Kara Robinson recalls how she escaped from a serial killer in doc: ‘I was not going to be his intended victim'
Fox News
Kara Robinson opened up on how she managed to escape from a serial killer as a teen in South Carolina.
"I want to help people," she told Fox News about why she chose to relive her past for the special. "I realized that if I was going to do that, I had to tell my story… I wanted to be in control of it. I wanted to make sure the story was told accurately. So I reached out to my friend [kidnapping survivor and child safety activist] Elizabeth Smart. I told her this is something I wanted to do. She recommended the team that I ended up working with and they have just been so fantastic through the process."
It was 2002 when the high school student's tranquil life turned into a nightmare. After Robinson was taken by her captor in broad daylight, she was forced into a dark storage container and driven to his apartment where she was sexually assaulted repeatedly.
