In this episode, we learn how Sandra Cheskey survives the nightmare she and her friends were thrown into in 1973 at Gitchie Manitou State Park.

Sheriff Craig Vinson turned out to be her biggest ally, just when she needed him most.

Annie covers this hero's account of her horrific story....It was a Saturday night, on Nov. 17, 1973, when 5 teens from Sioux Falls SD decided to go to Gitchie Manitou State Park that was just over the South Dakota border, in the most northwestern corner of Iowa.

Their plan was to hang with friends, sing under the stars and sit around a campfire.

But only 1 would make it out alive.

She would be known to most as, The Gitchie Girl.

Unbeknownst to them, they were being stalked.

Hunted.

What happens in the next 12 hours will forever change the lives of so many.

Gitchie Manitou will never be the same.
