- 0:32My name is Josh Roberts and it's been a year since I was
- 0:35abducted. I remember it like it was
- 0:37yesterday. I was walking home from school.
- 0:40It was about 6:00 PM and there was a full moon and a chill in
- 0:43the air. I stepped off the bus and for
- 0:46the first time someone else got off with me.
- 0:49I've never seen this new kid at school before.
- 0:52I could hear footsteps behind me.
- 0:54I took a quick glance and saw the kid walking at a brisk pace.
- 0:58I thought he was following me, so I took a left, which wasn't
- 1:02my usual route. I looked around again and saw
- 1:05him take the same left. My heart started pumping and my
- 1:08legs started shaking at the sound of the footsteps as they
- 1:11got louder and faster and then panicked and started running.
- 1:16I remembered a shortcut in the nearby forest to my
- 1:19neighborhood, so I ran as fast as my legs could carry me.
- 1:23Hey kid, wait up, Said a heavy voice from behind me.
- 1:28I tried my hardest not to stumble on the logs and boulders
- 1:31in my path. I could hear the sound of sticks
- 1:33and leaves being broken by some fast, heavy footsteps.
- 1:37My legs started throbbing as the adrenaline wore off, so I took a
- 1:41detour towards a playground. I stopped to catch my breath,
- 1:44looking around for somewhere to hide.
- 1:47Then it went silent. I was doubtful that I lost him.
- 1:51I took my phone out to call the police when I spotted a local
- 1:54news article. Caution.
- 1:56There was a suspicious man on the loose.
- 1:58He escaped the local prison and assaulted an officer.
- 2:02Beware, he may look like a teen but he is in his 20s.
- 2:05If you see him, call 911 immediately and lock your door.
- 2:09My mind started rushing with thoughts and I started to panic.
- 2:14All of a sudden someone started choking me with their arm.
- 2:17I tried to fight back, but they were so strong I didn't stand a
- 2:20chance. My feelings of hope began to
- 2:23diminish as I slowly blacked out.
- 2:27I awoke to find myself in a dark, damp room that looked like
- 2:31a basement. The floor was hard and cold.
- 2:35There were no windows, but there was a staircase and a bathroom.
- 2:38I tried to move, but I was tied up with a thick rope.
- 2:42Yeah, I got them. How much was the deal, 200?
- 2:47Listen, you got to do a little better than that, OK?
- 2:51Fine, you'd better bring the right amount or you'll be tied
- 2:55up like that. Kid.
- 2:56What are they selling me? The guy sounded mad and anxious
- 3:01with whomever he was talking to. Right after he hung up, he
- 3:05opened the door and walked down the stairs with an evil smile.
- 3:09Let go of me. I exclaimed as he taunted me.
- 3:13My arms started to fall asleep due to the tightness of the
- 3:16rope. He came closer to me and I spat
- 3:18in his face. He looked at me in sheer rage.
- 3:25Then the doorbell rang followed by pounding in the door.
- 3:28The guy grabbed some tape and shut me up before I could scream
- 3:31for help. He slowly backed off signaling
- 3:35me to keep quiet and ran towards the front door and looked around
- 3:39trying to see what I could use to untie these ropes.
- 3:42I spotted a rusty sharp edge sticking out of the wall.
- 3:46This was my one hope. I successfully got up and tried
- 3:50with all my might to reach it. As I was trying to Cut the Rope
- 3:54from my hands, I could hear the commotion upstairs getting
- 3:56heated. I managed to free myself from
- 3:59the ropes when I heard the front door slam.
- 4:04The silence was terrifying. I was frozen in fear.
- 4:09Footsteps started coming towards the door.
- 4:11I choked and shuffled back to my original position, arms behind
- 4:15my back, wrists tightly locked together.
- 4:18Now where were we? Said the man.
- 4:22He walked towards me, grabbed my ankles and started dragging me
- 4:25when the phone rang. He dropped me instantly and
- 4:28charged upstairs and wasn't going to lose this opportunity.
- 4:32I untied my feet, grabbed the closest thing to me and hid
- 4:35behind some boxes. Now where did you go?
- 4:40He said as he stampeded down the stairs.
- 4:43I heard him getting closer to where I was hiding.
- 4:45I bolted up from behind the boxes and saw him checking the
- 4:48bathroom. As he walked out I struck him
- 4:51over the head with a pole. He stumbled and fell to the
- 4:54floor. Crimson red pooled around his
- 4:57head. I ran upstairs and out the front
- 5:00door. I stumbled my way to the closest
- 5:02house screaming. A woman thankfully opened the
- 5:05door. She was shocked and fearful when
- 5:08she saw me. The police were called and I was
- 5:10rushed into the hospital. They're still looking for that
- 5:14man, even to this day.
