Bound in a Box: The True Story of Colleen Stan (documentary)
(5 pm, Investigation Discovery)

Just before the debut of Lifetime's scripted movie "Girl in the Box,"
about the kidnapping of Colleen Stan, Investigation Discovery recounts
the entire true story through an intimate first-person interview with
Stan herself. BOUND IN A BOX tells the story of Colleen Stan, who was 20
years old in 1977 when she was kidnapped and imprisoned in a
coffin-sized box for up to 23 hours a day for seven years. Stan was
convinced by her captor that she was being watched by a powerful
organization known as 'The Company' that would kill her and her family
if she ever tried to escape.




Girl in the Box (movie) (8 pm, Lifetime)

Based on a true story, Girl in the Box is a dark psychological drama. In
May 1977, 22-year-old Colleen Stan was kidnapped by a young married
couple, Cameron and Janice Hooker. For the next seven years they kept
her imprisoned for up to 23 hours a day in a coffin-sized box hidden
beneath their bed. When not incarcerated, Colleen became part of a
strange new life as a live-in slave, family child-minder, and victim of
Cameron’s bizarre and extreme S&M fantasies. Starring: Zane Holtz,
Addison Timlin, Zelda Williams.

Ahhh ... the blind gullibility of the average American conspiracy
nutter. She was 20 years old for God's sake, not 5. Less than 10
seconds of thought would have solved that, if she had a brain. :-\
