still be there at that residence they decided they weren't going to let steele return to the rental property take them down across detective radio to a uniformed officer to stop the pickup the decision would mean the difference between life and death for anita [Music] eight days after a 21 year old indiana woman was abducted from her home the fbi and local authorities stopped the prime suspect from lacrosse wisconsin they believed victor steele was holding anita wooldridge in a rented house nearby but they had no proof that she was there or that she was still alive [Music] since they did not have enough to arrest the suspect a lacrosse police cruiser pulled the pickup to the side of the road on the pretense of a routine traffic stop then the fbi approached special agent david fitzgerald asked the suspect if he would assist in their investigation he wasn't under arrest and i i didn't want to make him feel like he was i had no probable cause that i was aware of at that time to arrest mr steele and i just wanted to have a conversation with him steele agreed to cooperate and accompanied agents back to the fbi office the sex offender claimed to know nothing about anita woldridge's disappearance and lied about where he was living mr steele indicated that he thought that he had been stopped by law enforcement officers for his failure to register as a sex offender in the state of wisconsin and he indicated that he had been in wisconsin for a couple days and that he was staying in his truck [Music] at steele's rental property investigators prepared for entry they would be ready when they got word the warrant was signed by a judge it was a difficult way for detective michael the greatest anxious moments of the investigation i would describe occurred in awaiting the arrival physically of a search warrant that was being then prepared at our command center we had victor steele he was no present threat to anyone we didn't know what the condition or circumstance anita was suffering at that moment they got the warrant the entry team used the key provided by the landlord they exercised extreme caution aware that the place may be booby-trapped [Music] officers swept through the rooms including the basement announcing their presence [Music] but the team heard no answer to their calls claws are clear how's it clear it appeared they had been wrong at the fbi office in la crosse an agent and detective continued their interview with victor steele [Music] the suspect admitted that he once knew a woman named anita from a health club but he hadn't seen her for a while without steele's cooperation investigators realized they may never find anita and they didn't have enough to place him under arrest again mr steele indicated that he couldn't help law enforcement officers he talked about the fact that he was not under arrest he was detained and he basically said do what you got to do to get me out of here in the last room authorities spotted a large metal cabinet lying face up on the floor its doors appeared to be secured with a broken broom handle and a butter knife we didn't communicate verbally at that particular time but the communication was clear that we wanted to be cautious of booby traps we wanted to be cautious about disturbing evidence but we needed to open that cabinet team members believed dead or alive the search for anita was at an end they saw no suspicious devices attached to the box nor did they hear movement from within carefully they freed the cabinet's handles it was hard for me to believe that it was really going to be over and they opened the box and there's like five or six police officers standing there like thank god take me home anita wooldridge told her rescuers that though she was not gagged she had been conditioned by victor steele not to call out he told me he might make fake noises so if i would scream for help then he would kill me and then when the police actually came to the door i was still afraid to scream because i thought he might be playing the tape or making it up she was handed over to the emergency medical technicians except for dehydration she remained healthy even after her long ordeal victor steele was placed under arrest for kidnapping and sexual assault victor really was not remorseful about what he had done it it appeared to me that if there was any remorse it was in the fact that he had been caught from the health club anita had little to eat during her captivity she ate her first meal she explained to investigators the events that began eight days earlier victor steele arrived at her home at about 10 30. she recognized him from the health club and invited him in he told her he had been out riding a bike and asked if he could come in for a glass of water didn't seem like a big deal that he came to the door i knew he rode his bike everywhere and i mean it was really hot that day and i just never second thought i was gonna get him a glass of water send him on his way anita asked steele to wait while she wiped up blood from the kitchen floor where she had cut herself earlier when her back was turned steel drew a stun gun from his backpack i didn't know what was happening it was all so fast and i realized you know i'm being attacked and i started screaming even though i knew no one's gonna hear me all the windows are shut and air conditioners are on and then when he hit me in the stomach it's just i lost all control of my legs like they just went limp steele disguised himself in women's clothes before he left the house he first grabbed the bed spread then and eat his rope to cover her bound wrists he tried to shove her out the kitchen window but decided it was easier to walk her to the car he locked her in the trunk before taking her to wisconsin he brought her to his mother's house and raped her i'd always thought i'd rather die than be raped and and then it was almost like survival mode took over my body it was like okay we're gonna get through this and i'm gonna do everything in my power not to die like this and have my parents with unanswered questions get in in la crosse wisconsin steele showed her a metal wardrobe that would be her new home he threatened to kill her if she tried to escape anita agreed not to try but still didn't trust her i'll beat you with it he left a quarter on top of the wardrobe to indicate if she tried to get out i didn't like being confined like that but at least if i was in there i knew he couldn't touch me but i also made it very dreadful every time i heard the box open because i knew i was either gonna have to play games with him or be raped or he had to see him [Music] bonita returned home to the warm welcome detective michael holzapple was surprised the case ended as well as it had having worked so many broken bodies so many fractured stories so many occasions that it didn't it didn't come out like you would wish that you would hope although this this young woman suffered an incredibly uh a devastating victimization she's still alive and uh people work together to support her in bringing her home alive victor steele acted as his own attorney in his january 1999 trial and was convicted of kidnapping carjacking and weapons possession he was sentenced to life without parole and serves his time in the united states penitentiary in beaumont i think my goals in life are a little bit different i never thought of doing anything in law enforcement and now that's something i'm looking into that i would like to do that to help other people and it just it gives me a goal that you know i want other people like him off the streets and so that's a little bit different than my original plan in life the life-changing experience would have shattered many others but anita wooldridge transcended her ordeal because of her strong personality and individual faith she now hopes to become an fbi agent to help others as they helped her [Music] [Applause] [Music] foreign
