I stumbled across the story of Barbara Mackle again — the young woman who was kidnapped in 1968 and buried alive in a fiberglass box for days. Seeing the photo of her coffin next to the grave honestly hit me harder than I expected. It’s one thing to read the headline, but another to imagine a 20-year-old lying there in the dark, knowing that every breath depends on whether her kidnappers decide to come back. What gets me is how terrifyingly human the situation is. She wasn’t a criminal, she wasn’t doing anything risky — she was a college student just trying to get home. And someone looked at her and decided she was a target. It reminds you how fragile safety really is, how quickly your whole world can be taken by someone else’s choices. I don’t know… stories like this stay with you because they’re not just “true crime.” They’re reminders of what people are capable of — both the cruelty of the kidnappers and the unbelievable strength it took for her to survive those days underground. It makes you look at your own life and think about how much we take ordinary days for granted. It’s heartbreaking, terrifying, and strangely inspiring all at once. #UnexpectedResults #Strength #History
