So we went to the public library.

They had maps spread out on the table.

They decided we'd head to San Diego.

They were like looking at the maps of San Diego.

There was a place called Lakeside, which is like, oh, Lakeside, that sounds kind of remote-ish.

There must be a big lake.

So there's probably a place to hide somewhere around there, which is actually kind of funny because it's a man-made lake.

Surrounded by...

Not by rural areas.

He decided that's where we go.

So they're looking at the map and all of a sudden this guy starts walking towards us and he gets closer and all of a sudden he flashes his badge and he says, I'm a homicide detective.

We've gotten a call and I just need to talk to you because there's a girl who we're trying to find.

We just need to verify that she is not that girl.

Oh, wow.

Shock, adrenaline, fear.

Wanda Barzee, her hand just clamped down on my thigh, and I was just...

Yeah.

It was like being kidnapped all over again.

It was like reliving every bad thing that had happened to me.

And it just made me feel like it reminded me of how invincible my captors felt to me.
