A Good Samaritan tries to help a rape victim, winds up shot and paralyzed, she is shot ON THE LAWN of the Police Station. The rape victim is again kidnapped, assaulted and murdered.

Now, here’s where Paul Harvey would say… AND NOW for the REST of the story…

Fast forward seven years later. A crazed man, jilted lover of the daughter of the same Good Samaritan above, sets fire to a car to lure the family out of the house. Well, this time the Good Samaritan is ARMED and prepared to defend herself and her family.

Read on for the REST of the story…

Early on February 12, 1994, 25-year-old Rhonda Maloney was driving home from her job as a Central City, CO cocktail waitress. It had snowed that night, and Rhonda's car got stuck at the intersection of interstates 76 and 25. A man pulled over: Robert Harlan.
Driving home from work, Jaquie Creazzo, had just exited eastbound I-76 for northbound I-25 when she noticed two cars parked on the highway. As she slowed to see if there was a problem, a woman emerged from the passenger side of one of the cars and frantically gestured for help. Creazzo stopped, and the woman, Rhonda Maloney, jumped in, saying she'd just been raped and that a man in the car had a gun and was going to kill her.

The pair took off with Harlan in pursuit. Pulling alongside, he fired several shots, striking Creazzo in the face, knee and spine. She lost control of the car -- on the lawn of a police station. As the car came to a stop, Harlan ran up with his gun, warned Creazzo that he'd kill her if she told anyone, then dragged Rhonda out and put her in his car.

It took the police 45 minutes to find Creazzo on their own lawn. When seconds count, the police are only minutes away... 45 of them in this case.

Creazzo, who was left paralyzed from the waist down, was able to give police a description of her assailant. But it was Harlan's own family that found bloody evidence of his crime and turned him in three days later.

Rhonda Maloney's body was discovered four days after Harlan's arrest, near the intersection of Colfax Avenue and I-70. She'd been raped, beaten -- there were more than sixty injuries on her body, including a fractured skull and facial bones -- and then shot in the head.

Now, seven years later, we meet Jaquie Creazzo yet again.

On November 13, 2001, A woman who was paralyzed seven years ago while trying to help a rape victim shot and wounded a gunman in her yard early Sunday.

Jaquie Creazzo, 38, was armed when she went outside in her wheelchair with her three daughters, ages 16, 18, and 19, after smoke from a car fire seeped into her Jefferson County home at 3:15 a.m.

Justin Michael Getz, 21, who is suspected of setting the car ablaze to lure the Creazzos out of their house, came toward them screaming and firing two pistols, Creazzo said. "He was loaded for bears," she said.

Getz, the former boyfriend of Creazzo's eldest child, had pledged two days earlier to kill Creazzo and her three daughters after the oldest girl refused to reunite with him, Creazzo said.

Two firefighters and Creazzo's three daughters dove out of the way of the erratic gunfire, she said.

But instinctively, Creazzo fired a volley of bullets. One struck the attacker's leg and he fell. "I'm certain that if I hadn't responded, none of us would be here today," Creazzo said. "He had made threats to kill each and every one of us."

Getz was arrested on two counts of attempted murder, arson and attempted arson, Jefferson County sheriff's spokeswoman Jacki Tallman said. He was being held Monday in the Jefferson County Jail without bail, she said.

Here are Creazzo’s thoughts on arming herself AFTER the first incident…

Shortly after Harlan's trial, Creazzo debated buying a gun. She said she was conflicted because friends told her criminals could take a gun away and use it on her.

"I had thought hundreds of times about using it," Creazzo said. "I had a lot of mixed emotions about it."

But too many people today have no respect for God or the law and she concluded she needed the gun for protection, she said.

"Some days I sit back and I don't know what this world is coming to," Creazzo said.
