281: Held Hostage & Tortured for 17 Days...

10 to LIFE & Audioboom Studios
About this episode
This week on Headline Highlights, a 13-year-old girl was attacked on her way home from school, but this brave teen proved her attacker picked the wrong target. After years on the run, the founder of a Haitian orphanage has finally been sentenced to prison for shocking abuse. A prison escape has everyone talking, not just because he got out, but because of why he was behind bars to begin with. The Kim Kardashian jewelry heist trial has come to a close. A good Samaritan’s kind act turned into a nightmare when he was beaten and robbed. And an upscale New York City apartment became the scene of a horror story where a man was held hostage and tortured for weeks.
