Nell Williams was the sole survivor of the fateful excursion. According to her testimony, a young African American male jumped on the driver's side running board, pointed a gun at her, and forced her to drive down a deserted dirt road in the sparsely populated area. For the next four hours, the three young women were assaulted and then shot when they attempted an escape. Although she was shot in the arm, Nell managed to drive the car one-handed to a Mountain Brook residence after the assailant fled the scene.
