Lisa McVey
Lisa McVey (now Noland) was abducted at age 17 in Tampa, Florida by serial killer Bobby Joe Long in 1984 and was one of two of his victims to survive, along with Linda Nuttall. When she finally escaped, the information and evidence she gave the police detectives was instrumental in helping the police capture the murderer. She was commended by police detectives for the detail she was able to remember and the evidence she left in the home of her abductor as these were key to resolving the case.[1]
She became a sheriff's deputy in Florida at the Hillsborough County Sheriff's Office and now works in the same department that found and arrested her captor. She specializes in combatting sex crimes and working to protect children.[2][3][4]
She spoke to media interviewers[5] and wrote a book titled Smoldering Embers about her experience[6]. The story of her abduction was made into a TV drama in 2018 called Believe Me: The Abduction of Lisa McVey.[2][7] Her experiences are of interest to people who seek to understand violence against women and the healing processes of abuse survivors.
'How she convinced him to let her go provides an important lesson for everyone. After all, you never know when you might need to talk your way out of a bad situation. Noland now helps catch bad guys in an official capacity, and her story is inspiring for every woman who considers herself a survivor'. [1]
The drama aired on Netflix in 2021 bringing a new wave of interest in her story and her choices to survive her childhood trauma and abuse by helping others.[8][9]
McVey was present at Long's 2019 execution, and recalled later "It was comforting to know this was actually happening."[10]
