Nick Schou's "Just a Random Female," which recounted the harrowing tale of the 1986 murder of Robbin Brandley at Saddleback College and the subsequent search for her killer, will be included in the 2008 edition of The Best American Crime Reporting anthology.

If you haven't read Nick's story yet, you should. But do yourself a favor: Make sure you're somewhere well-lit,
