Girl Missing For 10 Years Allegedly Locked In Bedroom
Link

McKEESPORT, Pa. -- A McKeesport teen who disappeared in 1996 has been found.

Tanya Kach, now 24, was 14 when she disappeared on Feb. 10, 1996.

That was the last time she was heard from, police said.

Ten years later, officials said that Kach was found in McKeesport -- the very city from which she vanished.

The girl had been going by the name "Nicky Evans," Channel 4 Action News reporter Kelly Frey said.

According to Frey, the man who found Kach is the owner of JJ's Deli Mart in McKeesport. Joe Sparico said that for the past seven months, Kach had been going to his deli and befriended him.

On Tuesday, Sparico said Kach came into his deli and told him she had something to tell him.

He said Kach told him that she had been using an alias -- that her name is Tanya Kach.

Kach said she was held captive, locked in a bedroom at 1002 Soles St. in McKeesport, Channel 4 Action News reporter Sheldon Ingram said.

It's the home of 47-year-old Thomas Hose -- a house he shares with his elderly parents.

Kach said after four years as a captive, she was allowed to venture out of the house.

Kach said, "Don’t you abandon me," Sparico said.

"She said, 'If you go on the missing children Web site, you'll see my name on there.' And I just couldn't believe it," Sparico said.

Tuesday night, Sparico checked missing persons reports and located Kach, and then called McKeesport police.

"I feel so bad for the family. I feel so bad for Nicky. She lost her childhood," said a neighbor on Soles Street who said she visited with "Nicky" almost every day. "She would leave about 3:15 p.m. because Tom got home after work."

When asked if Kach gave any indication that something was wrong, the neighbor said, "She cried a lot. She cried at Christmas. She said she missed her family, but she didn't know where her family was.

About 5 p.m. on Wednesday, Hose showed up with his attorney at county police headquarters.

WTF?

That is a serious WTF right there.

Brainwashing ? What would make her stay ?

No windows? She was allowed to venture out, and she stayed there?

Maybe after 4 years she got the Stockholm syndrome... but still, that's fucked up.

If they need someone to pull the trigger on that fucker, I'll volunteer.

And this wouldn't have given you a 'WTF? moment'?

That poor girl.

There are some people in serious need of getting their heads ventilated.

Truth is stranger than fiction.

This is like that Jessica Smart (?) story where she actually stayed with her captors even though she clearly could've gotten away. there is definatly some weird psychological thing going on here. Every once on a while you hear about wierd stories like this. This guy must've been the best "jailer" in the world. How do you keep someone in a house for four years without letting them escape? Even jails have escapes and what not. I think there is a streak of masochism in the vistim for this to happen. Like they wanna be "slaves" or something. Mondo bizarro!

I understand that a lot of that control comes in the form of "you love your parents/siblings right?..well, if you leave I will kill them..." and the kid is so scared they stay.

Wild.

Unreal.  How does one not notice?  I hope everyone in that house is charged.  That is just fucked up.

Actually I posted something along those lines a couple of weeks ago but I couldn't go into details.

Here's an idea.  Use a shotgun, but only load it with bean-bag rounds.  Keep shooting until important body parts start breaking.  Then shoot some more.

Not a good idea.  They CAN actually enter the body.  I know an LEO that shot a man (a few times) with bean bags and after the autopsy, they found one of the bean bags lodged in his midsection.

The dude who did this to her should meet Bhudda and be enlighted as to his evil ways.  In short, it's called Rehabilitation Through Reincarnation.  Anybody willing to volunteer to help him on his first step?

No.  Castration via cheese grater, then leave him to bleed out.

And that's a bad thing because...  

It's the home of 47-year-old Thomas Hose, a security guard at Cornell Middle School. He shares the house with his elderly parents.

The bastard worked at a school but the article didn't say if she attended the school he worked at. Your children aren't safe anywhere these days, never know where one of these predators is lurking.

That's some creepy shit.

That article is one of the craziest things I have ever read.

He locked her in a bedroom?  And left her there unattended?  I'm pretty sure she could have broken through the drywall in about 3 minutes max.  Maybe she was tied up to begin with?  That's the only possible explanation for why she didn't escape in short order if she wanted to.

Obviously a case of Helsinki Syndrome, as in Helsinki, Sweden.

So upon what was the police afidavit based? The statements of the kidnapped girl, or the wishful retelling ot the tale by the kidnapper/suspected murderer?

There are more ways to imprison someone than just using chains.

There are some people that just need killin.

If you're talking about the phenomonon of a hostage becoming sympatheic towards their captors after some period of captivity, it's STOCKHOLM syndrome.. As well, Helsinki is the capitol of FINLAND.......but good efforthinking.gif
