So when she went missing the evening of Nov 22, 2003, her friends and family knew it wasn't like her and they began to search for Dru. What no one knew was that Dru encountered a vile sexual predator named Alphonso Rodriguez as she headed to her car after work.Join Mike and Gibby as they discuss the assault and murder of Dru Sjodin. This was a woman who was preparing herself for life after college and was working hard to accomplish her goals. Her killer Alphonso Rodriguez saw an easy target in Dru Sjodin. She was a pretty young woman who was talking on her cell phone and, as most of us are when we're talking on our cell phones, she was less aware of her surroundings.
