Why do you guys keep guessing her status when nobody knows? You can speculate until your eyes bleed.
I’m not guessing anything. I’m just wondering why one would walk there, at that time, unless one lives there. There is nothing there, it’s a sketchy area. If one doesn’t live on that street, why be there?
The terrifying ordeal unfolded around 3 a.m. May 1 as the perv followed the 45-year-old victim, who was walking on the sidewalk at East 152nd Street and Third Avenue, cops said
NOT blaming the victim but 3am in the Bronx is well past trouble.
The victim was apparently acquainted with the perp in some way, so she must live or work in the area. I don't know in what capacity she had "previous casual encounters" with the rapist.
Police said the victim, who is recovering from the assault, told them she identified Parks by his distinctive teeth, describing previous casual encounters with him in the neighborhood.
This article says the woman was "walking back home".
So there is the "why".
She was on that street at that time because she was walking back to her home. Was she visiting? Working? Took the train? Midnight hooker? I don't know, but she was just walking back home, per the police.
Why she needed to walk back home and what she was doing prior, still needs to be revealed.

According to the police, the incident occurred around 3 am on May 1 when the victim was walking back home. The woman is identified as a 45-year-old.

According to the police, the incident occurred around 3 am on May 1 when the victim was walking back home. The woman is identified as a 45-year-old.
So either she was heading back home after visiting a friend or she left her home and was off to visit a friend. At 3 am it makes more sense to me that she was visiting a friend, time got away from them or maybe she had sex with said friend, and then at 3 am left to go back home. Who knows?
We don't know where her home is. We don't know where her friend lives. The article above says that she was casually aquainted with the rapist perp so apparently they both live in the same area.
With a belt around your throat, I don't think there would be any time to register what had even happenrd in order to deploy a knife and try to cut through a leather belt.
You would be so shocked at something closing around your throat, even if you felt the belt and had some presence of mind, you would have to get the knife out over your head and saw at that belt very quickly.
I don't think anybody could do it.
She seemed to pass out and go limp fairly quickly with the belt choking her out. I don't think a knife would do a bit of good in this situation -- a surprise attack choked and dragged.
Dear God, I hope this doesn't give other perps any ideas because this is a brutally effective means of defenselessly restraining somebody quickly without any risk at all. Having a gun wouldn't do you any good at all.
