Man gives hitchhiker a lift home-and is shocked by the news the next day

Carter has always been one to stand by and help those in need, so when he spots a young hitchhiker named Avery stranded on the side of the road, he doesn't hesitate to offer her a ride. On a scorching summer afternoon, he just wants to help. He drives her to her little house on the outskirts of town, expecting nothing more than a warm smile in return.The next morning, as Carter casually glanced over the news over his coffee, his hands shook and he gasped. His face paled as the reporter's words sunk in. The girl he'd only yesterday rescued was now at the center of a shocking headline. And the truth flashed across the screen, leaving him frozen in disbelief.
