The easy and deceptive escape
Reichle knew she had one chance to break free while waiting in the vet’s office with Jeremy. She explained that she needed to use the restroom, and she slipped a note to a staff member while Jeremy waited in the other room. Reichle was terrified for her life, as her note made clear.
It said, “Make a police report. My partner has made a threat against me. He wields a weapon. Please keep it a secret from him.” All she could do now was wait to see if the staff member would assist her or let her leave the vet’s office with Jeremy.
