June 10, 1982 around 1:30am, a woman had just completed her shift and was waiting for the bus on 4th street in downtown Louisville. A man in a lime green Camaro tried to abduct her at gunpoint. The arriving bus thwarted the attempt and the woman went straight to the police. She later picked the suspect out of a line-up. Unfortunately, the woman identified the wrong man. The real perpetrator was an active serial killer and he was loose in Louisville.
