Jack Chandler kidnaps Rachel.
WA: Tonight, police are cruising. In search of a man they know is
capable of hurting young Rachel Welles. The man is Jack
Chandler. Chandler is in hiding, having forced Lee Webber to
put him up for a brief time. And here away from police
searchlights, he is able to work out a plot to pick up Rachel
and take her with him. A phone call to the night school posing
as Elliot Carson, sets up the plan. In his mind he is
convinced that Rachel will turn to him and accept him. Once
she is made to realize she cannot adapt to this town, and to
the people who have seemingly befriended her. Chandler's
obsession with Rachel has long since blotted out any reason.
He has no doubt at all that Rachel will go with him, willingly,
quietly. Chandler need only wait for the right moment to make
his move. He is confident he'll have no trouble avoiding the
