Saviors of Doris Smith

On the night of September 16, 1995, Thomas Wright of Eldon, Missouri had a terrifying nightmare about his mother. It disturbed him greatly and it caused him to sit in his bed and pray for her. His mother is Doris Smith and was working as a deputy sheriff for the Miller County Sheriff's Department. 

He stated; “I could see my mother’s squad car. There was a struggle. I saw the person take my mother’s gun. It was a woman. I remember the gun moving back and forth and it looked like my mother really wasn’t winning the struggle. She needed help. A gunshot went off. And that was the most disturbing thing about the whole dream, the fact that I didn’t know who was shot and why. The only thing I could think at that point was that there was a possibility that my mother might have been taken away from me.”

The two have a strong bond and were best friends. He stated that they could typically feel each other's hurt.

On September 17, 1995, Doris was transferring a prisoner who wrote bad checks and was sentenced for a year. She had to drive the prisoner to a facility four hours away and as they traveled towards Laddonia, Missouri a series of events that similarly happened in Thomas's dream began.

Around 6 p.m. the prisoner had gotten her hands out of the handcuffs (her hands were small). She began to attack Doris and Doris had to fight for her gun and as well as her life. Unfortunately, Doris was constrained by her seatbelt and was losing the fight. Things had differed from Thomas's dream though. Two men helped Doris. By the time Doris found her composure the two men were gone.

But they know what they were driving as someone stopped at the scene and took a picture (posted above). The men were driving a pre-1995 dark blue Chevy CK pickup truck with tinted windows and an extend cab. They were also towing a blue and white boat.

Thomas and Doris were very thankful to the two for saving her life and went on the show Unsolved Mysteries to help find them. The website says that Doris still hasn't found the men who saved her that day.
