Spending a day on the river should be a relaxing and enjoyable experience. People often go to the water to get away from it all and be stress-free for a while. They frequently feel it's a safe place to be, but that isn't always the case.

Heather Teague

Heather Teague was a 23-year-old woman from Spotsville, Kentucky. She enjoyed spending time out by the water by herself. On August 26, 1995, she went sunbathing at Newburgh Beach on the Ohio River in Henderson County, Kentucky.

When the witness who viewed Heather's kidnapping was interviewed, he was able to give a good description of her abductor. The onlooker noticed the abductor was six feet tall and weighed about 220 pounds. He had brown hair and a brown beard but may have been wearing a wig.
