I just heard of the Anne Sluti story for the first time today and was shocked by the details. In 2001 Anne Sluti was an happy and athletic 17-year-old high school honor student when she was kidnapped in a parking lot during the day with witnesses standing by watching the abduction.
Her abductor was 29-year-old Anthony Steve Wright who is also known as "Tony Zappa."
The young girl was held hostage while Zappa traveled from state to state. Anne Sluti was repeatedly bound and raped but kept it together during those dark days, leaving clues such as notes behind in the hopes she'd be found.
Police were able to track down Tony Zappa six days after the abduction. After a lengthy standoff Zappa finally surrendered to police and Anne Sluti was safe. Tony Zappa was sentenced to life in prison in 2002.
Anne Sluti decided not to receive counseling. She graduated from the Rose Hulman Institute of technology and now has a career in engineering.
Here are some clips of the movie "Taken in Broad Daylight
" which is based on Anne Sluti's story and stars Sara Canning, and "Dawson's Creek" James Van Der Beek:
