Today's headlines are rife with kidnappings. But, back in the day when there were no Amber Alerts, being rescued alive was even more of a miracle. Today's guest, Katie Beers, survived a horrendous kidnapping that made headlines 20 years ago when she was 9 years old. It was a never-before-told story until she summoned the courage to reveal it in Buried Memories, a New York Times bestseller released this year. Neglected and abused, even before she was kidnapped by a 'family friend' and held captive in his underground bunker for 17 days of torture, Katie has literally 'lived to tell the tale', and inspires others by her story of survival.
