In this harrowing episode of Terror Bites, we dive into one of the most disturbing and mind-bending true crime cases in modern history: the kidnapping of Colleen Stan, known to the world as The Girl in the Box. In 1977, 20-year-old Colleen was abducted by Cameron Hooker and held captive for seven years in a coffin-sized box beneath his bed. Isolated, tortured, and brainwashed into obedience through psychological terror and the fear of an imaginary criminal syndicate, Colleen endured what most of us couldn’t survive a week of. She wasn’t just imprisoned—she was erased. From fake contracts to “The Company,” to the chilling moment she smiled in family photos during a brief release—this is the kind of story that rewires your trust in humanity. Was it mind control? Stockholm syndrome? Or something far darker? Tune in to uncover the twisted truth behind The Girl in the Box.<hr> Hosted on Acast.
