Held Hostage : The True Story of a Mother and Daughter's Kidnapping
Helpful Score: 2


"...the thing will detonate. One wrong move and BANG! You and your little girl will disintegrate." Hours before, three masked men broke into the home of Michelle Renee, assistant bank vice president, and held her and her daughter, Breea, hostage. When dawn broke the kidnappers taped dynamite to the victims and prepared them for their ultimate demand. Michelle would rob her own bank, or she and Breea would die. Miraculously they survived. But as the FBI's investigation unfolded and as the elusive gunmen threatened Michelle and her daughter from the shadows, the case took a startling detour. Michelle's innocence was called into question. The traumatized victim was now the suspect.
