Episode 4: Coffin under the bed: The True 'Girl in the Box' Story

Imagine being locked in a coffin-sized box… undersomeone’s bed.

 

Not for a night.

Not for a week.

Not even for months…

 

But for seven years.

 

No light.

No voice.

No escape.

 

Sometimes—23 hours a day.

 

She was taken by a seemingly normal couple.

A family.

 

But what they did to her inside that house…

Was anything but normal.

 

Torture.

Control.

A fake cult.

A slave contract.

 

And here's something just as horrifying—

She wasn’t their first.

 

This isn’t fiction. This is what happened.

And tonight… you’ll hear every terrifying detail.

 

Welcome to Crime Unleashed.
