Imagine waking up to your dog, curled up next to you, whimpering, in a room you've never seen before, and someone in the corner staring at you. No. Have y'all booked crime con yet? Oh, my God, please do. Come on, don't embarrass us. Come on. And I think we'll get a listener discount code, but I'm waiting for it. They said we do, so we'll let y'all know ASAP. Right. And then we'll be there. Come on, Vegas? What's doing, man? Vegas, baby. What happens in Vegas? I knew it. I knew you were gonna do it. What happens in Vegas stays in Vegas. We gotta finish it if we're gonna start it. So, there it is. There it is. And now... Oh, no, man. No, I was gonna say, it's N.C. Zers, which is also where... What's it called? Vanderpump's restaurant is... Yeah. Well, we can just laugh over Bravo stuff. Oh, my God. Oh, my God. I think Oliver still works there. Stop it. Yeah. Okay. Y'all, come on. We can do just a little sidebar of like a short and sweet Bravo crime while we're there. Right. And we'll be like, we'll be like, Oliver, Rockham knew you were married, huh? Yeah. Yeah. You can be straight with us. Yeah. Just be honest with us. The jig is up. It's up. Oh, no. And then someone asked us to explain a call in a minute. Oh, yeah. Rebecca posted about the Amanda West drama from Summer House. And someone was like, can you explain, because not all of us listen to Bravo, but we love tea and I appreciate that. I really do. I appreciate that. And I forgot to address it on Instagram, but like, okay. How would I say it? If you don't care, skip ahead. No more than 30 seconds. We will not spend a lot of time on this. But here's the deal. Summer House is a similar show to Vanderpump Rules. Young, 20, 30s at this point, 40 somethings live in a house in the Hamptons during the summer. They live in New York City, but they go all out on the weekends. Well, two of them. Ball to the wall. They get lit. They get lit. Two of them are married. It's been a rough season for those two. But they've been married for 10. Oh, no, they've been together for 10 years married for like five. If even that. They've announced their separation. And now the woman in that relationship, Amanda, is now dating another person who lives in the house with them during the summer west. Her best friend's ex-boyfriend. Her best friend who lives in the house with them was dating west. They weren't dating at the time, but they apparently had been hooking up again. And whatever, it's drama. It's a scandal. All a lesser, a poor man's scandal. All of you a mandible, a mandible. You know, so, you know, we need it. We need it. Sorry, I'm here for a scandal. Uh huh. So there it is. There's the very short version. Go to TikTok. There's a lot more like conspiracy. Yeah. Look in season three, 10 years ago, look at Amanda's looking at what? And you're like, no, no, no. I know. I don't think it's been going on that long, but well, he's, he's newer than that too. So don't come out with like West. It wasn't there in season three. I know, of course. Of course. Okay. Can I get on with it now? Okay. Okay. Sorry. Sources. The hardest book in the world to get apparently. Uh huh. The Bible. No, it's called your mind and an English version is not easy to come by. Um, I saw one on eBay. I found a used version finally on Amazon, but it took a month to show up. So crazy. So I had to push the story back, but I nailed it. Okay. Also, um, a Swedish documentary. I'll tell you at the end what the title is that I watched and I'm fluent. Now you're fluent. Yeah. And you can read subtitles faster than anyone this side of the Mississippi. That's right. Yeah. There's one that shows me English subtitles, which, uh, yeah, not, not nothing. I know not your thing. No, it was exhausting. Um, BBC and the Guardian. Ooh. Okay. 38 year old Martin Trinneborg is a physician, a general practitioner specifically from Christian star Sweden, but he worked as a contract doctor. So only a few days a week, which is way more common there than it is here. It allows for flexible work hours. You know, you make your own schedule. Quality of life is better. The whole thing you'll have all figured out. I know. That sounds lovely dreamy. Okay. He works three days a week at the medical center and the rest of the week, he moon lights as a carpenter and doing like house projects, building things, fixing things. Um, his house looks like an old farmhouse that I imagine was built in 1400 1306. Yeah. So probably constantly, you know, needs maintenance and it's on a sprawling piece of land and the country said of Southern Sweden. I mean, wow. But with so much room, he was in the middle of building an equipment shed on the property. His neighbor said it was really impressive watching him build, build it board by board completely by himself and it was all self taught, which according to his friends and colleagues was pretty much the theme of Martin's life. His friend Klaus said he was very goal oriented and one of the smartest people he's ever met. He taught himself other languages. After high school, he went to Carol and ski Institute for med school, which is top tier. It consistently ranks in the world's best universities for medicine and life sciences. His friend Jonah said he had, they had textbooks the size of phone books and Martin could understand everything in one read. Wow. Phone books were giant books of phone numbers. What a fun. How Google the pages were tissue thin yet the book weighed 45 pounds. Yes. And they're five inches thick. Yeah. So, um, there you have it. White pages were businesses. Yellow pages were residents opposite. Right opposite. Yeah. I don't know, but there were two different colors for two different types of phone numbers and you had to figure it out alphabetical. Thankfully God and that was that. That's how you did it. It was like, it was a crazy time to be alive. Crazy time to be alive. Martin was in the military and trained as a mountain rifleman. So it's sniper, which requires significant physical strength to carry heavy ass equipment through all sorts of terrain. And he was kind of a skinny dude. So determined to be the best rifleman you could be. He read all sorts of shit to learn how to like best absorb nutrients to gain weight and strength and whatever. And apparently that was by drinking an insane amount of oat based gruel, which is very caloric and easy to digest and manages sickness, bill strength, blah, blah, blah. So every night he would set an alarm in the middle of the night and drink as much as he could stand. Why can't he do it midday? Cause middle, I'm guessing cause middle of the night, your metabolism slower. And he's trying to gain some weight. Wow. Commitment. Yeah. Point being, he is very ambitious and wanted to be the best at everything he did. And September 2015, he had a work event with his colleagues who are all bringing their wives and Martin single. And even though I mean on paper, he's a catch and he's good looking, but he didn't have the type of game where he did. I go to a bar, meet a girl and invite her, but he didn't want to show up alone. So he decided to peruse an escort site. He said the profiles were very, you know, like call me and we'll have sex. Very transactional. But then he came across Isabelle Erickson, a beautiful blonde offering not just sex, but a girl for an experience. Her profile said it would feel like, it wouldn't feel like a paid escort. It would feel like a genuine date. And that's exactly what Martin was looking for. So done. Which now saying out loud, it really, I realize how much it sounds like a rom-com. I was about to say office party. I thought that's what you're going to say. It wasn't similar. My favorite party. Yes, my favorite Christmas movie, the office party. The nerdy IT guy tells us coworkers he has a model girlfriend, but they they're calling bullshit and it is bullshit. He's lying. So he hires an escort to go to his Christmas party to prove them wrong. And Julian Bell's the pimp. She is GD funny. Oh my God. She's so good and everything she does. She's so funny. Go watch it. Just I mean, you can you do just those scenes. Oh, it's so good. So that's what I immediately picture. Yes, and it is like that. So it's set up here. Okay. And this is how Martin meets Isabelle Erickson. I can't believe you had her name just the tip of your tongue right off the top of your head. I love her. She's so funny. I love I was definitely going to have to think about the name, but there you go. There it is. God, she's good. Workaholics, you'll know. Yeah, I was about to say she's a workaholic. She's on my other favorite Christmas movie the night before everything. Oh, okay. Yes. Back to it. Isabelle was born in Udavala, Sweden nailed it alongside her older sister and her parents, Christina and Michael. She grew up with their very standard kid dreams. First, she wanted to be an astronaut. She wanted to be a horse trainer than a dog breeder. She wanted to be a makeup artist at one point. And of course, as most young girls do, she wanted to be a model. One dream she kept always coming back to though was owning her own company since that's what her dad did. And I don't I don't know exactly what her dad did, but Isabelle practically grew up sitting in his office watching him work and making him explain what each paper met, which is so cute and so so annoying. No way. No way. No way. Get the hell out. Yeah, I love you. Get out. I love the curiosity. It is so good. Don't worry about it. Right. It's going to bore you to tears. Don't worry about it. Go right over your head and it's wasting my time. But cute. She started riding horses when she was just four years old and she loved the outdoors, asked at her family. They would often take day trips to explore a new part of the countryside, have picnics in the forest to see some wildlife. What fairy tale? Fairy tale memory making stuff right there. So Isabelle grew up not having the typical fears other kids had like snakes, spiders, shit like that. Never bothered her. In fact, her mom said there wasn't anything she was really afraid of. Never scared of the dark or monsters under her bed. Didn't bat an eye at a horror movie. Meanwhile, her older sister would be like digging her nails into their dad's arm or hiding behind her mom. As a bell is like, meh. A guy in a mask with a chainsaw and he could take it further. Well, when does it get scary? Yeah. One thing she didn't love though was school. Kids, obviously. She made average grades, but hated studying and it was never her priority. Obviously her girlfriends were there were five of them and their click and of the five Isabelle surprisingly was the shyest of them. And I say surprisingly because she just seems so fear like a fearless kid that you wouldn't think was timid, but she was. She wore these really thick glasses that she hated and made her pretty insecure. But once you got a little older and you know, more developed, she got contacts and boys started to notice her and apparently even teachers would comment on how great she looked. Which is. Uh-oh. You're dismissed. Thank you. Yeah. But it gave her a boost of confidence and she kind of started to embrace it. And the early 2000s, she was around 16 and 17 and her idols were mail in bar yard. I don't know if I'm saying that right. I apologize if I'm not. I think I am. Mail in bar yard is a Swedish equestrian. That makes sense. Again, a big horse loving family. Every year they would go to a Gothenburg horse show to see the jumpers and she always had mad respect for mail and bar yard. Her other idol was Paris Hilton. I get early 2000s from Paris era. So that she is. Yeah. Hmm. Okay. I mean, never mind. Just I just am working through it. I just did not see that coming. She's she's outdoorsy. She's all about the equestrian. She everything. Paris. Okay. Well, she found Paris's life of luxury and excess fascinating. Oh, sure. That's a different conversation. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. And she envied how freely she could spend her money on travel designer clothes, whatever she wanted. It was a life. Isabel wanted. Mm hmm. Now my understanding of how they do it in Sweden is that in high school, they essentially choose a major like we do in college. So instead of your standard curriculum, math, science, history, whatever, they choose subjects around the industry. They ultimately want to have a career in. So when the time came to choose what subjects to take in high school, Isabel had horses in front of mine and chose classes in land management. But she's a teenager and learning how to essentially be a farmer became boring to her. Yeah. And she soon realized it would would not grant her the Paris Hilton lifestyle. Sure. She'd she'd rock it on simple life with that skill. Oh, yeah, she would. So come to Arkansas or wherever the fuck they went. I think it was Arkansas. Yeah. Yeah. So Isabel soon began to Skype. What? Excuse me. I use Swedish slang to sound worldly. Oh, okay. Well, you nailed it. Thank you. Because I actually I think it's a British slang, but it means to slack off. Dick around. Oh, okay. Phone it in. So she's got it. She began to Skype. Listen, I'm scything right now. And so it's Isabel and she ultimately dropped out when she was 21. She went to Australia for the first time and she loved it. Her outgoing side really peaked there. She stayed in hostels and met interesting people from all over the world who she would go out with and she really enjoyed the nightlife and a more carefree, relaxed lifestyle and ultimately wanted to make Australia specifically Melbourne her home. Her first job was in a cafe, which required her to work nights and weekends, which was not ideal for her. Again, she really liked nightlife. One day she was flipping through a local magazine, backpacker magazine or something and she saw an ad to be a stripper. It was nothing she'd ever considered before, but the idea of using her looks to make a shitload of money was empowering to her. So she gave it a shot and she really liked it. She was good at it. She had fun and the money rolling in didn't hurt. So she was very content. One day a fellow dancer told her that she could make even more money by being an escort and that too excited Isabel FYI in 2015, which is when this was sex work was legal there, but strictly regulated. I think at the time were legal, but street solicitation wasn't. But as of 2023, it's all been decriminalized, brothel based street based wherever, whatever. So that's how Isabel got into sex work. And again, it was something she enjoyed doing. She could work as little or as often as she wanted and she was making bank like 2000 pounds a night. That's 2600 bucks USD. So a pretty penny for a 20 something year old to live off of outside of her work. She was hanging out with like-minded people who also love traveling. The lavish lifestyle and a peak moment for her was when she went to Cannes Film Festival. Oh, I know you saw there. Idol Paris Felton. She also fascinating to me. Caprio, but Paris was obviously her more the highlight. Yeah. Yeah. That was a highlight. So okay. No, but I mean, who's who of heartthrobs and you know, party girls, party girls of the 2000s. By the time she was 30 in 2015, Isabel was back in Sweden living in living in Stockholm. Her visa expired. So she was figuring out her next move while continuing to work as an escort. She had a profile on several websites and her offering of a girlfriend experience is what called the Eye of Martin. So that's where we are. Martin reaches out and they talk on the phone first to get to know each other a little bit and decide to meet on September 10th, 2015. He wants to do a first date so they're not meeting for the first time at this work dinner. Yeah, that's that's where office party went wrong. That's where office party went wrong. Uh huh. Yeah. Yeah. So he goes to her apartment in Stockholm. He brings white and pink flowers that he picked himself and a little bottle perfume. I don't know what. Oh my God. Old world courting with the bottle of perfume. You know, yeah, which Isabel was not used to. As we know, a lot of her clients were married. Some are fathers. So yeah, this is probably refreshing. Yeah. And then she thought it was very sweet. Isabel tells them that she's actually planning to move to California soon and make a career switch. She's kind of over it now and now like over sex work and she's a little older now, which he was very impressed by like making the leap to America knowing no one without a job is. Balzy. It's it's it's ovary. It's what I've really had to think about those and I would say I'm up for it. Sure. The night went well. They did end up sleeping together, which also went well. So he asked her to be his date at this work event that Saturday Saturday night. It's at a very nice nice restaurant. They'll get a three course meal. So it's not a standard night on the job for Isabel to get all dressed up and go to a nice dinner with a bunch of people. So she's excited. She puts on her favorite blue dress and Martin arrives promptly at six. The plan was to hang out at her place beforehand, drink some champagne, eat some chocolate covered strawberries that he brought and discuss the back story. They'll give coworkers so they don't know that she's an escort. And according to Martin, the night went just as planned and he was really starting to like Isabel lending itself more to a rom-com. Yeah, for real Hallmark movie. Yeah. Well, it's about to get an oxygen show real quick. So yeah, sit tight. Oh, shit. Well, about a week later, he decides to stop by her place on his way home from work and on her door is her own missing persons flyer. What? Yeah. Like it says like this person who lives here is missing essentially, which about the neighbors. Oh, what? Okay. Along with the missing persons flyer is a note saying that the locks have been changed by police and essentially Isabel, if you see this, come to the police station to retrieve your keys. Sorry, this is the next day. No, there's a week later. Oh, a week later. Okay. What? Okay. She had been missing since that Tuesday and was reported to police by her friend and her mom who hadn't heard from her. They called around to hospitals and jails with no luck. So police checked her bank statements and there was no activity, which is why they acted very quickly on securing her apartment and starting an investigation. Lack of bank activity. Never a good sign. No. No. Martin is at first shocked, but then panic sets in because he knows he's about to be caught. Oh, uh-oh. Mm-hmm. He drives home trying to figure out what to do. Again, he lives in Christianstown, which is six hours away from Stockholm. Whoa, whoa, whoa. I really, I don't understand this commute three days a week. What? No. It's very much reminds me of Paul Lambert episode where he was going to like Port McCrory, but then worked in Sydney or I'm like, wait, that's four and a half hours away. What? Y'all confused me over there. Are you confusing yourself right now? Do not get it. Crazy. How crazy is that? It's southern Sweden and Stockholm's north. I get crazy. Wow. They're closer to Denmark than you are to Stockholm. Yeah. Okay. Real quick for you. So he came to her door and saw that. Yes. Oh, fuck. Okay. So. Wow. The entire drive, he is panicking about what to do. He finally got back to his house, gets his gun and he holds it inside his mouth. Oh, contemplating whether he should pull the trigger. He's walking around his entire property trying to build up the courage to do it, but ultimately he can't. Oh, God. So he goes into his barn. He unlocks the first door. Then he types in the key code to unlock the second door and the types another key code to open the third door, third and final door. And he hands the gun to Isabelle and tells her to do it. Oh my God. This episode is brought to you by Wayfair. Okay, y'all, if you've been putting off a home upgrade, now's the time to act because it's wayday at Wayfair from April 25th through April 27th.

Based on this gabbering perfume and... Chivalry is what... Tipped you off red flag. The structure on his property that he's been building for the last five years, the ones his neighbors were so impressed with, watching him build board by board while he was also tending to patients, mind you, is a bunker... God, I forgot he was a doctor. Yeah, but it was actually a bunker for his prisoners. Yeah, he's a doctor. Everything I told you about him was true, except when I said on paper, he's a catch because... Oh, yeah. Yeah, yeah, on paper, sure. Right. But all that while he was very smart, taught himself all sorts of stuff, including how to wire, plum and build a bunker. Thank God he didn't kill himself. I know. Because that would have been a miserable death for her because no one knew she was there. Oh, right. That is exactly right. Okay. So while he's very smart, it infuriated him that girls didn't seem to like him. So he came up with a plan to take a girlfriend by force. Another incel, ladies and gentlemen. Yeah. Tell me you're an incel without being an incel. Yet again. Thank you. Thank you so much. He told us about the last time he had sex was seven years ago and I'm like, don't buy it. I don't buy it. Yeah, you never had sex. Let's face it. He knew he wanted to pick a girl on one of the escort sites because according to him, it's more likely they've had a falling falling out with their family and they wouldn't be missed. There it is. Predator. Predator. Dr. Predator. Yeah. Chris. Crazy. He even said that he was under the impression that Isabel came from a messed up background and he was saving her, but not sure where you got that because she's like, no, I just like wanted to make bang. And I'm right. No, he said it was quite obvious her relationship with men was very difficult because all they wanted from her was sex. I'm like, no, that's all she wanted to try to make money. So he also said spending all her money on going out and designer clothes seemed like a waste of her potential. That's not your call to make. I hate you. I hate you. God, here we go. The first date was a trial run to see if Isabel fit the bill. Her tryout, if you will, her audition. Once he determined that she was worthy, he set up a second date under the ruse of a colleague dinner. He brought strawberries and champagne, but what she didn't realize was there was a black mark on the leaves of some strawberries that he had drugged with Rohit Nall. That's what I was. That's what I was thinking too. When you said, did you see it coming? Not only the perfume, but the strawberries. I was like, ooh, they're lace with something. Oh, really? Yeah, I don't know. Oh, interesting. Brought us a snack. I don't know. It just seems like, yeah, I'm good. Yeah. Being a doctor, he knew how much to give her to only sedate her, not fully knock her out. According to him, she's asleep, but can be woken up, which honestly, I don't believe. I think he used that for a defense later. Anyway, sure. When she's out, he removes her underwear, has sex with her, so rapes her. Afterwards, he puts a diaper on her, then a latex, very realistic mask of an elderly woman on her. Scary as shit. And he puts an old man mask on himself and he carries her just outside the door where there's a wheelchair. What? He puts her and her toy poodle Nelly in his car. He wasn't expecting her to have a dog and felt that he couldn't leave it. I'm like, what the fuck? What's with the mask? I'm thinking, Matt, so in case anyone saw them, but I'm like, okay, but you're like, your body doesn't look old just right. Right. Like, but to, oh, it's so fucking creepy. Ew. He also brings the sheets with them. He says to wash them so his DNA wasn't on them since they had sex or he had sex with her. I'm sorry. Right. He raped her. I'm sorry. Right. Not when they had sex. I apologize. Yeah. He takes her phone and then he turns it off. Obviously. Isabel woke up the next morning to her dog Nelly licking her face. She's lying down and her body feels stiff. First thing she notices is the ceiling, which she doesn't recognize. It's a steel ceiling with wooden beams and the room is freezing. She's trying to think of what she did. She was doing before she fell asleep, but her brain is not working at all. Obviously. She rips her eyes away from the ceiling and sees that she is covered with her own quilt, but in a bed that isn't hers. Oh God, it's so scary. It's so scary. She's in jeans and a pink top that are both hers, but she doesn't have underwear on. And that's when she remembers, wait, I put on my favorite blue dress and that's when she, so Nelly is cuddling right up against her practically in her face. Oh, no, it's so sad. She's whimpering. So Isabel tries to calm her down and realizes how hoarse her voice is. It's like she can barely speak and is completely confused, but Nelly is doing the best to explain to her what happened. She's like, well, and keeps looking across her room whimpering and like nudging keeps looking across her room. When Isabel lifts her head to see what she's looking at, her body turns to ice when she sees a man sitting on a stool next to the bed, staring at her. Ooh, this wakes her up immediately. And when she jumps, like when she jump scares, she feels this burning pain in her arm. There is an IV in her arm and she pure instinct. She rips it out and screams in agony. Oh my God. Martin, who is still just staring at her in silence, very calmly says, it would have been better if I did it. I'm a doctor after all. Oh, he put an IV in her arm so that on the drive down there, anytime she started to stir or wake up, he would put more Rohit Mollon to it. Yeah. But more alarming to her is that he says this in Swedish because up until this point, she thought that he was an American stockbroker living in London. Oh, she was speaking in English with an American accent on their first two dates. Oh. So I can only imagine how fast her head is spinning. Yeah. Like where am I? Who are you? What's going on? She doesn't even know if they're still in Sweden, which again, they barely are. Yeah. It is very, it's South Sweden and they're an hour and a half from Copenhagen. There are six hours from Stockholm. So she is about to go to her again to Denmark than she is to home. Yeah. And those are the exact questions she asks. Who are you? What's going on? And she's visibly trembling and he just responds, Martin. Oh, then he assures her that her shivering will stop once her adrenaline settles down and it's all very calm, almost robotic voice. And he suggests that she lays back down to rest and she's like, fuck you. What have you done to me? And she says, I have to get out of here. And he says, no, sorry. And it dragged out tone like that. Or just how he will say it every time she begs to go home. It's all so eerie. Oh, he says he's not letting her go because it took far too long to get her there in the first place and tells her still maintaining the creepy monotone voice that he plans to keep her there for years. She notices two long screws on the shelf next to her and without giving it much thought at all, she grabs them snarls like a crazed animal. Oh my God. He attempts to stab him. Yes. But her body was not doing what her mind like wanted it to. She's been drunk. She's been knocked out for almost a full day. So while the adrenaline is pumping, her legs are not working how she needs them to go. That's so scary. It's so scary. And he so easily deflects the blow, grabs her wrist and grabs the screws. I just have to read directly from her book for a second. As well says it hurts when he uses force to pry open my tightly clenched fists almost as much as it hurts to realize that this man has drugged and abducted me lock me in a bunker. God only knows where and he's planning to keep me here. No one knows where I am or even that I went to go meet him or had I mentioned it to someone now my head is spinning and the last drop of energy I have deserted me. I collapse in a heap on the floor exhausted sobbing trying to understand the next thing that pops in my head. Joseph Fritzel. That's who I was thinking about when I just got chills when I said thank God he didn't kill himself because that was a scenario with Elizabeth Fritzel and Joseph Fritzel. We covered that episode 154 people. Oh man y'all. That was that's exactly what I was thinking when I said that Joseph. It wasn't going to kill himself. I think he was just getting so old and such bad health. It was like God please don't die. Do not die because no one knows she is down there. That's going to be horrible. Horrifying y'all that is this. Oh my God. Well that would be the scariest thing to pop in your head at that moment pop in your head and this is the story of who would become known as the Swedish Joseph Fritzel. Montenegro Berg. Well episode was that I did it 154 y'all. A lot of y'all probably already know it but like it is so fucking creepy. Oh it's horrible. She goes on to say the second person to pop in her head was quote that American guy who kept three girls of sex slaves for over a decade. She is of course talking about the disgrace piece of shit Ariel Castro. Yep. Recalling these two horrifying cases and realizing she's now in the same scenario. She wraps her arms around her knees starts gently rocking back and forth tears streaming down her face. Oh my God my nose got tingling. Oh and she starts repeating. Oh my God. Oh my God. Oh my God. And at first doesn't even realize it's her saying it. She hears it and is wondering like who's saying that and she realizes it's her. Like this is the most amount of fear I think I've ever read someone having and it's so sad and chill. I know the only and there's no silver lining but the only silver lining would be of all four of those victims that she just thought about they all survive. That's true. They all survive and now she can too and she obviously did because you just said the book. Yeah. Thank God. But I'm scared. Think about that for almost two decades and one scenario wasn't Elizabeth hell for 18 years. Yeah. It was a I can't remember the exact amount it was and had kids and they're oh God it's so bad like so she's like sure it's nice that they survived but am I going to have to wait a fucking decade at least. Oh God. Oh so terrifying. Yeah. Martin then walks over to her while she's curled up in a ball. He stands over her and says don't do that again referring to the stabbing Oh yeah right right and she just starts screaming screaming for help screaming that she's going to die scream begging someone to help come and help her knowing good and well it's pointless because the walls are pure concrete. It's completely soundproof but she's just screaming as loud as she can until her throat feels like it's on fire and so is Nelly toy poodle is like I'll help you mom and she starts howling. Yeah. But the moment she takes a break Martin tells her how useless it is and that if she tries to attack him or escape again he'll chain her to the bed. He then turns and leaves and when she hears not one not two but three doors slam she starts sobbing again. And each of these doors are described as bank vault doors. They are each way over 300 pounds. Yeah. Honestly don't even know how he can open them but right this is so like Fritzl. Yeah. Literally do say Google Swedish Joseph Fritzl and Martin Trennberg comes up. How did he get those doors? That's right. I know it's okay. I did see pictures of them and honestly they don't they don't look that heavy or like bank vaults to me but obviously looks comedic evening. Yeah. Obviously he is the only one with the keys to that first door and the key codes to the second and third doors and that first door with the keys are five dead bolts. So on the days he goes to work she and Nellie are left in there for hours. So again like we already talked about is something were to happen to him. Like if he were to die really slowly in a fiery car crash. Yeah. For example, she would have no way out. No. And she realizes this on day two of captivity when he's fixing something and he asked her to hand him a drill and the moment she thinks about attacking him with it he tells her I won't try anything for you if you kill me you'll be left in here with my decomposing body. Yeah. He's right. Like yeah. She knows she can't kill him that can't be an option unless he by chance leaves the first two doors open. Right. She does find a way to prepare for that. When he leaves her and goes to work that first day she spends hours looking for anything she could use as a weapon to use against him in case for some reason he leaves the two keypad doors open. He always has his keys on them for the third one. So she can just grab those from his pocket. Right. She finds a loose wooden plank behind the toilet and pulls it off the wall and there are nails in it. So she looks in the mirror and practices using it on her own neck slowly obviously but just to see like where she needs to hit him to nail that like carotid artery. Yeah. Where do I get him? Yeah. But the thing is he also installed cameras in there so he's watching her while at work. Oh shit. She doesn't get what punished or whatever for this but ultimately she never ends up using it because he never leaves those doors open. By day two he explains to her what his motive is. He said I'm not planning to hit you or murder you. Just a weird phrasing. I want you to enjoy your time here. Cook for me. Sleep with me. Have sex with me. You'll learn to love me like a girl from one. I don't want to hurt you. He built this tiny passageway that is so narrow. The picture will leave you short of breath. Uh-uh. Uh-uh. I can't I actually can't find it on the internet but it showed it in this documentary. So yeah, I'll take a picture and post it. But that's how he lets Nellie out and she does convince him to let her go with them but she's handcuffed to Martin and it's a tiny little courtyard with a very tall fence so she can't get out but she starts memorizing everything around her to try to figure out where she is. Yeah. Sorry that pathway leads to that. Yeah. Okay. Wow. Okay. The only solace too is that he is so pathetic. Mm-hmm. This this would be the type to be like, oh, well, damn this thing. It's starting to work. I love you. I'm gonna crush your short. Yeah. I'm gonna make you a surprise. You can't come. That's why you can't come. No, then you'll know. Yeah. So. Oh, mm-hmm. Mm-hmm. Book smart but not women smart. That can't be trained. So Isabelle has that up on him that. Yeah. So the Martin alludes to having another girl or a few down there. At some point. Does he? That's what I was thinking. No. Well, okay, good. Yeah, you'll see. He okay. We'll see. But he does allude to taking more girlfriends down there and ask her if her mom's pretty. Oh, fuck you. She said she just started sobbing and she's like change subject. Like so the girl you're so if you have more girls down here, where are they going to live that next room because there's like a tiny little room off the bedroom and he said, no, that's the torture dungeon. Oh, so you do plan on hurting me. Right. Got it. Yeah. What the fuck? He also has a bench. He refers to as the fuck bench. This guy's such a loser. Oh, God, I fucking hate him. So the 600 square foot prison has a refrigerator in a bathroom, but no hot water. He was very excited. He was so excited after their first date to kidnap her that he couldn't bother to fully finish construction on it. So there were a few things to do, but in his mind, this worked better because that that way she could give her input on how to decorate it and what color to paint the walls. This is an actual doctor. Yeah. It actually went to like a the best. Great. Yeah. University like crazy. At this, I've done a few corrupt doctors haven't I? In the last few weeks, haven't I? So she says, Oh, funny mention, I don't give a fuck about the walls. Right. And at this point, she hasn't showered in a few days and she has a bad stomach issue. So she has diarrhea, but he wants to have sex two to three times a day and hygiene being very important to this dirt bag. He agreed to let her use his shower in the main house so she could have hot water. Okay. Uh-huh. Okay. Praying that someone would be outside, but this is this really is the country. I mean, it's yeah, there are, I think three houses on the street and he's the last one. Okay. But he's, he's already making some risky moves and I'm here for it. Yeah. I'm here for it. Okay. I'm here for it. You're going to die. Okay. You're going to die. Oh God. Here we go. Okay. So yeah, there are three houses on the street and he's the last one. So there's absolutely no one outside. And he also has handcuffed one of her hands to his. So she can't run while showering. He of course watches her and while washing her hair, she kind of, she's looking up and she notices a small window at the top and before she can even finish her thought, he tells her it's a double glass and to not even think about escaping through there. It's creepy how he always, he answers her thoughts without her saying a word. Yeah. All the time. It's yeah. And afterwards he made her stay undressed from the waist down so he could do an STD test on her. Fuck you. He wants to make sure she's clear before he rapes her again because he wants to start ditching the condom. He wants unprotected sex. Oh my God. In that moment, she is like, please test positive. Oh my God. You're right. What would happen? I wonder was he going to be like, okay, nevermind. Get out of here. You know, probably killer. Let's be honest. Um, he also wanted her to get on birth control so she doesn't get pregnant yet, but he says if she were to get pregnant, he could deliver the baby. No problem. Outside of being humiliating for her, like to sit there like she's at the OBGYN with this fucking kidnapper. She's also like, oh wait, you're going to have to submit patient information. I hear her name when ordering the results to this STD test. So this could work in her favor. Not realizing that he can submit it, submit it under an anonymous person. Oh yeah. Which is exactly what he did. Yeah. But at least it saved her a few days of not being raped from this guy. Yeah. Or saved her from being raped. Yeah. About this guy. Yeah. Yeah. Instead, he made her undress and spoon him while he bitched about women not liking him. Oh, shut. My God. He eventually drifts off to sleep. He actually like starts getting into personal shit about like his penis issues and we'll get into it's just, I'm like shut the shut. Oh my God. I could not care less about what you're going through. You I wish the absolute worse. Yes. I hope it's painful. I don't know. Oh my God. He eventually drifts off to sleep, but she obviously is no less relaxed. She's very tense. She's up all night trying to figure out a way to get her and Nellie out of there while being as still as possible. So he doesn't wake up and you know, wanna whatever rape. She's I'm guessing still handcuffed to him. Yeah. Well, it's Nellie in the main house to know no, no one's in the main house. They're back in the bunker. They're back after the shower. Okay. Yeah. Yeah. They're back after the shower. No, she's not handcuffed to him. He is holding her tightly and actually he's dead asleep. So she was trying. She attempted to get like a little more comfortable and put a little space between them, but when she adjusts her body, he grabs her shoulders scaring the shit out of her. God. And when she turns to look at him, he is wide-eyed staring at her. Oh God. Oh, I know we say it a lot, but it's actually a horror movie. The sudden shift in music changes when she looks back and sees just wide eyes staring at her. It is. Yeah. So scary. Yeah. And when he made it clear, she was not to leave his side and forced her back to being close to shit to him. While he went to work, he gave her three books to read, each of them being about women being raped and murdered. I guess as a reminder of what he's capable of. On day three, she somehow is able to hear voices through the wall. Stop. I know. Because a portion of this bunker is actually storage or like a small garage as a deploy, of course. So if the cops came and said like, what's in there? And he made this storage, whatever. So she hears voices and she knows Martin's at work. So she just fucking screams as loud as she can and the voices suddenly stop. So she's out. She knows they can hear her or at least hear something. Yeah. So she keeps going screaming for help to let her out screaming until she's too hoarse to scream anymore. She physically can't anymore. It's silent for a while. Then suddenly a man walks in. Oh my God. He is just standing there though, probably in shock and she thinks maybe she looks like that disheveled where he doesn't know what to do, but she just blurts out like, help me up and kidnapped. I'm being held here. Please get me out of here and he just stands there motionless. And she walks through the three doors. Yes. Who is this? She's like a partner. Scared like, why won't this guy help me? Maybe he's in on it. Oh, yeah. Reaches behind his head and she recoils. She's so scared. Oh God. She doesn't know what he's doing, but he suddenly pulls off the mask and sees that it's Martin. Oh my God. No, very. It's like that type of mask. Oh, I've picked hers. It will give you nightmares. It's like Hollywood movie mask. Yes. Oh shit. Like the mask goes to your, you know, eye ducts to net back in the neck like fully and this is another. I am a man with a beard. It's not. Oh my God. Oh God. So she thought it was over. How I hate him. I hate him. She thought it was all over and she's like, what the fuck? I'm in complete shock. She thinks she's going to get beaten into never doing that again, but he actually just laughs at her saying you should have seen your face. Isn't this realistic? Cool. Huh? Like you're a true monster and then he leaves again. Okay. She now knows that she'll obviously never be able to overpower him or get out by force. The only chance she has a psychological this fucker has got to be tricked. Yeah. So she's, yeah. She's planning to switch her entire tactic. Yeah. Yeah. Yep. She cooks his dumb ass dinner. So it's ready at whatever time he told her he wanted it by. She's decided not to be scared act not scared of him not to be a threat to him either. Like no more grabbing screws to try to get his carotid artery. Yeah, just going to be his girlfriend. She's acting interested in him being as normal as humanly possible. And he's like, see, I knew you'd start adapting. She's like. Totally. You were right the whole time, sir. This whole 72 hours at this point, you're, you've been right. That's all. So he is letting her into the main house to cook and do other things. Oh, where's the kitchen and the bunker? He literally taught himself how to do everything. Okay. It's a little baby kitchenette. There's a little table by the bed. Again, I'll post pictures. Okay. And now he's sleeping in the bunker bunker to. So yeah, it's been about three days when she starts this tactic day after day. She's doing the same thing. So they go to bed about night six is night or night five. And the next morning she asked him if he could stop by her apartment after work to get some things to make their new apartment homey or. Add a girl again. So he's more than happy to do that. Uh-huh. He stops by her place and that's when he sees the note that. This person's been reported missing and to go down to the police station to retrieve the keys and all that. And he's panicking and obviously is not going to the police station. He takes the drive back to the bunker. When he walks in, he sees Isabelle with the same petrified look on her face as she did when he took her. She's trying her best to like act the part, but obviously she's terrified. Yeah. Uh, and she can't hide it. So her eyes are just terrified. But she can also tell that something's up with him. He has his backpack on and she's sitting on the bed and he grabs a chair and pulls it up to sit across from her. He pulls out an envelope, which has the keys in it and the codes to the door written down and puts, he puts it on the bed and he hands her her own missing person's flyer from her door. He takes out a gun and she immediately starts sobbing begging him not to kill her and to her surprise, he tells her, no, it's for you to shoot me instead. Wait a minute. That's where the full circle. That's what I was telling you about at the beginning. Yeah. It's a very tempting. I'm testing those door codes first. Yeah. And then we will get back to this. Absolutely. We will absolutely continue the conversation. We will circle back one minute. Let's book shell fit for a second. Yeah. It's a very tempting offer, but one that she doesn't take. Yeah, I don't believe him. Uh-huh. She doesn't know if this is a trick or if those codes are legit or if the keys are legit or right if the guns loaded. Right. So she's sobbing at this request and tells them she doesn't think she can do it. I mean, she's never held a gun before, let alone shoot one. Yeah. At the end of the day, she doesn't even think she can kill him. Like, yeah, really doesn't want to shoot anyone. So she hands the gun back to him. The gun was not real. Oh, I knew it. It was another test. She is so smart. Thank God. She is. So how'd she take him up on it? God who? Who knows? Like knowing now the cops are looking for her and she can't be trusted. He definitely would have killed her right then. And praying to God that a neighbor happened to look out and be like, oh, some guy. She came to her door and like left in a little bit of a panic. Yeah. With the missing persons. Yeah. On her door. What's that? Yeah. No, unfortunately. Damn it. So her not pulling the trigger gained his full trust. Hell yeah. Test she needed. I guess she really proved herself. So she's like, oh, this is no problem this note. I'll go to the police station and I'll get my keys. No problem. I'll say I've been out of friend's house and I'm not missing. Easy. I'm so wide out right now. Okay. Please tell me he wants to do that. He is like, great. Let's go. Oh, okay. Let's go. Oh, sweet Isabelle. Let's load up. Grab Nellie. Nellie, you're coming too. Let's go. Going to the police station. Going to Stockholm. This is hours away again. Need I remind you over six hours away. So at a midway point, they stop at a restaurant to get something to eat. While they are, he goes into the bathroom leaving her completely alone. Oh my God. She thinks about running or telling someone, but he has a gun and she doesn't want him to hurt anyone else. Like she doesn't want to fly off. And she's wonderful. Plus she's reminding herself like we're going to the police station. Stick it out. Yeah. And in case he was trying to pull something, she offered to drive the rest of the way since he seemed tired. Oh, even better girlfriend. Wow. She's like, okay, now Nellie, when we get in there, you're going to see a canine unit. You need to communicate to that dog, that German shepherd. You, you, so that on X there, you speak dog to Onyx and let him pounce. Got it? This is all you baby. You just say that command word intimidate. Yeah. You just let him go straight for the balls. There you go. Put more damage on his dick because apparently it's, it's a yesterday's trash and they're, yeah. So they get to the police station and he tells her to act annoyed that they have changed her locks and there's may, may I remind you? It's a police station. So there's footage. Hell yeah. Oh, so she does it. She acts annoyed, quote unquote. The front desk person says the detective who has her keys wasn't available right then, so they have to have a seat and they sit and wait for two hours. No. Thank God they stuck it out. I can't imagine what would happen if he was like, this is taking too long. Fuck this. Let's go. We'll come back later or so. Oh yeah. Yeah. She's scared to scream because again, he has a gun, but finally the cop comes out and since she's reported missing, he has to question her and with not running out of the restaurant, keeping up this charade and the police station for two hours without ratting him out, he Martin 100% trusts her. God yes. Connected to the reception area is an interrogation room. And again, all on footage. A detective pops his head out and calls her over and she slowly stands up and gestures over to Martin asking if he should come and the cops that he knew she did not want him to come in that room. Okay, good. She's like just Nellie though. I am bringing Nellie separate us from that creep and let's chat. Let's have an uncanted conversation real quick. Right. Let's talk straight. Can I copy straight with y'all? Yeah. That guy out there is a fucking monster. So Luna took. She wanted the answer to be no when she's like, again, should he come? And he's like, no, no, we don't need him. So she starts walking towards the room alone and I don't know what it is, but you can almost see how hard her heart is pounding. Oh, you can feel the adrenals pumping through her legs as she's walking towards freedom and it's the cameras at the back of her. So it's only her back, but I'm like, I can tell. Yeah. How like the adrenaline is pumping through your body. You're walking towards freedom or the next best thing a private room with a bunch of cops. Yeah. So he's sitting there the entire time, which again speaks volumes to how much he trusted her and how great of an actor she is because he could have left at any time at all. She, the police don't know who he is. Isabel doesn't know who he is. He lives across the country. Yeah, probably would have gotten away with it, but he just thinks he really thought she was sticking the script at me sitting there in the police station by himself like a goon. See, this is his personality reeks of this. He's pathetic. He's so easy to manipulate. Uh-huh. Sit down. I'm going to go talk to this police officer. I won't say anything. Idiot. Right. What an idiot. So, okay. Now we're cooking. Hit this guy is completely duped and when the cops closed the door to the interview room, she first asked if anyone can hear them from the reception room. The cop says, no, wow, what's going on? And after fumbling on her words, she takes two deep breaths and says the man sitting out there kidnapped me. Damn. And he has a gun. So like, hmm, act accordingly. Shit. Oh God. Hear that. That's a McVitie's moment starting. Whether it's a work catch up. Oh, don't mind if I do. Or five minutes in the work run. Go on.

Your capital's at risk, other fees may apply, tax treatment depends on individual circumstances and is subject to change. Isabelle tells them everything, that he's a complete monster, he has a gun in his car as we speak, she says, she doesn't know if one's actually on him, she thinks it might be, she just doesn't know. But she's like, I know there's one in his car. Then he was planning to keep her for years, he's going to take other women, now go get him. Trot trot trot trot. Go get him. So first they sneak into the parking lot to at least confirm one of the accusations and they do see the gun in his car. Okay. So four cops walk out to the reception area and get the joy of telling him he's under arrest. He shits his pants. Aha, again, there's footage, it's a police precinct for Pete's sake. Thank you. I'll post it, nothing's better than that. Oh, gosh, I don't know what you're talking about. How'd you figure it out? Type of body language, like, probably, nah, that crazy bitch is always pulling that shit. She's always doing this, she loves me, we're just in a tiff right now. Right. Got no body language, what are you talking about officer? Yeah, a picture of like Pluto. Yeah, no, goofy. Thank you. Oh, there's the dog. Pluto. No, Pluto. Nellie's Pluto, Martin's goofy. But isn't Pluto kind of a dipshit? Kind of a goof? No, he's like, why would I not picture a goofy? God, I don't know. You're just a dog, just floppy ears. Get out of here. Thank you. The goofy is too. The goofy is a dog, yes. Yeah, yeah, okay. All right, well, whatever, either way, I picture my big glute. Okay, well. A big idiot. Well, Martin is certainly. Yeah, that's what I'm talking about, Martin. Oh, yeah. So on GV. No, no, Mickey Mouse is like, all right. I'm moving past it, I'm past it. So he, you know, I know, but once he's arrested, he very calmly explains everything exactly as it was. He wanted a girlfriend. They asked if the only way he could get a girlfriend was by kidnapping someone and he point blanks us. Actually, yeah, it is. And explains a urethra disfigurement of some sort. God. Which he's very insecure about as I need not tell you. Yeah. I don't know what his penis looked like, but yeah. I hope we never know. No, we'll never know. But he had surgery to try to fix whatever it was and it didn't work and Isabel actually noticed this on their first date and was taught early on by fellow escorts to if you see something, say something, make sure whatever it is is not an STI and STD, whatever. So she called him on it on night one. Oh, I bet that really pulled out the embarrassment cord. Yeah, yeah. Good. Good for her. She didn't mean to, but wow. Yeah. He explained that it was an injury from the military. Listen, none of this is Isabel's problem. It's not our problem. Get over it. Sorry, you're insecure. We all have our shit. It's not an injury from the military either. Don't try. You're not. No, we're not playing the war card. No, yeah. He told cops he was born with it. He had it his entire life. So we don't know what's true, but I think it's true. Or make up a war story before saying, yeah, of course. And they're like, either way, we find it hilarious. We don't give a shit about it. So anyway, what's your excuse for kidnapping and fuck off? Yeah. Again, not our problem, not her problem. Goodbye. While he's detained cops drive this six plus hours to the bunker. To confirm, obviously, Isabel's not lying. And of course she was not. One of the cops said he's never had that feeling before of being in a room. With absolutely no echo. Just completely quiet and still was a very eerie feeling. Yeah. They also go into his main house and confiscate. A lot of other things. His computer being one of them. And holy shit. What they found on there. No, thank you. He drafted up a contract. A girlfriend contract or a sex contract. And it is. Shit. So it's written in English. Possibly because he said he was pretending to be American. And it said he was planning to hold five guests total. Although a bunker specialist said there was enough ventilation for seven, which I'm like. People's jobs are so impressive. Oh yeah. It's like securely ventilated it enough. For seven people. And he thinks that Martin knew that. And he's like, well, I'm not going to be a good guy. I'm not going to be a good guy for seven people. And he thinks that Martin knew that because he is. Yeah. Whatever. So anyway, but the contract. Five guests total. At his farmhouse. The length of the contract was for 10 years. It required Isabel and any other girlfriend. He's take, he's taken my force to perform sexual acts, including vaginal. Oral both ways and French kissing. Loser. It requires them to have a naval piercing. Oh, Fucking loser. My God. It requires his prisoners. Isabel for now to have tan lines. Well, that requires the sun dick. What? Oh my God. How do you expect me to get a tan if I'm in a fucking bunker? He's the one yard that's fucked the fuck off. Yeah. He's the one that likes that playboy sticker on a tanning bed. Oh my God. Absolutely. This doctor. I just can't. T. T. T. T. T. T. T. T. T. T. T. T. T. T. T. T. T. T. T. T. T. T. T. T. T. T. T. T. T. T. T. T. T. T. T. T. T. T. T. T. T. T. T. T. T. T. T. T. T. T. T. T. T. T. T. T. T. T. T. T. T. T. T. T. T. T. T. T. T. T. T. T. T. T. T. T. T. T. T. to film and take photos whenever he wants. And this is again the contract. And they must send letters to relatives postmarked from Vegas or other cities where one might escape to. So they can tell them like, don't worry, I'm happy I'm living elsewhere. Then he has a section for a reduced hostage time. There will be a post-sams on that. Postmarked from Vegas. Yeah, that's what he said. Oh, they're already postmarked from Vegas. But to send them, you will still have to put them in your own like post master's hand. So like remember the that no, you can go to I don't know how they do in Sweden. But remember, you can and UPS you can go here for earmuffs for kids like from Santa can be postmarked from North, you know, shit like that. Then he has a section for reduced hostage time. Like he'll let her go one year earlier. If she does the following, Oh God, anal sex, swallows. Oh my God, breastfeeding. Excuse me. What? I hate them and fitness programs. I hate them so much. Oh, my God, you're gonna reach. Okay. And with rewards, obviously comes punishments. So attempting to escape will get her five more years of captivity. Refusing sex lands you 100 more days. Then there's a collective punishment clause for when he kidnaps multiple girls. Collective punishment works like this. Whoever steps out or, you know, gotten trouble gets the full punishment listed in this very legal document. And the other girls get half the punishment. So if a girl tries to escape, she'll get five years and the rest of the group will get two and a half more years. Good God. So they're like, my God, what a loser. The cops are like that. And obviously, and during their investigation, they asked Isabel if anyone else was ever in the bunker when she was and she said no. But here's the thing. Someone else's DNA was in there. What someone else has been in there before her? Oh, yeah. Martin implied something about Norway when he was being interviewed and the cops are like, wait, so you did this to someone in Norway. And he said, well, no, it was his plan to kidnap a girl kind of as a dress rehearsal, but it didn't get as far as quote the strawberries. His really cute way of saying I never actually got to drug her. He maintained that Isabel was his first, but that is absolutely not true. A science told us it wasn't right. Isabel was going through the crime scene photos and this documentary for the first time. Oh, no. Points out all of her clothes, which are perfectly laid out. You know, they like lay out every piece of evidence, take pictures. So she can clearly see her own clothes. Then there are several pictures of other women's clothes that are not hers. Oh my God. There were also pictures when investigators were searching as main house or the bunker. I don't know where they found them, but they found pictures of a known escort from London. And I don't know how they know this because it's part of, but this part was in the documentary and it said there was an escort from London who has flown to Oslo by Martin and he had all his equipment with them, the wheelchair, the mask, the IVs, etc. They believe she was actually the first victim kidnapped. So where he said he didn't use strawberries. Maybe that's true, but he did drug her. Yeah. And kept her down there for a certain amount of time. And for whatever reason, he wasn't pleased with her and let her go. They think this as far as, as far as I know, he's never admitted that, but they do think he let her go because there's not currently a missing persons report on her. I don't even know her name. There's not a missing persons report on her or a death certificate. So they think she's still out there. And she's just never come forward. She's like some crete. Yeah. What's his last name? Schoenberg. Okay. T-R-E-N-N-E-B-O-R-G. Okay. So now there are, there have been several girls who have been reported missing to this day without any resolution. COPS did a big investigation into Denmark, Norway and Germany, but nothing was found. There is suspicion though he murdered them and buried them somewhere. But again, I can't say that was certainty, but like, can't I? I think I can. Let's be honest. What's he gonna do? Heading to trial. He admits everything, but wholeheartedly denies the rape, which, oh okay. Bullshit. He told Isabel that's why he was taking the sheets. Like when she woke up, she's like, do you remember having sex? She's like, no. It's like, okay. I was just just wondering. But he said he had sex with her while she was unconscious. But to him, he doesn't count that because it's her line of work and she had been paid. Oh, okay. I'm sorry. Maybe I should be more clear. Drugging me first? That's a defense. Yeah. Give me a break. Drugging me first is a whole new fee. And that's based on whatever attorney you hire when I take your ass to court. Yeah. What are you talking about? Because aside from the obvious rape and Sweden, sex work is legal for the worker, not the buyer. You can sell sex, but you can't buy it. So I'm not sure why that charge was out. How does that work? It's the same with like DC. You can buy weed, can't sell it. So she can solicit sex, but the purchaser will be in trouble if they get caught. So I'm like, why is that charge tacked on? Okay, but if I was decriminalized? No, that's Australia. Oh, okay. Sorry. Sweden may actually be decriminalized. I don't think it is. No, no, it's just back then. Okay. Yeah. And it still is. I think I've Googled. I mean, I looked it up for, yeah, whatever. Yeah. So you can sell sex, but you can't buy it. So I'm not sure why that charge wasn't tacked on to him, but it wasn't nor was the rape, which is infuriating. God. Due to lack of evidence, they dropped the rape charge to Isabelle's dismay. Sure. He was sentenced to 10 years in prison for kidnapping and had to pay the equivalent of about $21,000 to Isabelle. And he was released in 2023 after eight years. Well, and his license, he cannot be a doctor. Okay. Okay. Thank God. No, he cannot be a doctor. But other than that, no life changing restrictions. He is a free man walking among humans under an assumed name and an undisclosed location. No, we're not undisclosed. What do you mean undisclosed? How would you say that? Come on, Internet. I knew it was going to be light. It's usually really light over there, you know? I was looking all over, like, I wanted to see what the Swedes comment or comments were on this case. And it's like common after comment being like, yeah, you get longer sentences for stealing Internet. Like it's a joke over here. I'm like, Oh, well, I didn't realize that. But I'm pissed that he gets an assumed name and an undisclosed location. And come on, Internet. We know where Carla Hamoka is, right? Yeah, really? Whatever her stupid new name is. Let's do the same for this asshole. Where is he? Where's the public embarrassed, Matt? Come on. I mean, what is he doing? Who knows? It's so creepy. Someone does not grow out of this. No, like he's doing this still. If there's a missing person in the track country area, go to this guy, wherever he is, honestly, where he is. Literally, he didn't even have to destroy the bunker. Nothing. He could have gone right back to his house. No, just lived a life accordingly. Bunkers still intact. Ew. I'm like, what? Excuse me. That is shocking to me. Yeah. Afterwards, Isabel said Nelly was never the same. She got extremely aggressive. And shortly after being rescued, she actually passed away. Which I can't imagine how devastating was for Isabel. Like, I know, oh my God, I mean, she's she herself suffered greatly, of course. The antidepressant she said was she was prescribed to didn't allow her to connect with her feelings at all. So she essentially became numb. So she hasn't taken those. She doesn't like those. She was given sleeping sleeping pills, but would occasionally wake up not knowing if she was actually rescued or if she was still in the bunker. Oh, yeah. Oh, in fact, her doing this documentary, which is called the bunker. Oh, and before I was going to say for his defense, remember earlier when I was like, he said he gave her enough Rohit Nall to sedate her. But I think that was for his later defense. I think that's probably what he pushed like, no, no, she was not unconscious. She sedated like she could have woken up and she didn't, you know, yeah, yeah, you course. So anyway, that's where that came from. Okay. So yeah, so Isabel doing this documentary and writing her book, which is called again, you are man was strictly to help her heal. The documentary was essentially her exposure therapy. You watch her look at these pictures for the first time, she sees the mass for the first time since trial, at least, and then she goes into the replica of the bunker. I mean, it's traumatic. She's tough. Wow. She's tough. She said she's trying to remove his power from her and free her. But it's a tough one to watch. It really is. She is very much still in it or was at the time this documentary was released. Like it's hard to imagine her like kind of like she says she was like Paris Helmets or Idol she love going out and shows like flashbacks of her and like this cute little pink dress and all like dolled up and like, I don't obviously know her but she just seems so different on this. Yeah. Yeah. Documentary like I'm like, I can you can tell she's definitely changed. Yeah. And though she's written this book is by Isabel Erickson. She is on this documentary Isabel Erickson. She's done a ton of interviews. Isabel Erickson is actually not her name. No one. Okay. Yeah. No one knows her real name. Okay. None of these names I've included in this case were real except for Martins. Yeah. If only we had the new one. If only we had his new motherfucking name. Oh, that's so horrible. I'm good for Isabel getting out there. That is my bad ass survivor story. Good for her of Isabel Erickson. Good for her. Fuck that guy. Okay. There she goes y'all. Sorry. She's gonna ditch us again. Y'all can talk shit. I'm left here to read the patrons by myself. Well, I'm sorry. It's not my choice. You know that love y'all. Shut up. All right. I am gonna shut up because I'm walking away.
