The evening took a dramatic turn when the taxi driver took a detour, supposedly to pick up something at home.
The driver stopped at a gas station where he bought a drink before continuing his journey towards Floridsdorf. When they arrived at a construction site, they both entered a container. The suspect gave the woman cocaine and a drink, after which she subsequently lost her memories. The taxi driver then took her home. It wasn't until the next day that the woman filed a police report.
