A Manhunt and Multiple Victims
Henvey’s reign of terror came to an end after he went on the run, prompting a large-scale manhunt and a warning to drivers not to pick up hitchhikers.
The authorities eventually caught him, but during the investigation, another victim came forward, followed by a reexamination of a previous rape allegation against him.
