John Wayne Bobbitt--where exactly did Lorena throw it?

Back in the 90's I lived on the west coast. I heard about the whole...incident, but I wasn't familiar with Virginia cities/geography at the time. I moved to an area not too far from Manassas over a decade ago and was surprised when I found out that was where the Bobbits lived.
I've been listening to a lot of "true crime" podcasts lately and when I listened to one about the Bobbits, it was interesting to hear the podcaster mention specific places (the Prince William court house, the apartment complex they lived in, Prince William Hospital, etc.) because I actually know where all those places are. Now I'm curious...they say she threw it "into a field across from a 7-11" (the 7-11 is relevant because apparently when they found it, they got a cup of ice and a paper hot dog bag from there to transport it to the hospital for reattachment.) Does anyone know exactly where this field/7-11 is? Cross streets? Thanks. |

Rabbit Hole!!
https://offbeatnova.com/2020/09/26/lorena-bobbitt-revisted-examining-nova-dark-tourism-in-manassas/ Has pictures too! "Lorena got into her 1991 Mercury Capri with the weapon and penis still in her hands and drove off out of the complex down Maplewood Drive. At the intersection of Maplewood Drive and Old Centreville Road, she finally realized her husband’s severed penis was still in her hand and tossed it out the window across from a 7-Eleven in a grassy field in front of the Paty-Kake Daycare Center.

| I remember how shocked and outraged jerky guys were when this happened, lol! Until then, they never imagined a woman would slice their dick off. The horror! |

OP here. Thanks! I know exactly where that is; a few weeks ago my husband had to get his car fixed at one of the dealerships near there. Crazy! |

| What if someone walked their dog nearby and dog ate it? |

Yes. When this happened, the story in the paper was riveting. From a variety of angles, but especially the plight of the severed subject. |

What apartment complex did they live in, OP? I also used to live in Manassas. I knew it happened there, but I will flip if we lived in the same complex. ✂️ ✂️
Also, what’s the name of the podcast? |

Oh, I see it’s in the link. Those pictures don’t look like where I lived, though it was forever ago. |

| When my husband (then boyfriend) first moved to the area in 1998, he stayed with his cousins who lived in Manassas. I drove across country with him for the move and one of the first things his cousins pointed out when they were showing us around the area what is the location where she had thrown it. |

| The field where she threw the severed member is probably filled with ugly townhomes. |

Wonder if they’re haunted townhomes? They might hear it screaming in the night. |
