READ MORE:A hitchhiker who survived a ride with a notorious serial killer learned the reason he was allowed to walk away in a jailhouse interview.
This rattled Fishman who was left wondering how he was able to get away from Carr's clutches. Years later he would finally get his answer in a jailhouse interview. Fishman, now an award-winning New York Magazine journalist and hit podcast creator, was an intern at a local newspaper in Norwich when Carr picked him up.
In 1972, he picked up 16-year-old Tammy Ruth Huntley and drove her from Miami to Mississippi before he strangled her. While he was still an intern, Fishman reached out to Carrs family and tried to schedule an interview with the killer. In the mid-1970s he finally got to speak with the man who let him live.
