New Special Now Available Details Lisa
McVey’s Abduction and Escape in 1984 from Infamous Serial Killer
Bobby Joe Long
FOX Nation will debut Surviving a Serial Killer hosted by FOX
News Channel’s (FNC) Harris Faulkner today, Tuesday, April 30. The
new three-part series details the 1984 abduction and escape of then
17-year-old Lisa McVey.
In commenting on the special, Faulkner said, “When a survivor
talks, I listen. At just 17-years old, Lisa McVey endured
unimaginable physical and mental torture at the hands of a serial
killer. She has turned her horrific experience into a miraculous
story of resilience and strength.”
Featuring an extensive one-on-one with McVey herself, the series
will include interviews with figures close to the story, such as
Larry Pinkerton, the police lieutenant that worked with McVey and
Lloyd Sowers, a journalist who covered the abduction at the time.
Faulkner will share an inside look at how McVey, was raped and
tortured for 26 harrowing hours, escaped and helped put a
bloodthirsty killer, behind bars.
A victim of abuse throughout her childhood, McVey’s story was
met with disbelief after escaping her kidnapper, Bobby Joe Long.
McVey left behind pieces of her hair and other items as a trail of
evidence for police. Tampa, Florida police officers and
investigators say they would not have caught Long, who was found to
be a serial killer, including two murders after her kidnapping,
without McVey’s detailed memory and evidence. Now a motivational
speaker and Tampa based Sheriff’s Deputy, McVey has devoted her
life to protecting other victims.
Six-time Emmy award-winning anchor and nationally best-selling
author of the 2023 best seller “Faith Still Moves Mountains” and
the 2018 “9 Rules of Engagement: A Military Brat’s Guide to Life
and Success,” Faulkner joined FOX News Channel in 2005. She serves
as the anchor of The Faulkner Focus (weekdays, 11 AM-12PM/ET) and
co-host of Outnumbered (weekdays, 12-1 PM/ET). Both programs
outpace multiple broadcast and cable news programs in total
viewers, including NBC’s TODAY with Hoda & Jenna, ABC’s GMA3,
The Kelly Clarkson Show, The Talk, NBC News Daily and The Drew
Barrymore Show. Throughout her tenure, Faulkner has conducted
insightful interviews with major newsmakers, including
then-President Donald Trump, Sen. John McCain as well as Olympic
gymnast Gabby Douglas.
