The details are so crazy. I couldn't make sense of it.

A successful young couple ambush, they said, in the dead of night, attacked, abducted.

We're like, wow. Where is she?

I didn't have a clue what happened.

But the real question, was their story even true?

We were not able to substantiate any of the things that he was saying.

They branded the couple as liars.

Could this be some kind of hoax?

Who was really behind it all?

Normal people don't do things like this.

This whole story could take another crazy turn.

He said, I know that I need to pay for what I did.

I'm Lester Holt, and this is Dateline.

Here's Josh Mankowitz with Twisted Tail.

I was asleep in bed.

It was about 5 o'clock in the morning. Frightening doesn't begin to

describe what she went through. And the next thing I knew, there was someone laying on top of me.

She was instantly the losing player in someone else's game of power and control. Their hand was over my mouth.

If you're wondering, there was no way to fight back.

I must have been screaming.

This woman doesn't want us to use her real name.

We're calling her Samantha.
