In fact, Mr. Sallis's proposed plot sounds very much like an
actual case that occurred in California some years ago. The
real-life victim was 20 when she was kidnapped, but she was
kept a captive for 7 years, and much of that time she was
imprisoned in a box underneath her abductor's waterbed.
Christine McGuire, who prosecuted the kidnapper, wrote a book
about the case called PERFECT VICTIM with journailst Carla
Norton. You can find out more about the book at:
At least I hope you can. SOmetimes, those long URL's flummox
me.
