No doubt.

What really blows me away with this whole thing is that it was A MARRIED COUPLE that kidnapped her, set up "living accommodations" for her and her eventual children, and kept up this whole religious fanatic charade or whatever going for so long. I mean I can almost understand one F'ing psycho who goes to all this trouble to feed his own sick fantasies or whatever, but how does he find another person willing to go along with this?
Were they driving down the street one day putting together a grocery list and then all of a sudden one of them goes "hey honey, instead of going to the movies tonight we should kidnap a child and keep her in our backyard for as long as possible."

I cannot believe this. I am in shock and am speechless.

Such a F'd up story for so many reasons. I cannot imagine what her parents are going through. 18 years of thinking their child is probably dead, now they have to deal with knowing their child was a prisoner for 18 years and kept in a backyard like a barn animal by a couple of wackos. Of course I'm sure they are overjoyed she is alive, but it's still a lot to deal with.

I really respect the police cheif who looks like he feels like total shit because they had a call from a neighbor and did not relly follow up to see what was really going on. I think that was like 5 years ago so he knows his departments inaction cause the girl to live like that for another 5 years. I'm sure that going to weigh on him for a long long time.
