It was a dark night when John's car had run out of gas and he was forced to pull over on the side of the road and call for assistance. Well, while John was pulled over on the road, he decided to turn on the radio and listen to the news while he waited for the tow truck. A few minutes into listening to the radio, he had heard a bulletin about a murderer on the loose for a brutal stabbing in the very county he had broken down in. Well, this left John with a little bit of uneasiness, so for safety's sake, he locked his doors, rolled up the windows, and shut his car off so that it would not bring any attention in case the murderer was lurking nearby. Ten minutes later, John was getting even more anxious and scared so he double, then triple checked to make sure he had locked all the doors, and all the windows were rolled up. After doing this, John felt a little better and he started to relax and wait for the tow truck.
Ten minutes later the tow truck arrived and John had been stabbed by the murderer. How could the murderer have killed John?
