Granted I am not taking into account the physical or pshychogical abuse they may have gone through (which I'm sure was a lot) that could have stopped them from trying to make an escape earlier.
Just seems odd that this happened when the captor finally left his house. Does this mean that there was always someone there watching them preventing them from trying to get away?
Regardless, pretty brave thing for this girl to finally cry out for help and get her and the others rescued and a pretty remarkable story all together. Not a funny matter at all but that neighbour's interview was pretty entertaining.

Yeah there are some interesting aspects to this story. They seemed to know quite a bit about their captors, knowing full names and the address of the house was surprising to me. There are some interesting dynamics at play in captive situations, I'm interested to see how they were held for so long in such close proximity to so many people without anyone suspecting anything. It seems impossible, but it happened.
