Victor Steele Case: The city of Kokomo, Indiana was left in shock when 21-year-old Anita Wooldridge went missing from her parents’ house on East Center Road. The police were immediately alerted, and a massive search operation began to locate the missing woman.
Little did anyone know that the person responsible for Anita’s disappearance was someone she knew quite well – Victor Steele. Victor was no stranger to the law, having served ten years behind bars for an unrelated 1985 sexual assault conviction. But he was still lurking in the shadows, waiting for the perfect opportunity to strike again.
Victor Steele had his sights set on Anita, whom he knew from the Celebrity Fitness Center where she worked. On June 25, 1988, he made his move, showing up uninvited at Anita’s parents’ home. Anita, being the kind-hearted person she was, invited him inside. Little did she know that this act of kindness would soon turn into a horrifying nightmare.
Once inside, Victor feigned being thirsty and asked for a glass of water. As Anita turned to fetch the water, Victor tased her three times with a stun gun, rendering her unconscious. He then put her in the trunk of her own car and drove away.
The police were determined to find Anita and launched a massive search operation. But Victor was one step ahead of them. He took Anita to his house and sexually assaulted her before moving her to an apartment in La Crosse, Wisconsin, to avoid immediate police action.
There, he kept Anita inside a metal cupboard for eight days, subjecting her to brutal rape and torture. It was a horrifying ordeal that no one should ever have to endure like Irving Galarza, the man behind Cleveland arson.
But the police never gave up on their investigation, and ultimately, they were able to locate Anita at the Wisconsin apartment. They were able to rescue her and bring her back home safely.
Where is Victor Steele Now?
Victor Steele was finally apprehended and charged with kidnapping, illegal possession of a firearm by a convicted felon, carjacking, and other charges. At his trial, Victor pleaded not guilty, but the overwhelming evidence against him sealed his fate. He was sentenced to life in prison in 1999 and is currently incarcerated at the United States Penitentiary – Tucson in Tucson, Arizona.
The kidnapping of Anita Wooldridge by a familiar face is a reminder that evil can lurk in the shadows, waiting for the perfect opportunity to strike. But it is also a reminder that justice can prevail, and those responsible for heinous crimes can be brought to justice. It is a story of resilience, determination, and unwavering faith that helped Anita get through the darkest days of her life.

This has a lot of typos and bad grammar. Very hard to read with so many incoherencies.
Totally agree. Crappy at it’s best.😵💫
ahhhh. is ahrite! i didn’t read any incongruities!
Now let me think about this.
I know nothing about the authors background so should I perhaps let any typos or suspect grammar go by? Perhaps I could even offer some helpful suggestions.
Nah! I’ll just be judgemental and mock the author. Golly how much better that made me feel.
Yo who tf wrote this, a third grader, no offense to third graders, but damn, I wonder if the writer knows that there are programs that proof read and autocorrect for FREE. This is terribly written.
