In December 2009, 29-year-old Teka Adams was nearly full-term in her pregnancy and trying to rebuild her life after homelessness. When a woman posing as a social worker offered her free baby supplies, Teka thought it was a chance to provide for her future child. What followed was a horrifying four-day ordeal of captivity, deception, and survival.

In this episode, we tell the story of how Teka Adams endured a rare and brutal crime known as fetal abduction — and survived.
