Real life imitates Gothic: a South Carolina man dug a series of underground holes and bunkers, then imprisoned a teenager in one in order to rape her.
"He dug this pit, and this child was in this pit," McCaskill said.
There's a technology aspect, too. The poor kid txted her way out. She contacted her mother, then "[i]nvestigators used cell towers to determine a general location of the phone." Hm, a networked technology way out of a low-tech problem - I wonder how often we'll see this mentioned.
Reminds one of Silence of the Lambs.
