Though Vargas didn’t recognize the man who called her, she stayed on the line for a few minutes because the stranger “sounded like he was trying to reach out for help.” “He kept repeating that he just had a really bad day,” Vargas said of the incident which occurred last week. “And he kept saying that he wished he had someone to hold.” Vargas...
