[Intro: Jon Murdock]
Yeah, don't cry
It's the way it has to be
Yeah, Maria
[Verse 1: Jon Murdock]
There's a girl named Maria, she's only twenty-five
Her boyfriend left her and she lost her job
All her friends are in relationships, she's lonely inside
It's been two months since her break up and Maria still cries
She hopped in the car and started to drive
Just thinking, "Maybe find a bar, start drinkin' and vibe"
She's a shy type of chick, never winkin' at guys
But tonight she's like, "Fuck it," just thinking, "Let's drive"
She drove to a bar near a dock with bright lights
It was clear outside, summertime, a nice night
Seventy-eight degrees, she wore a skirt, a tight white
Shirt that she bought from a store that Mike likes
Mike's her ex, all he wanted was sex
He cheated all the time and Maria was stressed
So she's desperate, she wore a diamond heart necklace
Her parents had dough, she drove a tight car, Lexus
She walked in, sat down, had a round, actin' wild
Flashed a smile, ass was out, what could happen now?
A cat at the bar walked over, started talkin'
Offered a Newport, "Do you come here often?"
"Can I buy you a drink?" She accepted the gesture
Tipsy by now, not feelin' any pressure
Tits poppin' out, not concealin' her breasts up
A kiss on the mouth, now revealin' she's giving sex up
She walked in the bathroom, drunk
Called her ex-boyfriend to make him jealous and stuff
But Mike didn't answer, didn't even give a fuck
So she left him a message, in the heat of her lust, saying:
[Hook]
There's a bar by the dock, where I found myself
Drinking with this man
He offered me a cigarette, and I accepted
'Cause it's been a very long time
[Verse 2: Jon Murdock]
As soon as she accepted, there was no escape
She had no idea that her life was at stake
They shared conversation and a drink, it was late
About 1:45, and her drink was laced
At 2 AM, they left in the parking lot
The drug took affect, she went unconscious and was sodomized
He kept her in the basement for weeks where she lost her mind
Tortured by a man who even filmed a woman's homicide
The sixteenth body found raped and murdered
You could tell she was tied up from the bruises that occurred, kid
No evidence, no DNA
He was smart, the detectives had no leads on the case
At a different bar, a month from the last time
He sat, drinking, waiting just to pray on a bad dime
A woman walked in, short skirt and dark tan line
He offered a cigarette and a drink, it was the last time
He walked her out when the bar was closed
She was woozy, didn't pass out, still on her toes
He put her in his car, where she saw where he drove
1412 East Armadel Road
He tried to rape her but she was stronger than the rest
She escaped the house injured, cut, with marks on her chest
Called the cops, and they quickly thought of the rest
There was traces of the drug GHB in every test
She told her story and remembered the address
They got a search warrant, hoping this was the bastard
When they entered the crib, he was dead, his head blasted
Suicide from a Ruger 9 and on his mattress
There was the tapes, from every rape
Every murder he committed, every woman that he faced
When they watched the horrible acts, all the deaths, it was strange
The women would think back on the night of they fate, saying:
[Hook]
There's a bar by the dock, where I found myself
Drinking with this man
He offered me a cigarette, and I accepted
'Cause it's been a very long time
[Interlude]
Top story tonight
Residents in a central Lawrence neighborhood are disturbed after news of a rape... Good evening and thanks for joining us, I'm Josh Carper
And I'm Holly Nailer. The violent crime happened after two o'clock Friday morning. 6 News reporter Brooke Wagner talked to neighbors this evening and joins us in the news center for more. Brooke?
Josh, Holly, police are calling this one of the most violent rapes in recent Lawrence history. A woman was walking to her car from a bar when she was grabbed from the street and thrown into a car
(This is another example of how it can happen anywhere at anytime and this is not something that, uh, I would say just for woman. Any individual should be, uh, careful and aware of their surroundings when they're out at night)
