Ronald was a scum bucket kidnapping rapist.
March, 1979 . Salinas California
My girlfriend Lisa and me were hitching through Central California to Southern Oregon. After 2 days in the same spot. A trucker cut across 3 lanes of traffic and pulled off a 1/4 mile up the road. We were thankful for the ride. But I found it a bit unnerving how the driver had almost cutoff traffic to exit to the shoulder. I warned my girlfriend to be on her guard.
We got in, duffels were put inside the bottom door under a bunk in the sleeper. ( something I also was uneasy about,
The driver, introduced himself as Ron Head, The name stuck.. especially after what transpired after. We drove north to Sacramento with him. We got dropped at a restaurant with the promise he would return and give us a ride all the way to Oregon.
He did return after switching trailers. Or reloading his trailer. Im not sure which .
We left Sac late in the afternoon. We traveled long into the night. somewhere in Northern Cali just north of redding. Ron pulled over..." to stretch and piss" I got out of the passengers side to do the same. I was peeing when all of a sudden, the truck started taking off, with my girlfriend crashed in the sleeper. I barely caught the door and lift handle and my feet slipped on the bottom rung of the stepup and almost was crushed in the wheel. hE LAUGHED LIKE A LUNATIC and said....ha ha hows that for a joke! I turned to look at him and told.him. try something like that again. you will see how funny I think it is. After that he drove fast and crazy
He was on whites,,,,drinking, and smoking hashish. after the peeing incident I was on high alert with this guy. we were flying through these mountain turns on the new I-5 interstate, almost careening over going to damn fast.
i convinced him to find somewhere to get coffee. and take a break. MY MISTAKE!
He pulled off at this place with a huge long parking lot....and Paul Bunyon statue 20 feet tall. We sat having coffee. Ron went to pee. He came out and sat down. I went to pee. AS soon as I had closed the door, the worker told me he ran out headed to his truck parked a football field down the lot. My girlfriend, who I had tried to get up and have her come in with me and ron...was in the sleeper sleeping. I had told her. if he gets in without me, to jump out,
Ron got in truck and had it started. ( whilst I was running for it, coming out the door of the restaurant. by the time my foot hit the gravel lot....he was driving off. .....that was and has been the worst moment of my entire 58 years.. That moment, helpless, and knowing I would probably never see my girl again. or her family. I ran inside to call the cops. I had memorized then written down his carrier name and plates. I told this lumberjack looking dude,,,6'4" huge ...what happened, He grabbed his big old stick and headed to the lot. Then he came back in and told me that the truck didnt make it out of the lot. Lisa, had sprayed him with mace, punched him kicked his balls. She said he was like a zombie...so she grabbed the steering wheel as he turned out of lot....and steered the truck into a ditch...Lisa...was 4'!0" .
I sprayed that fuck wit mace....and Jimbo kicked his ass while I grabbed our shit out of the truck. The State Police took half the night to show up. They had been in a bar brawl and showed up bruised , uniforms torn. they didnt want to deal with us. Told us if we pressed charges , we would need to stay in the area til his trial. It was a bullshit lie. we were 18 and fell for it. I pulled the tow truck driver who was pulling the truck out of the storm ditch what ron had did to my girlfriend. . He charged him like $500...this was 1979. that was a lot of money, I wanted to track him down and see who he worked for but that was near impossible back then.
Yeah, I should have listened to my intuition and never got in the truck in Salinas. Two days standing in the same spot makes you do stupid shit. I tried to forgive him. He told me while driving he was in Nam. so I figured maybe that had tweaked his brain and I kinda felt sorry for him. BUT, no , I never did forgive him. One, for scaring the hell out of Lisa. And two , for making me feel that hopeless feeling as he was apparently driving off with her.
I knew in that instance , he was gonna rape her and kill her. there was no doubt in my mind.
And for that. no, Ill never forgive....nor......will I ever forget. RON HEAD, DEMON FROM HELL,,,,REST THERE NOW
No this isnt some made up story, It is true and happened to two young teenagers on a Cali hwy many many years ago. I do hope he suffered. Like he made us suffer. amen
