Joey Bochicchio-Hauser, 8, Found Dead With Her Mother In A Boca Raton Mall Lot
CBS
A South Florida woman has filed a lawsuit against the Simon Property Group, which owns the Town Center Mall in Boca Raton, for not providing enough security.
The woman was carjacked at gunpoint from the mall parking lot last August with her 2-year old son.
She was putting her bags and her son's stroller in the back of her SUV when a man with a gun kidnapped her and her son and forced her to drive to two ATM machines to withdraw money, while he held a gun to her son's head in the backseat.
He eventually returned the woman and child back to the mall parking lot but left her arms and legs bound with handcuffs and zip-ties and covered her eyes with blacked-out sunglasses.
The woman has revealed that she thinks her attacker is the same man who murdered Nancy Bochicchio and her 7-year-old daughter, Joey, in December as well as Randi Gorenberg last March.
All of the attacks are similar in nature and all originated in the parking lot of the Town Center Mall. Some officials have labeled the attacker a 'serial killer'.
This is the second lawsuit filed against the Simon Property Group. Bochicchio's sister filed a wrongful-death lawsuit last month.
In the wake of the Bochicchio murders, Simon Malls say they have formed a crime prevention task force, added additional surveillance cameras and offered free valet parking to parents with children.
