Source:IMDB- from the Wicked Attraction Episode.

“Wicked Attraction examines the kidnapping of Colleen Stan who was held as a sex slave for seven years by Cameron and Janice Hooker.

In 1977, twenty-year-old Colleen Stan hitchhikes from Oregon to California to surprise a friend for her birthday. She never arrives. Colleen is picked up by Cameron and Janice Hooker, an unassuming couple with a newborn baby. When Colleen climbs into the back of their car, it is the beginning of a seven year odyssey of physical, mental and sexual abuse. As time passes, Colleen stays with the Hookers and endures the abuse, even when it seems she is free to leave…leading many to wonder if she was ever truly a captive at all.”

This photo should give you an idea of what sexual slavery (for lack of a better term) can look like, when someone is kidnapped simply to meet the sexual pleasures of the sick kidnapper or kidnappers.

Source:Real Life Journal- this is not from the same episode or story, but hopefully the photo gives you some idea what Colleen Stan went through when she was kidnapped.

I’m not sure how a couple could successfully hold someone hostage for seven years without anyone knowing or having any idea where the kidnapped victim is. I mean playing the percentages the victim would probably have multiple opportunities to escape.

Criminals don’t tend to be so efficient to the point that they can’t go that long without making some mistake that gets back to the authorities and screws up their operation. The kidnappers have bills to pay and have to go out from time to time, they have to keep their victim not only alive, but healthy to do whatever they are expecting from that person.

For Colleen Stan who went through that amount of pure torture, worst than spending long periods of time solitary confinement in jail, she seems pretty healthy both physically and mentally.
