Shawn Hornbeck
Shawn Hornbeck, who was kidnapped at the age of 11 during 4 years, talked in public about this in an interview with “48 HOURS MISTERY”. He was abducted in October 2002, and rescued in January 2007, during that time he suffered abuses form his abductor.
“Nobody knows the real story except for me, there wasn’t a day when I didn’t think he was just gonna kill me…[sometimes] it seemed I was better off dead than living through that.”
The man who kidnapped Shawn Hornbeck was Michael Devlin, also accused of kidnapping Ben Ownby and possibly more victims! Devlin inspired such terror to Shawn, by threatening him and his family that he even passed out opportunities to scream for help. He recalls when he saw FBI:
“I knew when they came in the door, it was either going to be something very good or very bad, it was a new feeling for me to say who I really was.”
