And she also wants to learn as much information about him as she can. Because Kara plans on getting out of this one way or another. And she wants information to identify him. So she starts memorizing facts about the kidnapper. And while she's in his kitchen sweeping, she uses this opportunity to get close to the refrigerator. And pinned on that fridge are magnets for his doctor and his dentist.

So she knows a woman with red hair probably also lives there with him. And she also sees that he has a pet Guinea pig and a pet lizard. And she memorizes all of this information too. And then finally hours later, it's around two or three in the morning and the kidnapper, he makes her take a Valium and then he takes her and he handcuffs her to his bed and he restrains her right leg.

And then he lays down next to her and he falls asleep. And that is when Kara is like, all right, this is my chance to escape. But then the volume starts kicking in and she's out.

So she tries to slide her hands out of the handcuffs, but it's not working. They're on too tight. But then she notices the handcuffs are attached to a rope with a quick link. Which is like one of those little link things. So as quietly as she can, she bites down on it. She clamps her teeth around the screw. And somehow, she loosens it enough to slide the handcuffs out.

Then she uses her free hands to disconnect her leg restraint. And silently, she slides out of bed. And luckily, the kidnapper, he's still asleep. So she tiptoes through the apartment. And then, bam, she runs out the front door and into the complex parking lot.

286.4 - 299.506 Narrator

and outside there's a car driving by and she runs straight toward it and she waves her arms to flag it down and the car stops and the guys inside are like, what the is this? And she's like, I was just kidnapped and I escaped. Take me to the police, please.

299.686 - 320.777 Narrator

So these guys, they drive her to the sheriff's department and there she's like telling the officers the whole story and the deputy, he's like, okay, can you help us find this guy's apartment? And Kara's like, hell yes I can. So they drive her back over to the apartment complex to try and find this apartment. Here's the problem with that. It's an apartment complex, so all the units look the same.

320.897 - 332.345 Narrator

And Kara, she doesn't know the exact unit, so they flag down the property manager of the complex. And the deputy asks Kara if there's anything she can remember about the guy that they can use to identify him.

332.486 - 350.481 Narrator

And Kara's like, yeah, and she tells them he lives in a bottom left unit, and she describes the guy, and she describes his car, and she says he's got a pet guinea pig and a pet lizard, and maybe he lives with a woman with long red hair. Everything she remembers. And the property manager's like, you know, I think I know who this guy is. So then they take Kara to the hospital to get her checked out.
