December 3, 1983, was just a normal night in Paula Roberts’ busy life — she was working the evening shift at Summer Haven Ice Cream shop in Augusta, Maine, one of three jobs she worked to help pay her way through college. But that changed fast when two men burst into the shop, hit a customer over the head with a heavy weapon, stole money, lottery tickets and food stamps. When they left minutes later, they took Paula with them.

Part 1 of Paula Roberts covers that month between Dec. 3, 1983, when she was abducted, and the shocking events of a month later, followed by an arrest. But that’s only the beginning of the story.

Rebecca does a Negative Nellies Watching review of the Netflix series “Adolescence.”
