Summary
For Colleen Stan the decision to hitchhike to southern California to surprise a friend for her birthday proved to be a fateful one. In May of 1977, Colleen Stan got into the car of Cameron and Janice Hooker for an uneventful ride, however what followed was years of torture. Her captor was unfortunately crafty, and over the next seven years she spent the majority of her time in a number of different confined boxes he designed. Imagine existing in a coffin all day, every day for years. Trigger warning: this one sounds rough, because it is.
