Welcome to episode 87, in which Ben begins telling the story of Jaycee Dugard, who was abducted on her way to school in California in 1991 at the age of 11.
Hear about her kidnappers, what she endured at their hands during 18 years of captivity and how, if there hadn't been numerous lapses by law enforcement, she could have possibly been freed much earlier...
Tune back in next week for Part 2!
To finish things off Claire shares a tale that was inspired by a random conversation about a movie, and the subsequent pondering about whether it was based in fact. The real person behind the possible inspiration is just as bizarre as the character - find out what Spain's first serial killer got up to and the incredible explanation he offered for his actions.
