MISSING TEEN HELD 25 YEARS IN “PRISON CELL ROOM” FOUND ALIVE
Episode description
On March 15th 2021, a call for help escaped a prison-like room created to hold the victim inside for the last two decades. A man then called the police stating that he was concerned for the welfare of an individual and gave the address. This was a home in Twekesbury, Gloucestershire, England. Police responded to the call that evening and inside the residence, found a frightened and gaunt victim who smelled strongly of body odor.
They would learn that a 40 year old woman had been held captive here for the last 25 years. She had gone missing as a 16 year old and had been found alive after all these years. Mother of 10 Amanda Wixon was charged with false imprisonment, 2 charges of requiring a person to perform forced labor and 3 charges of assault occasioning actual bodily harm.
