It’s an Ashcentric doozy up in here. We’re covering the case of the girl in the box, aka, Colleen Stan. Colleen was twenty years old on May 19 1977 when she accepted a ride from Cameron and Janice Hooker. They looked to be about her age, and the woman was holding a baby, what could go wrong? The next seven years of Colleen’s life would be an absolute nightmare. She didn’t realize the man driving the car she got into was a sexual sadist and had plans to make her his sex slave.
