Arkansas Woman Killed in Mistaken Rapture
by Elroy Willis - May 22, 2011
Little Rock, Arkansas - A Little Rock woman was killed yesterday after leaping
through her moving car's sunroof during an incident best described as a
"mistaken rapture" by dozens of eye-witnesses. Thirteen other people were
injured after a twenty-car pile-up resulted from people trying to avoid hitting
the woman, who was apparently convinced that the rapture was occurring when she
saw twelve people floating up into the air, and then passed a man on the side of
the road who she believed was Jesus. "She started screaming 'He's back! He's
back!' and climbed out through the sunroof and jumped off the roof of the car,"
said Everett Williams, husband of 28-year-old Georgeann Williams who was
pronounced dead at the scene. "I was slowing down but she wouldn't wait till I
stopped," Williams said. "She thought the rapture was happening and was
convinced that Jesus was gonna lift her up into the sky," he went on to say.
"This is the strangest thing I've seen since I've been on the force," said Paul
Madison, first officer on the scene. Madison questioned the man who looked like
Jesus and discovered that he was on his way to a toga costume party, when the
tarp covering the bed of his pickup truck came loose and released twelve blow-up
sex dolls filled with helium, which then floated up into the sky. Ernie Jenkins,
32, of Fort Smith, who's been told by several of his friends that he looks like
Jesus, pulled over and lifted his arms into the air in frustration and said
"Come back," just as the Williams' car passed him, and Mrs. Williams was sure
that it was Jesus lifting people up into heaven as they drove by him. "I think
my wife loved Jesus more than she loved me," the widower said when asked why his
wife would do such a thing. When asked for comments about the twelve sex dolls,
Jenkins replied "This is all just too weird for me. I never expected anything
like this to happen."
