Episode 3: Jane Doe

Perpetrator Unknown

In this installment, the podcast explores another horrifying incident at Boca Raton's Town Center Mall, just months before the Bochicchio murders. On August 7, 2007, a young woman, referred to as "Jane Doe," and her toddler son fell victim to a bizarre abduction. The episode vividly recounts the harrowing experience as Jane Doe returns to her vehicle in the mall parking area, only to find herself at the mercy of a man with a gun. Compelled to drive to a bank and withdraw money, Jane Doe's distress is palpable as the abductor tightens his control and takes her on a two-hour journey on South Florida roadways, intensifying the ordeal. The chilling narrative takes unexpected turns, revealing glimpses of compassion from the perpetrator and Jane Doe's resilient attempts to protect her young child and make it out alive. Eventually returned to the mall, the episode concludes with law enforcement casting doubt on Jane’s story. Even as her claims are substantiated through toll booth surveillance footage, authorities seem to downplay the severity of the case, leaving the community in ignorance. As the episode concludes, there are suggestions that the harrowing incident experienced by Jane Doe may have connections to other cases, including the Bochicchio case. This raises concerns about a potential serial predator targeting the community and law enforcement’s failure to stop him. These suggestions of a broader, unsettling narrative leave listeners on edge, eager to unravel the hidden truths in the next installment of 'Perpetrator Unknown.’
