Last Ride.
Season 9, Episode 10, Jul 13, 10:49 AM
Hitchhiking brings with it countless dangers, as we have seen on screen countless times and with the exploits of killers such as the West's, but for many years it was a commonplace thing to do, the dangers not thought about, merely the destination.
In the winter of 1995, one such hitcher, a 19 year old French student named Celine Figard, accepted a ride that she was sadly, never to finish.
Her last ride.
