#LISA MCVEY SERIAL#
When red fibres on the bodies of both women were shown to have come from the same nylon carpet, police knew they had a serial killer on their hands. Survivor Lisa is pictured above around the age she was abducted Michelle Simms, 22, had had her throat cut and a ligature placed around her neck.
Just two weeks later, police were called to another sickeningly violent scene.
Her hands had been bound behind her back, a rope tied around her neck and her hips broken so she could be posed with her legs spread at right angles. The first was that of 20-year-old exotic dancer Lana Long (no relation), who was found lying face down and naked in a field alongside the interstate in May. In the space of seven months, police had found eight mutilated female bodies. The world it depicts is mid-eighties Florida, which by November 1984 had become a hunting ground for a deranged killer. A largely faithful retelling of her harrowing story, it has become the most-watched programme on streaming service Netflix since its release last week. Now her remarkable experience has been dramatised in Believe Me: The Abduction Of Lisa McVey. Hillsborough County Sheriff Captain Gary Terry, who oversaw the investigation, said in a recent interview: ‘If we had not arrested him when we did, who knows how many victims there would have been, how many victims that Lisa saved.’ Her subsequent escape and detailed testimony enabled them to arrest Long, bringing an end to his reign of terror.

Naked, blindfolded and bound in her captor’s apartment, Lisa McVey had just one thing on her mind - survival
