"I was hustling on the corner of 3rd and Girard at about 11 pm. A 1987 Caddy Coupe de Ville pulled up. The driver of the car and I discussed price. We came to an agreement of $20. He drove me to 3520 North Marshall Street and we went into the house. He identified himself to me as Gary Heidnik. We went up to the second-floor front bedroom and he gave me a $20 bill. Then we took off our clothes and we had sex on his water bed." Rivera was held captive in a pit in the basement of Heidnik's house along other women he abducted until 24 March 1987 when she managed to escape. (25 November 1986)
