I volunteer to shoot the guy myself. As I understand it, the guy was a janitor or security guard at her JUNIOR HIGH when she was 14. She apparently didn't have the best home situation, and the guy convinced her one day that her parents really didn't want her around anymore. He took her home with him and kept her as a prisoner for several years. They were discussing some of the things he did on the radio this morning, including forcing her to memorize which boards squeaked in the floor so she wouldn't make any noise and alert other people in the house to her presence. This 14 year old girl was used as his personal sex toy for years, and during her imprisonment he completely dominated her world and beat her into a submissive role. Once he started letting her out, it took 6 years for his mental domination of her to fade enough for her to make an escape.

As someone else pointed out, it's the Elizabeth Smart case all over again, only this girl wasn't lucky enough to be rescued. Teenage girls are VERY easy to dominate, especially ones that have shaky lives to start with, and this guy basically brainwashed her into submission.

I have a daughter who is nearly the age this girl was when she was taken. I can't put into words what I would do to someone who tried this with my daughter...it would be the stuff of horror novels.
