Comment on California kidnap victim lived in open sight

California kidnap victim lived in open sight

A woman who vanished as a teenager reappeared a decade later, telling police her mother's ex-boyfriend drugged and kidnapped her, forced her to marry him and fathered their child. Police say 41-year-old suspect Isidro Garcia was dating the mother of the victim and living with the family in Santa Ana, the urban center of Orange County. According to authorities, the victim was new the country, didn't speak English and saw no way out of her situation as she lived under sustained physical and mental abuse. Medical experts say captor-victim relationships can sometimes involve a "trauma bond" —situations where people ought to leave but do not.
