Episode 22: The Abduction of Shawn Hornbeck and Ben Ownby

In 2002, Shawn Hornbeck was only 11-year-old when he was abducted while riding his bike on a dirt road. Mike Devlin held Shawn captive while he endured over four years of physical, mental, and sexual abuse.

Four years and 3 months later, Devlin abducted 13-year-old Ben Ownby and suffered much of the same abuse, but thankfully, not for long.

After a neighbor spotted the truck used in the abduction of Ben, they soon realized Ben was not alone in the house and rescued Shawn from his tormentor as well.
