"PLEASE HELP ME!!" — Clerk Protects Kidnapping Victim

When a barefoot and bloody woman rushed into a Butler, PA convenience store - the clerk, Tori, didn’t hesitate to help. Viral surveillance footage shows Tori springing into action to protect the woman, and it’s nothing short of incredible. Police say the victim was assaulted and kidnapped by her ex-boyfriend after she said she didn’t want to spend Valentine’s Day with him. When police caught her alleged attacker, Kenneth Clarke, they asked where he was going that day - they say he replied “on a rampage.” Senior Investigative reporter Anne Emerson spoke with Tori about her brave actions that led to Clarke’s arrest. She says she doesn’t feel like a hero, that she “just did what anyone would do”, but we humbly disagree. Among the often sad and upsetting cases we cover, her bravery is inspiring, and something to be celebrated. Hear what was going through her head in those moments and what drove her to action from the hero at the center of the story.
