Ten years have passed and one of the most notorious criminals to ever terrorize Kentucky’s campus is still a free man. The Willy T. Foot Stabber poked and prodded unsuspecting victims, fabricating fearful phalanges throughout south campus at the University of Kentucky.

The Foot Stabber first struck in the spring of 2011. Seeking out distracted students in sandals, the suspect crawled under a William T. Young Library desk and used an object to puncture someone in the foot. The Foot Stabber quickly escaped. Like most criminals, he returned to the scene of the crime. Spotting another unsuspecting victim, he acted again, stabbing another female student in the same location on the same day.

According to the UK police, the Foot Stabber was described as white man, between 5-foot-8 to 6 foot with short hair, possibly a buzz cut. He wore a hat and bright orange shorts or shoes. In other words, a Tennessee fan.

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.)
