  • Summary

  • Welcome back Spooky Squad, to Scream and Sugar, your true crime coffee hour! And welcome back Meredith! Hang with us as we snack on sandwiches from our local My Favorite Muffin, and listen in as Meredith takes us through the blood-chilling tale of survival, Mary Vincent.

    In September 1978, 15-year-old Mary was hitchhiking through California when she accepted a ride from Lawrence Singleton. What started as a hopeful journey soon took a sinister turn as Singleton brutally assaulted her, severed both of her arms, and left her for dead in a remote canyon. Astonishingly, Mary fought her way to survival, navigating the rugged landscape until she finally found help.
    Singleton’s violence was monstrous, but Mary's survival was nothing short of miraculous. Despite her severe injuries, Mary managed to bring her attacker to justice, later testifying against him and paving the way for the creation of laws aimed at preventing similar injustices. Her story raises profound questions about the criminal justice system, as Singleton received a remarkably light sentence and went on to commit further violent crimes after his release. In sharing Mary’s story, we explore the resilience it takes to rebuild after such a tragedy and the flaws in a system that allowed a predator like Singleton back into society. This case reminds us to advocate for justice reform while honoring Mary’s relentless spirit to move forward and heal.
