Victim of Huber Heights carjacking says it’s a ‘never-ending nightmare’

Police say Joshua Beall carjacked Lindsay Hanson a couple of weeks ago.

Beall was in the middle of a crime spree —involving bank robberies and a Dayton homicide — before crashing Hanson’s car while running from officers in Sharonville.

Hanson was trying to deliver a pizza to a man in Huber Heights, when he asked if she had her phone on her. “When I told him no, I don’t have it on me right now, it’s when he pulled out the gun, put it in my face, said I’m taking your car,” Hanson said. She then froze briefly before she ran while Beall took off in her car.

Hanson was notified several days later that police found her car, and unfortunately it was totaled.

With Hanson being a single-mother and learning Beall is accused of killing someone, it makes her replay the moment he pulled the gun on her and what could have happened. “My daughter wouldn’t have a mother, that’s terrifying to me,” Hanson said.

After going through being hijacked at gunpoint, Hanson received bad news from her car insurance company.

“They’re saying that, because I was working while it happened, I wasn’t covered because I needed commercial insurance,” she said. She never knew that was required while driving her pizza delivery route. Her Huber Heights employer is not helping her either. “They only have liability, that doesn’t cover me.”

Hanson now has a car that she bought three days before being carjacked that is totaled and still owes money on. She is also being charged storage fees for it sitting in a scrapyard.  Hanson feels that Beall is still victimizing her.

“It’s like a never-ending nightmare I can’t wake up from, I can’t move on from,” she said.
