Fort Worth Police say that on the afternoon of May 20, 2002, 16-year-old Savannah Cervantes had just arrived home from school when she was brutally attacked by her mother's ex-boyfriend, Vincente Carrera. Savannah says that when she walked in the door, she first called her mother and then went to lie down for a nap. Cops say, Savannah went into her bedroom--unaware that Carrera had broken into the house and was hiding in her mother's closet. He attacked her when she walked into her room. Then, authorities say, Carrera pushed her onto the bed and tried to rape her. Savannah fought back, kicking and punching, doing anything in her power to fight him off. He pulled her onto the floor and tried to rape her again. She continued to fight, but Carrera pulled out a large chef's knife and stabbed her several times. He almost cut off her left breast.

As she tried to defend herself, the knife cut Savannah's hands and wrists. Carrera also cut and stabbed her legs during the attack. He then tied her hands and feet with shoelace cord and tied her neck to the leg of the bed. Carrera went into the bathroom to clean up, no one knows what he was planning to do next. With several cuts and wounds on her body, Savannah managed to untie herself from the bed. She was losing a lot of blood, but she used her strength and got off the floor. She crawled out of her window and ran. She jumped the 4-foot chain link fence around her yard and crossed the street, collapsing in the flowerbed of a neighbor's home. Neighbors called police and Savannah was rushed to the hospital.

Savannah was taken into surgery upon arrival and survived. She's now on a long road to recovery. She still lives in fear because Carrera has not been caught. Cops have run out of leads. Savannah wants Carrera caught so badly that she has agreed to put her story on national television.



Thoughts? The above was taken from the AMW archives. Carrera was aired as a commercial break case on June 7th, 2003. As far as I know, he is still at large as of this posting date. (9/13/2015). If anyone has proof otherwise, please feel free to e-mail us. I hope Savannah doesn't mind this case being posted again, but she still deserves justice if he's still out there and I want to make sure she gets it.
