The way the perp did this was especially sadistic. I know the girls look good, but going through something like this repeatedly has to take a toll.
I didn’t think the two I saw pictures of looked good. They are very short and tiny- I think their growth was stunted, I think he barely kept them alive. When they were examined at the hospital the doctors said they were all malnourished and dehydrated. I think the older one has medical issues with unhealed fractures and things of that type.
I didn’t think they looked good. They looked tough and wiry, but they had to be that way to survive. He fed them enough to keep them alive, as did the German kidnapper who kept a girl for 15 (?) years and guy in California who held a girl for 18 years. Both of them impregnated these girls and there were pregnancies, abortions and some children.
This is such a horrible story. The only worse ones I can think of are the guy who called himself Jet and kidnapped a brother and sister (eventually killing the brother and burning his body in front of his sister, whom he had raped repeatedly for years) and a serial killer (possibly Gacy?) who was almost caught once when a Vietnamese boy he had kidnapped broke away and ran up to a police officer and told him the whole story. The killer came up behind the boy and told the policeman that they were two gay “lovers” having a spat and the officer left and then the killer dragged the poor boy back to his apartment, tortured him and killed him.
It must have taken a lot of courage for this one girl to finally seize her chance, at least in part because she probably feared that nobody was going to believe her.
One girl is still in the hospital with a bone damage in her face.
