The blessing of a flat...

In June of 1989 my mom was visiting her sister in Tampa Florida.

Upon an outing they met a friendly man named "Dave" who offered to show them Tampa Bay from his boat.

The morning they were to embark my Aunt got a flat tire and the trip was cancelled.

That man was Oba Chandler. Executed in 2011 for murdering an Ohio woman and her two children and dumping their bodies in Tampa Bay.
OMG i have watched so many shows about that!
@Pambi OMG that's so scary to think of.

@CallmeHopelessNotRomantic Before I was born... But yes. Count every blessing... Big or small.
@Pambi i remember it well. People can be so sick.

Insane! I never would have agreed to such a trip though.
I vaguely remember his trial. I was a little young at the time.


My aunt was one of the cops that worked the case so she would talk about it from time to time back then.

Sometimes the littlest inconvenience can create a world of change.

Whoa... that sends chills. That’s just crazy... someone was definitely looking out for them that day. What are the chances??

Lucky them. Taking a crazy chance. Tampa Bay is pretty huge to lose a couple of people in.

I watched that on an episode of Forensic Files. Thank God your Aunt got a flat tire.
