    I Escaped From a Serial Killer: Kara Robinson Part 1

    Fifteen-year-old Kara Robinson is kidnapped at gunpoint in broad daylight and taken to her abductor’s apartment. Trapped with a man who seems to have planned every detail, Kara begins making a plan of her own — studying her surroundings, memorizing anything she might be able to use against him, and waiting for the moment he lets his guard down. In Part One of her story, Kara reveals how she survived 18 terrifying hours of captivity and made a daring escape, that would ultimately uncover something even more horrifying about the man who took her.
