David Leggat
David Leggat had gone to the men’s room at the Woodside Bowling Club in Aberdeen, England. But when he tried to leave, he noticed that the door’s hinges were jammed. He didn’t have a cell phone either. So, he spent four days trapped in the bathroom and drank tap water from the sink. Eventually, a cleaner heard his pleas for help and had club secretary Bob Ewing unscrew the door open.
Elizabeth Smart
In 2002, Brian David Mitchell broke into a home and abducted 14-year-old Elizabeth Smart at knife point. But Smart’s younger sister pretended to be asleep when the kidnapping occurred and she recognized Mitchell as the family’s handyman. So, a nationwide search ensued. Everyone was desperately looking for the young little girl. Nine months later, someone spotted Mitchell and Smart in public and he was arrested. Smart was then reunited with her family in 2013. She went on to write two incredible books. “My Story,” and “Where There’s Hope: Healing, Moving Forward, and Never Giving Up” which she released in 2018.
