Mont. teacher disappears while running; shoe found/update

[Amy Jacobs]

This is just heart breaking news.

Running shoe only clue to disappearance of Montana math teacher who didn’t return from a run - The Washington Post


For any runners, walkers, bicyclists be sure to go with a buddy or take pepper spray/mace spray with you, cell phone, let people know your going out (my mom always knows when I go out for a run) . You just never know there are many 4 leg & 2 leg predators out there I hope they find her okay soon!

About 20 years ago, I was out walking early one evening on a fully lit main street in an upscale neighborhood when I was attacked. He had taken his shoes off and snuck up behind me grabbing me and pinning both of my arms to my sides. I learned that night that I can scream bloody murder, but the neighbors thought it was kids playing night games. Fortunately for me, he let me go when I started screaming.

Personally, I would never walk alone after dark, especially with a headset on where I couldn't be totally aware of my surroundings. Always look around you. Pay attention to who you meet or anything that seems unusual. I had seen this guy earlier on a bicycle and he was dressed for summer on a very chilly October evening. He was cleancut college-age guy that you would never suspect to be anything other than a nice kid.

To make a long story short, they never caught him, but he attacked several women over a period of a few months. I would guess he moved on to worse crimes against women before he was done. I was lucky to just get grabbed inappropriately...

I refuse to run outside because of this. Which is actually kind of sad but I do have plenty of fun cardio workouts I can do inside my home. Still pretty lame that people can't go for a walk outdoors without having to worry somebody's lurking in the shadows. I hope they find her soon!

Man in custody.

This is just heartbreaking. She seemed to be really loved and liked by so many... Its just not right.

When I go running I never really think about what bad things could happen (my mom does she hates it) she always tells me I really wish you wouldn't do that its just not safe.

She loves winter so I run on the treadmill at home.

Be careful out there! ~Amy

Oh no! I hope they are ok too. Very important to let someone know your whereabouts.
