urban myth/untrue but still a great story: Ava Estelle Hunted Down And Shot Two Rapists Rambo Style
When two men raped Ava Estelle’s granddaughter she got even. Davis Furth, 33 and Stanley Thomas, 29 attacked Estelle’s 18 year old granddaughter. Ava took her gun and went after them.
She spent a week tracking the ex cons down to a hotel room where they were holed up. Entering the room she pulled out her 9-mm pistol and shot both men in the groin. When she left the room Furth was minus his penis and testicles and Thomas lost his testicles although doctors were able to save his penis.
“The old lady spent a week hunting those bums down — and when she found them, she took revenge on them in her own special way,” said admiring Melbourne police investigator Evan Delp. “Then she took a taxi to the nearest police station, laid the gun on the sergeant’s desk and told him as calm as could be: ‘Those bastards will never rape anybody again, by God.’
On August 21 the two men carjacked and raped granddaughter Debbie in Melbourne, Australia. Estelle, a retired library worker visited her in hospital and vowed that the two who had attacked her would pay.
“When I saw the look on my Debbie’s face that night in the hospital, I decided I was going to go out and get those bastards myself ’cause I figured the police would go easy on them,” recalled the retired library worker. “And I wasn’t scared of them, either — because I’ve got me a gun and I’ve been shootin’ it all my life.”
Estelle was on a mission. Using the police sketch of the suspects Ava prowled the underbelly of Melbourne for seven days until she saw the two thugs entering a cheap hotel. When Furst opened the door to a knocking Estelle he was greeted with a blast right between the legs. She gave Thomas the same greeting. After doing her revengeful act she went to the police station and turned herself in.
Both men are recovering but aren’t in the best shape.
Lawmen are trying to decide what to do with the 81 year old grandmother.
“What she did was wrong, but you can’t really throw an 81-year-old woman in prison.” Det. Delp said, “especially when all 3 million people in the city want to nominate her for sainthood.”

Thank you! I had forgotten I had this one loaded into the Blog. But it’s a great example of how an urban myth can seem like the news!
Have a good one.
