Welcome back to another episode! This case was made into the movie “Girl in the Shed: The Kidnapping of Abby Hernandez” and boy is it a trip.
Abby was kidnapped shortly before her 15th birthday while walking home from school. Held for months, she suffered at the hands of her kidnapper — an unhinged, gun loving, anti-government, 34 year old man.
Abby, the clever girl she is, makes the effort to gain her kidnapper’s trust and boost his ego, and it pays off for her in the end.
Thanks for listening!

Join host Johnny Knoxville as he unspools a wild and woolly tale about a group of regular ‘ol folks who risked it all for a chance at a better life. CrimeLess: Hillbilly Heist answers the question: what would you do with 17.3 million dollars? The answer includes diamond rings, mansions, velvet Elvis paintings, plus a run for the border, murder-for-hire-plots, and FBI busts.
