Alicia Kozakiewicz
Alicia Kozakiewicz left her Pittsburgh home on New Year’s Day in 2002 to meet someone who she had been chatting with online. Kozakiewicz was 13 years old then, and she thought the person who she had been talking with was the same age as her.
Instead, she had been talking to Scott Tyree, a 38-year-old man who abducted her and kept her chained in his Virginia home for four days where he beat and raped her.
