I took this photo of the Mahned Bridge in 2004. The boards at each end of the bridge were ripped out to prevent people from walking out onto it after the 1991 murders.

There was an error in the last post: Angela Freeman was abducted in 1993; Bond and Hatcher in May 1995.

This bridge was the site of two abductions. One in 1990, of Angela Lee Freeman; her body was never found. The second took place in 1991, when Robbie Lee Bond and William Hatcher were abducted by two cousins who then drove to their mobile home to commit the rapes and murders.
