Strap in as we journey through the dark story of her abduction, her seven years of unimaginable torture at the hands of Cameron Hooker, and the twisted role of Janice Hooker. We'll shed light on the relentless physical and psychological torment Stan endured, the fabrication of 'The Company', and the breaking point that led Janice to confess to a priest, ultimately setting Stan free. This episode is a deep dive into the human mind, an exploration of the resilience of the human spirit and a poignant reminder of the silent victims ensnared in the clutches of abuse.
