Almost one year later the Foot Stabber returned to Willy. T and punctured the skin of another unsuspecting barefooted female. Yet again, he was able to evade authorities, putting the campus back on high alert.
Ten years later the Foot Stabber has left Lexington with more questions than answers. Why are you the way that you are? Where in the world have you been? What is a Tennessee fan doing on Kentucky’s campus? William T. Young Library will not be a safe place to study until justice is served. (You’re welcome for the excuse, fellow folks who need a victory lap or two.)
