Dr. Phil - Season 11 - Eps 95: Young, Innocent and Held Captive
Twenty years ago, 10-year-old Katie Beers vanished, and a nationwide manhunt ensued. Sixteen days later, John Esposito, a friend of Katie’s family, turned himself in and led authorities to his underground bunker where Katie was being held captive. Since her rescue, Katie has never spoken publicly about her ordeal, in an attempt to live a “normal” life. Now, she opens up about her kidnapping in her book, Buried Memories, and shares her horrific experience in an exclusive with Dr. Phil. And, former FBI profiler Clint Van Zandt, one of the first people to see Katie when she was discovered, shares details of the homemade dungeon and why he believes Katie would have never been found if Esposito hadn’t given himself up. Then, two years ago, 13-year-old Sarah Maynard and her younger brother walked into their home and into the middle of a nightmare: Their mother and a family friend had been murdered, and a man with a knife grabbed Sarah and tied her up, and then brutally killed her brother.
