Was she ever left alone with Trotta or was she with the kidnappers?

From what I've read, the kidnappers were always there too. But it would have been two against two in an apartment a block from police HQ. And the kidnappers must have slept at some point -- couldn't Elizabeth have forced herself to stay awake one night, and quietly woken Trotta with a whisper to please help her, call the police when he leaves the apartment in the morning, etc.? I guess we'll probably hear the explanations, but it's pretty hard to figure based on what we know so far. I think it's possible she was kept on some kind of drugs which made her foggy-minded and compliant -- that would explain her apparent sudden psychological recovery.
