18. Playing God: Larry Gene Bell

 In 1985, seventeen-year-old Sharon Faye Smith ("Shari") was abducted from the driveway of her Lexington County, South Carolina home. Quickly, authorities gathered.  A manhunt and search was launched as they desperately looked for this beautiful young girl. A phone call to her distraught family was about to change everything. Could the police locate the psychopath before it was too late or would he strike again?
