LADY KILLER: VAN DER SLOOT

Truth is the dude looks like my niece's husband, not scary at all. In my younger days, I could have, and did, fall prey to a similar person. My hair stands on end today when I imagine what a willing victim I would have been. The guy is sexy, charismatic, and has the all American boy image. As a child, like many white southern little girls, I was taught to fear black men, not the boy next door.

HOW I DISCOVERED VAN DER SLOOT

I don't presently have access to Direct TV or cable, for financial reasons, so my news input is limited to the Internet. I wasn't looking for Van Der Sloot, nor did I know he existed. I was reading hubs written by my favorite authors, and American Romance had written a hub about him. I hate political hubs, especially those written by my friend, American Romance, and this did not look like one, so I decided to read it. It caught my attention, and I did some further research on the guy, watched the video he was tricked into making, and viewed some other sites about him.

Van der Sloot's appearance and mannerisms remind me of someone other than my brother in law. His attitude and behavior call to my memory someone with whom I became involved almost by accident years ago. The person of Hunter, antagonist character of my first novel, Undercover, had a striking resemblance to Van Der Sloot in both appearance and the casual manner in which he addressed the act of murder. I always knew I would eventually write a book about him, and it is now completed, published one chapter at a time to Hubpages, and soon to be edited by a professional editor.

The scary part about Van der Sloot, and Hunter, is that they are Lady Killers in every sense of the word. Women knowingly make bad choices that result in the act of dying for these guys, though the women involved are unaware this is in the plan. They believe their bad choice is only a sexual or emotional risk, when in fact it is a choice between life and death. When I remember the casualness with which I entered most sexual encounters as a younger woman, it makes me shudder.

Hunter was not; however, such an encounter. His attraction to me was found in my unwillingness to engage in sexual behavior with him. Perhaps that is why I live today, while others, including my Shetland Sheepdog, Fancy Free, were not that lucky. I have no way of knowing if Hunter ever committed murder, but my knowledge of him, and awareness of human nature at this point in my life, tell me he well could have, and was certainly capable of doing so. I'll never know for sure if Hunter was a victim of meth addiction, or if he had a hidden predatory nature I did not see until after I was captured in his web, but there is no doubt he was dangerous at the time I left the meth lifestyle against my will, and entered treatment.

If my book, Undercover, has one continuing message, it is "Kids, don't try this at home." I look at the picture, the second one on this hub, and know inside my heart of hearts, this young woman could have been me. Girls, young women, I can't stress this strongly enough. Do not leave with strangers in bars, from parties, or any other social gathering. Obviously, the guy does not appear dangerous. Neither did Hunter, Van der Sloot, Ted Bundy, or many others. You may be looking for excitement and you may find it, but the excitement may be more than you wanted or bargained on. In the end, it may be the end. Don't seek love, passion or an adrenalin rush in dangerous, unstable circumstances. it just isn't worth it.
