In November 1984, 17-year-old Lisa McVey was riding her bike home after a double shift at a donut shop in Tampa, Florida.
Out of nowhere, a man dragged her off the bike and forced her into his car.
He blindfolded Lisa, pressed a gun to her head and drove to his apartment. For the next 26 hours, he raped and tortured her.
The girl believed she was going to die. But she was determined that if she did, police would catch the man who killed her.
So she paid attention to everything. She peeked under her blindfold whenever she could, counted the steps up to his apartment and pressed her fingerprints onto every surface she could reach in his bathroom.
She also kept him talking and promised to be his girlfriend. She even made up a story that her father was seriously ill and depended on her.
Slowly, it worked. After 26 hours, he drove her back toward her grandmother's house and apologized. Then he told her “Tell your father he's the reason why I didn't kill you."
Every detail she had memorized, from his car to his apartment to the ATM he had stopped at, led police straight to him.
His name was Bobby Joe Long. That year, he killed at least 10 women in the Tampa area. He was arrested on November 16, 1984, and later sentenced to death.
Years later, Lisa joined the same sheriff's office that caught him and became a deputy who helps survivors of sexual violence.
In 2019, when Long was executed, she sat in the front row.

Laken Riley had a Garmin smartwatch on when she was attacked
Her heart rate jumped to 170 bpm which told investigators that was when she was being attacked
It lasted for 17 minutes then suddenly stopped - that's when the animal finally killed her
So the next time you want to tell me about how unfair illegal immigrants are being treated I want you to set a timer for 17 minutes and watch it go by so you can understand how long that young woman fought for her life
Stereotypes exist for a reason
I want to share a deeply personal and heartfelt message about an issue I face regularly.
I was born in India and have been living in Canada for the past 13 years, where I am now proud to be a Canadian citizen. Despite building my life here for over a decade, I frequently experience a complete lack of basic respect in public spaces simply because of how I look.
Too often, people make immediate, negative assumptions about me before I even say a word.
In restaurants, servers assume I won't tip.
In public transit lines, people expect me to push or cut ahead.
In everyday interactions, there is a pervasive stereotype that I will be cheap, pushy, or try to take shortcuts.
It is exhausting and humiliating to be judged by these generalized tropes. While some individuals may behave poorly, it is unfair and deeply damaging to project those behaviors onto an entire demographic. No group is a monolith, and every person deserves to be treated as an individual.
A few years ago, I traveled to Georgia. Throughout my trip—from immigration checkpoints to taxi rides—I faced cold, skeptical treatment. It wasn't until I mentioned that I live in Canada and showed my Canadian documentation that the dynamic suddenly shifted and I was treated with courtesy. While I was relieved to be treated well, it left a bitter taste in my mouth: Why should basic human respect depend on proving my nationality rather than my humanity?
It breaks my heart to see how generalized prejudice and stereotypes are impacting South Asian people globally. It is frustrating, sad, and unacceptable.
I share this not out of anger, but out of a hope for greater awareness. We need to stop viewing individuals through the lens of harmful stereotypes and start treating everyone with the fundamental dignity they deserve.
