Stephanie Slater

Documentary exploring the abduction, rape and incarceration of estate agent Stephanie Slater in 1992, which occurred when she was showing a man with psychopathic tendencies around an empty property. Held for eight days in a makeshift coffin by one-legged Michael Sams in the back of his workshop, Slater was tortured and forced to lie in a bin for up to 23 hours a day. Her ordeal only came to an end when Sams received a £175,000 ransom for her release from her employers. Police eventually traced her brutal captor and brought him to justice, but some of the money has still not been recovered.
