Remember the Katie Beers crime?

She was held captive underground. She has now released a book
she has a facebook page;;;;

"""Buried Memories: Katie Beers' Story is a never-before-told true story of survival, memory and recovery. Katie Beers was a profoundly neglected and abused child even before she was kidnapped on Long Island in 1992. Abducted by a family friend, she was held captive in an underground cell for 17 days and sexually abused. With smarts and strength, she slipped the bonds of captivity and began a new life.

Katie, now a married working mother, has revealed her inspiring story of torment and recovery to the TV reporter who, as part of the original media frenzy covering the case, sought the ending to one of the most compelling sagas in New York criminal history. Katie, at the center of a national media storm, dropped out of sight 20 years ago and - until now - has never spoken publicly.

Her appearance January on the Dr. Phil show and in People magazine to discuss her book is the first time she has ever spoken publicly. The telling of her story, upon the 20th anniversary of her rescue (January 13th) offers enlightening hindsight into what enabled Katie to overcome a lost childhood.

The book includes never-before told details of her ordeal and the shocking discovery of audio tapes recorded by her kidnapper during the captivity.

She lived down the street from my grandparents when she was kidnapped. I think of her all the time when I pass.

Remember the Katie Beers crime?

My school bus passed the house she was kept in every morning. I couldn't believe when she was found because I also admired that house in the morning because it had pretty columns that kind of stuck out compared to other houses on the street.

My neighborhood was just out of it's mind when we all found out that she was held captive there!

I always think about her... I was in elementary school when that happened and it made such a huge impact on me at the time. Even though I can't stand Dr Phil, I will watch when she is on.

I remember her story. I was in middle school and remember that nobody was allowed to go to Space Plex anymore because that was where they initially said she was abducted from. I'm glad she is finally telling her story. I hope she has had a good adult life.

I lived in the town where she was found and can remember that we used to drive past the suspucts house. Imagine she was underground all along

Re: Remember the Katie Beers crime?

It hit me close to home because the suspected place was Spaceplex which was very close to where we lived and MY name is Katie. How can you not feel something when she has the same name?
