| Alexandria woman fondly recalled - Barbara Bosworth |
Friends and family from Alexandria this week remembered fondly Barbara J.
"Bobbie" Bosworth, the gentle, animal-loving woman abducted and killed last
week.
On Saturday afternoon, Bosworth was kidnapped in the parking lot at
Springfield Mall and driven 18 miles south in her red saturn to a convenience
store in Prince William County, where her kidnappers attempted to steal her
money using her ATM card.
After a high-speed chase by police, the car in which she was riding drove off
the road and she was killed instantly. Her captors, 19-year-olds Lutchman L.
Chandler and Keith A. Baskerville of Woodbridge, survived the crash, with
serious, life-threatening injuries.
The Bosworths lived in a townhouse off Duke Street near Cameron Run, close to
the Vola Lawson Animal Shelter. The son of an Arlington County fire captain, she
was a 1967 graduate of Wakefield High School.
In his only interview, her late husband, Tom Bosworth, 53, recalled her to
The Washington Post as his "perfect match."
"While I'm very calm and factual and practical," he told the Post, "she's
more emotional and intuitive and spiritual. Where I ended up in life, she's the
one who pulled me along."
