An Ohio woman who feared she would die at the hands of a serial kidnapper has shared her horror after his latest arrest.
William Mozingo, 33, has been jailed four times for abducting and torturing young women, and was arrested again last month after Chloe Jones, 23, was found with a fractured skull at an isolated garage in Kenmore, Ohio.
Mackenzie Mastin, who was abducted in 2017, has promised to give evidence at his next trial after he was sentenced to 18 months for the attack on her.
Her horrors
But she fears that the tattooed brute will inevitably be freed to hurt more women.
‘I just couldn’t believe that he was out and able to do it again after doing it so many times,’ she told Ashleigh Banfield on NewsNation.
‘My prayers go out to Chloe and her family for what she had to go through, and I just want her to know that she’s not alone in this.’
Mastin was repeatedly beaten and threatened with a knife after Mozingo seized her along with his own young brother for three days at a house in Canton.
‘He would continuously put a knife to our throat and saying that he was going to kill us,’ she said.
‘And he would threaten to break my jaw if, you know, I cried or yelled for help or anything like that.
‘He would continuously beat on us, my eyes were all blacked out and swollen from him doing that to us.
‘He had us locked in that room for three days and he kept saying that we weren’t going to be able to go back home to my parents.
‘It was probably the most scariest experience of my life.’
Chloe Jones was also told she would never see her family again after she made the mistake of accepting a lift from Mozingo last month.
The young mother was held without water for four days before she was discovered battered and bruised by the garage’s owner who tipped off police.
