Last Ride.
Description
Hitchhiking brings with it countless dangers, as we have seen on screen countless times and with the exploits of killers such as the West's, but for many years it was a commonplace thing to do, the dangers not thought about, merely the destination.
In the winter of 1995, one such hitcher, a 19 year old French student named Celine Figard, accepted a ride that she was sadly, never to finish.
Her last ride.
