About this listen

 Episode 2: Captive Lives - Escapes, Releases, and Mysterious Returns Summary: When people vanish without explanation, abduction is often feared but difficult to prove. This episode examines remarkable cases where individuals returned from confirmed or suspected captivity after being missing for years or even decades. The narrative explores Jaycee Lee Dugard's shocking reappearance after 18 years of captivity, during which she was declared likely dead; the mysterious circumstances of Denise Huskins' 2015 disappearance initially dismissed as a hoax until her return proved a real kidnapping; and the incredible escape of Amanda Berry, Gina DeJesus, and Michelle Knight after a decade imprisoned in Cleveland. We also investigate the controversial case of Marine Robert Garwood, who vanished in Vietnam in 1965 and returned 14 years later under clouds of suspicion about his disappearance circumstances. Through psychological analysis, survivor interviews, and investigative insights, the episode examines both the extraordinary resilience required to survive prolonged captivity and the complex challenges of reintegration when the missing finally return to a world that had moved on without them.
