The East Coast Rapist Strikes

Aaron Thomas, soon to be dubbed the “East Coast Rapist, had been attacking women from 1997 to 2009. One particularly gruesome story happened on October 31, 2009. Thomas had tracked three girls trick-or-treating in the rain alone. He pulled a gun-shaped lighter on them and ordered them into the woods. One of the girls managed to text her mother her location and police arrived within minutes. Very lucky girls. Thomas managed to get away initially but was later caught.
