The Girl Who Survived: Alina Thompson Story of How She Escaped William Bradford

By Myrl Langston

In 1984, fifteen-year-old Alina Thompson thought she was stepping into her future when she snuck away to what seemed like a routine modeling audition in sun-soaked Los Angeles. The charming photographer William Bradford appeared to be everything an aspiring young model could hope for-professional, encouraging, and ready to make her dreams come true. But behind his friendly smile lurked one of California's most dangerous predators, and Alina had unknowingly walked directly into his carefully laid trap.

What began as an innocent pursuit of stardom quickly transformed into a terrifying game of cat and mouse with a serial killer who had already claimed multiple victims. Bradford had perfected his deadly routine-lure young women with promises of fame, isolate them from safety, and ensure they never returned home. But he hadn't counted on Alina's fierce determination to survive, or the lengths her family would go to bring her home alive.

Follow Alina's heart-stopping journey as she uses every ounce of courage and intelligence to stay one step ahead of death itself. Witness how a father's unwavering love and a teenager's refusal to give up created a perfect storm that would ultimately lead to Bradford's downfall. This isn't just another true crime story-it's a powerful testament to the human spirit's ability to triumph over unimaginable evil, and a reminder that sometimes the most ordinary people are capable of extraordinary acts of bravery.
