@Dr.Bfan......Hope was chloroformed, doesn't know who did it, and really doesn't know who the man was. The fact that Eric found her in the road, nearly dead, would have to carry some weight. However, I will agree that his failure to let authorities know is not good.....and he could get in trouble as well.
@daysdg....I also think OC's story is facinating, and am glad she has been told the story. The trouble with young people, some are much too impatient to listen to stories when kids or teens, and when they finally are interested enough to start asking questions, those older grandparents, aunts & uncles have passed on, their stories with them.
