Missing Girl Escaped from Captor's Hole

"His eyes are on the ways of men; he sees their every step. There is no dark place, no deep shadow, where evildoers can hide. God has no need to examine men further, that they should come before him for judgment." (Job 34:21-23)

A girl missing for 10 days was found by police in a 15-foot-deep plywood-covered hole in the side of a hill in South Carolina, only about a mile from her house. What is amazing is that the girl sort of rescue herself. While her captor was sleeping, the girl used his cell phone to send a text message to her mom. She described being kept in a hole close to home and detailed how to find her.

Her mom said the hole was only one mile down the road. Her captor was very calculating. Posed as a police officer, he lured the girl into the woods. Although the teenager was suspicious, she went with him because he said her little brother would be harmed if she did not go with him.

He probably thought nobody would ever find him and the girl. But evil cannot hide forever.
