In 1977, a 21-year-old missionary of the Mormon church (the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints) turned to police for help. The young man was distressed and said he had been abducted by a woman who had previously been a beauty queen.

What the man told police

According to the missionary, the abduction took place near a church. The woman took him to her home and chained him to a bed. He alleged that he was raped over the course of three days.

He told police that he managed to get away only after promising his captor that he would marry her.

What the source does not say

The available material does not say how police responded to the complaint. It also does not say how the woman answered the allegations or how the case ended. The claims therefore reflect only the missionary's own account.
