Thanks for reading! I thought the story was fascinating - and certainly not what I was taught in Psych 101!

Wild story! Thanks for all the research!

P.S. Clark is hot as hell.

Thanks, LD! Yes, you can see how someone might have felt an attachment to him!

What I found so interesting is that Clark was not her captor - though most stories refer to him as if he was there from the beginning as a bank robber. He came in that afternoon and instantly made things better - and made the hostages feel safe. Who wouldn't care about someone who did that for them?

(Plus, he got them tampons when they needed them!)

I found that strange too, like it was painted as if he was involved from the start. Odd indeed but a person I would be grateful for, for sure! Especially for the tampons!
