NEW YORK (CBS) The case of Angela Mischelle Lawless, a murdered 19-year-old whose story was told on 48 Hours | Mystery on Saturday, has focused attention on the potential dangers of strangers on the road and how to defend against them.

John Perkins provided some analysis on the CBS News/48 HOURS website Crimesider.com. You can watch the promo for the show and read the shortened version here.

"48 Hours: The Girl Who Knew Too Much"
Authorities believe Lawless was murdered in 1992, in Benton, Mo., after she pulled her car to the side of the road, possibly having recognized her pursuers, and got out of the vehicle, as an argument or fight began.

Print edition excerpt: "Let me start by saying I thought I'd seen all that the world of 'reality-based self defence' had to offer, so for the easily bored out there, I'll cut to the chase. What I witnessed on the weekend of 26 and 27 March is the closest thing I've come across that resembles a modern-day, reality-based martial art and not just another 'combatives system'. Does it work? Hell, yeah! I got my arse well and truly kicked and at times felt like I was in the middle of a Jason Bourne fight scene."
--Clive Girdham, former Senshido and Geoff Thompson instructor [excerpted from the Aug. print edition of Blitz Martial Arts Magazine]
