Default Texas Grandmother Tossed Into Well Survives

She may be the bravest grandmother in the toughest town in Texas. Last week, in a place called Gun Barrel, Texas, a 63-year old woman was abducted from her home near midnight by a violent convicted *** offender who allegedly beat her with the barrel of a gun, dragged her into the woods and presented her with a nightmarish trio of choices. He told her he could strangle her, shoot her or toss her down a concrete well in the woods, she said. Before she could choose, she felt herself tumbling headlong into a dank, underground well that opened like a cistern at its base 20 feet beneath the ground. The woman spent 16 hours in putrid water at the bottom of the well before her frantic family pieced together the fragmented clues to her disappearance and tracked her to the watery, underground prison. Police say she was also ***ually ***aulted. Joshua James Cannon, 18, who had registered as a *** offender with county officials just two days before the alleged abduction, was arrested and charged with a battery of felonies after authorities found him driving around in the woman's car with a 15-year-old.

I'm glad that she survived, you would think that falling like 20 feet that she didn't break her neck or something, because she is old and her bones are brittle.
