Katie Beers, now 34, participated in a Reddit AMA on Thursday, during which she revealed that the years of sexual abuse she suffered at the hands of her godmother's husband prepared her for the ordeal. She was just 9 when she was abducted by John Esposito in 1992, who lured her in with the promise of a girl for her upcoming birthday. Espositio then took her to his house where he kept her in a dungeon he had specifically built for her that was buried under his garage and hidden by a 200lbs. slab of concrete. Linoleum flooring and carpeting covered the trapdoor, which was tucked away in a closet whose entrance was obscured by a bookcase. Katie was trapped there in almost complete darkness for close to three weeks, while her captor sexual abused her and police were just feet away, having set up a command post on Esposito's lawn but unable to hear the girl's screams because she was buried away below the ground.

I assume that’s a typo.
It’s supposed to be “gift” instead of “girl.”
Amazing that she now has a normal life after that horrific early childhood. She was surrounded by evil adults for years.
Doing the jobs Americans wont do...
The linked 20/20 article says this all occurred in Long Island, NY. Everyone involved was an American. The story has no indication of any other nationality being involved.
She doesn’t have a normal life.
It isn’t normal to struggle with memory blocks as she describes.
There are almost certainly many other issues.
She does, however, have a much better life and she seems grateful for and satisfied with it.
I remember that case. The cops KNEW she HAD to be on his property, couldn’t prove it, so they PARKED on his ass.
