LEBANON, Ore. (AP) — A lucky sales call from a Las Vegas, Nevada, company led deputies to rescue a 33-year-old Oregon woman who was being beaten and strangled, a sheriff says.
Linn County Sheriff Bruce Riley said the Lebanon, Oregon, victim didn’t intentionally answer her phone, the Albany Democrat-Herald reported. It was in her pocket and somehow picked up the sales call Wednesday during the attack.
The concerned saleswoman turned to her boss at Americare Health, who tracked down the woman’s address from previous sales and contacted Oregon law enforcement officers.
