Sammy Green was walking home from school in Pottstown , Pennsylvania , on Friday, November 11, 2022 , when a strange woman started following him home.

The woman insisted that she knew his family and promised to buy him 'anything he wanted' at Wawa , a local convenience store.

In an attempt to flee the suspicious woman, Sammy walked into Dani Bee Funky , an unconventional gift shop, where he went straight to a cashier who was working the register.

Security footage shows that Hannah calmly walked up to the store’s front door and locked it.
