A 13-year-old girl is abducted as she walks from her bus stop to her home.
There, she is jumped by four men, dressed all in black. The men tape her eyes and mouth shut, throw her in the trunk of a car, and drive off. The teen is taken to a rural area 20 miles away, tied to a tree, and assaulted. The girl is left there, half-nude, but she manages to get away and seek help.
As police investigate, they find a plot planned by someone known to the girl. Her father's live-in girlfriend, who has been asked to leave the home. Police believe Sandra Garcia concocted the plan to scare her boyfriend's daughter into returning to live with their mother overseas.
