Amy Anderson (no relation to Robert Leroy Anderson) survived a kidnapping attempt by serial killer Robert Leroy Anderson and his accomplice Glen Walker 14 years ago and is breaking her silence and sharing her story with KSFY Action News.

Today Walker went before a parole board at the state prison in Springfield.

He's been there since 2000 after admitting he helped Anderson to kidnap a woman Anderson eventually killed.

Tonight, a woman who could easily have been one of Anderson's victims tells KSFY that she is fearful the parole board will release Walker back into society.

Amy says, "He needs to stay in prison. He helped Robert Anderson when he murdered Larisa Dumansky. He would have helped kill me. I have no doubt in my mind he would have been part of it.

Amy is breaking her more than 14-year public silence about the night in November of 1994 when Robert Anderson and Glen Walker tried to kidnap her after one of her car's tires went flat near Tea.

Anderson pulled up in a car and Walker was inside. Amy thought help had arrived, until Robert Leroy Anderson lunged at her.

She said, "He grabbed me around my waist and pulled me towards the ditch."

Amy had no clue what was happening but her survival instinct kicked in.

Amy said, "Somehow I managed to grab the side of the trunk and yank myself away."

She ran into a road and stopped a car with two teen-age girls in it. They got her away safely and she reported what happened to police.

But it wasn't until two years later, when Anderson and Walker were linked to the disappearance and murder of Piper Streyle, that she figured out she had been targeted by the same two guys.

She testified in both their trials and helped send them both to prison.

She wasn't talking then but she is now, worried the man who targeted her once will do it again.

Amy says, "It makes me scared. I wanna know right now just to know so I can put my mind at ease or prepare myself."

The parole board will rule on Walker's request this coming Friday afternoon.
