How tf do you kidnap/abduct someone in broad daylight, do evil shit to them & get only 6 years in prison? The judicial system is horrible!

“He was released after only six years for good behavior” What constitutes good behavior?! He wasn’t around any little girls in prison!

This has to be one of the most infuriating cases I have heard. 6 years? 6 YEARS?!

Disgraceful that his wife would provide a false alibi for him.

Wow so justice wasn't severed. She probably wasn't the first or the last child that man abused & left for dead. I don't believe we allow these evil people back into society.

Anyone who commits a violent crime should NOT be let out so easily. Especially when sexually assaulting a CHILD. Just disgusting! But we have people who grow "illegal" plants in their backyards locked up for life. Such an awful justice system we have. More needs to be done.

*I was abused my entire childhood by a family member and I didn't grow up hurting others! It made me more protective. They damn sure can't use that as an excuse! That poor baby. I guarantee you she was NOT his last victim!*

What a disgusting monster. He deserves to be put in a hole; without being rescued. This is why we need to bring back oubliette’s. In ‘83 I was locked away in a basement with 3 younger sibs. It was horrible and “unspeakable” things happened to us. We made it out. However, 2 of my sibs are dead now. Due to the torture we endured at the hands of our egg donor. Me and my only living sib, make sure to remind one another we are survivors. There were folks that could’ve helped, and didn’t. Always speak up if you suspect child abuse/neglect. Better safe then sorry

I hope that wife reaped all the karma she deserves for making a false alibi for that POS. What a horrid and pathetic woman.

Six years? ONLY SIX YEARS? I sincerely hope the public took on the vigilante role after he got released.

I appreciate that you guys respect the victims and not share the details of the attacks.

that wife has zero shame. Seriously she's as horrible as that monster, defending and being just an absolute protector to people like her husband is even worse than the perpetrator. ugh it's just disgusting to see their holding hands photos

“For good behavior” wow! This is why these animals do it again because they know “good behavior” will help them get out earlier so no serious consequences after they rob someone of their entire life. Sickening.

Anyone who even dares to touch a child deserves a fate worse than hell

6 years? Lori is lucky to be alive and will have years more of trauma than that. I’m so glad Lori is trying to help so many.

This whole video broke my heart but hearing her crying in pain after she was saved hit my in my chest and has me crying… hard. I’m a mother of toddlers and that is a pure “help me mommy I’m in pain” cry. It’s the type of cry that every parent knows because they wish they could just take the pain away from their baby and they can’t. The strength of that baby girl is absolutely mind blowing. I’m so proud of her and what she’s done with her life. She wasn’t bitter, she wasn’t seeking revenge or justice. She truly did not let him ruin her life at all. She won. ❤️

She really shows how amazing she is by trying to help all child abuse victims to end the cycle of abuse.

When I first heard about the sexual abuse in this video, I was scared. It’s one of my biggest cPTSD triggers, but I’m so glad I decided to sit through it. I related to a lot of Loris comments. She’s so insightful and I see a lot of myself in her. Thank you Lori. Thank you very much.

Unseen, dude I respect you! You show so much respect by NOT telling the details of the horrifically shitty stuff, but still telling the story. I am happy she's alright and the guy needed to be in there longer than 6 years honestly.

I remember this! I was 9, we lived 3 hours away in a small mountain town, and it was all over the news. My dad wanted to go to Denver to help look for her. My grandparents lived in Denver and would call my mom and give her updates on what was going on. She was so upset for Lori and her mother.

Justice is as much (if not more) about keeping the public safe from a known offender as it is rectifying a wrong and satisfying victims and the families. 6 years for violating a child and throwing her into a cesspool to die is the second crime covered in this story. Unfortunately, it's not unbelievable. I'm not surprised with the leniency one bit.

Mindboggling cruelty from that man to even think of dropping a small child down a 10 foot hole into a dirty toilet to die of starvation. An utter savage . And then we have the other extreme & beautifully gracious Lori wants to let this man know he matters in hope of healing his monstrous heart. Im so glad Lori was not left there to suffer unto death. Poor little child , her face is heart wrenching...

This story made me cry, get angry & then over joyed they found Lori alive. She is truly a survivor, amazing what she has accomplished after such a traumatic event. The empathy she shows is outstanding xxxx

Thank you, Unseen. For your amazing videos. They have taught me so much about the world we live in, and have helped me spot danger and be safer.❤

It is sad that every minute, childrens get kidnapped and killed. It shows how cruel humans can be :( my heart goes to all the parents who have lost their child and wishing luck for parents who are still looking.

I watch lots of true crime videos, and although many are heart wrenching, I don’t usually cry while watching them. Seeing 3 year old traumatized Lori laying in that bed crying, and seeing her parents hugging her again… made me sob. The things she has endured are horrific. So glad she has healed and is able to help so many people. What a truly incredible woman.

"I can barely remember" is a weird way to refer to your child's trauma

I'm so glad she survived, being only 3 at the time 🥺 poor little girl had to suffer because of such a monster

He had 48 years to 10 and got out for 6?! That is not okay that man deserves more.

I have tears pouring down my face. Lori you are my absolute hero, not only for surviving and helping to send this monster to prison but also because you have taken a god awful horrendously traumatic attack, something that so negative and turned it into an amazing positive. I have no doubt the amount of kids and their families have been impacted by what Lori is doing now. What an amazing human being Lori is. I'm so glad to have seen this story thank you. As for Robert, there is a special place in hell waiting for him that is extra hot but until you arrive there may you days be filled with the most horrible things that life could possibly offer, because Robert, you deserve nothing less.

This actually makes me sick. I don't care if the kidnapper was abused or sexually assaulted. There are two people in this world. Someone, who if they were traumitized, would help others because they don't want anybody else to go through what they have is a good person. Someone who would just pass on the suffering because they don't want to go through it alone is straight up evil.

Lori has so much grace. The world is blessed to have her fighting to turn everything around. Amazing child, amazing woman x

I can't believe the mother was so ignorant to his behavior throughout the years. I also can't believe the police didn't look into the tip a month ago with the license plate given to them. This all could have been avoided if the red flags were followed through.

Lori Poland is one of the most Extraordinary people I've ever heard of!! Her compassion and even concern for her own captor and abuser along with caring for other sex offenders is out of this world! She has a very very rare ability to Truly Forgive her abuser. We should all follow her example. What a beautiful and wise and encouraging woman she is! God bless you Lori ❤ Thank you for this incredible docu!!

I think an extra layer of sickness that people dont often think about is the fact that even if the kid is still alive, some pedophiles just get rid of them to find a new one. Like its one thing to take one kid and ruin their life, but to dispose of them for no reason and go after the next is just like an extra layer of vile.

This is one of the worst cases I've ever heard. There were so many moments when my heart and stomach dropped- only to hear a miracle come out of it, followed by another and another...The witnesses that were able to provide descriptions...first, half of the license plate, then, a grandmother provides the whole plate # thanks to her instincts a week prior. All hope seemed to fail upon finding out the sicko had driven 20 miles into deserted mountains, DROPPING this baby into an abandoned out house HOLE to slowly die in isolation, only to be found alive 4 days later by BIRDWATCHERS who needed a bathroom break on their way back down the mountain! I'd be so traumatized if I'd found a child like that- with sepsis over most her body. Yet again, Lori not only survives but THRIVES! She is my hero. She faced something so dark...its unfathomable. I firmly believe suffering - if you decide to use the bottom of that deep, dark pit to then kick off of, you will rise like you never knew possible. The cuts let the bad out so the light can shine in. Some never make it, but those who do grow strong and tall. This standing back up after the fall is what it's all about. Lori has done this more eloquently than anyone. The peace, strength, wisdom, love and light she has obtained from this battle is truly miraculous and its radiating from her. None of us have an excuse after hearing her story. Find the silver lining when you are lost in a sea of darkness. Focus on that light and love, embrace it, become one with it (again), and go forth to be a beacon of light for the others still stumbling in the darkness. Thank you for your light, Lori.

Resilience is such a beautiful thing. I'm glad Lori had the support she needed to become the admirable woman she is today

What an intelligent 3 year old. It's amazing (and sad) that the woman remembers all these details, too. I don't remember anything from when I was 3.

I can’t believe he got such a lenient sentence and his wife is sick!!!

I remember the feelings of horror throughout Colorado when this happened and I'm so glad to know that she was able to not only survive, but to learn & grow from her nightmarish experience. She is making a huge and positive difference in people's lives.

That girl is a bonafide angel🪽. God bless her. She is so far beyond the usual human. Its horrible but not very surprising that they let that monster out. I hope her response made him stop and realize he tried to kill an angel. She was protected and she has used that in astounding and amazing ways. She is beautiful. Thank you Lori. And thank you for the upload Unseen.🙏💞

Wow, I salute Lori Poland for being courageous despite everything that's happened to her. Her kidnapper is evil😖

Why didn’t that wife get charged with perjury- disgusting all around!

Justice might not help ptsd or the victim... but keeping him in prison is to stop him from hurting other kids.

Omg this is a miracle that she survived this horror and still have this positive mind today😞😖. Lori u are a true angel and I doubt it hasn't been an easy journey mentally and physically to come this far. But I am in total awe of you and bless you

I'm amazed that she took something so awful horrible and turned it into something good and helpful to humanity. What an incredibly beautiful example 👏 👏 👏

I could never be as understanding and forgiving as her. As a victim, I need justice. Everyone’s different, I guess.

When these kidnappers do these things the victims have to live with the scars for life and I cannot understand why we continue to let these monsters back out into society. You kidnap or murder someone or rape someone should just automatically get the death penalty

Justice may not have been necessary for her survival, but it certainly would have been helpful for his next victim. And there certainly was a next, probably multiple next victims. Absolutely sickening this poor little baby

And this is the difference between a cold case for 60 years and a solved case early. Lots of strangers and neighbours being perceptive and able to remember details of unusual goings on in their neighbourhood and working together to quickly obtain the evidence needed before it is lost. In that group its always extremely important to have investigators/detectives/police officers willing to take their job seriously, listen to the public and act on information. Something that rarely happens

Her mom was so happy she was found and I felt that 💕

Six years is crazy but I’m so glad she was able to heal as much as she could and all the good that came from it. You guys did an excellent job telling this story.

This is the exact reason why I live miles outside of any town with a half mile long driveway. Poor baby girl. Poor poor baby girl.

it’s impressive how much strength she has to be able to help people that actually perpetrate the kinds of crimes she was a victim of. personally, i hold on to a lot of rage from my own experiences, and i can’t imagine what she went through to reach this point in her life.

Amazing community of people back then. They paid attention, one dad going right after him at the school. Wuanita Zappa... same seeing the car, and got that tag. This little girl and woman now is very special.

What a horrific experience Lori had to suffer, but what an inspiration she became. Proof that putting the work into healing yourself can change your world, and in her case-the world of countless other victims. 💪💯❤️

It's amazing she can remember any of this ...she was 3...or maybe she's just repeating what she was told either way it's so sad 😞

This is unbelievable, and I'm surprised I've never heard of this story which is absolutely heartbreaking. Watch your children closely. There are monsters in this world. Truly evil people. I wonder what happened to the child molester, into the woman that gave him a FAKE alibi?! How shameful. For your husband to brutally assault a child, into stand with him? Something's just is wrong with that woman!!!

When she said she lived there... in the bottom of a fricken sewage pit... I couldn't image the feeling the couple had when they found a little girl 😭💔

It's uploads like this one that makes me love your content. I'm so glad I found you and please don't stop! I always click as soon as your notification appears! And await the next one!

I really appreciate the fact that you respect the victims and their stories and leave out the details of their abuse. ❤️

This case has absolutely resonated so strongly with me as a survivor. Thank you for covering Lori's story.

What a remarkable young lady! Just an incredible will to survive- her resilience is beyond comprehension 😮 ❤

Wow how disturbing what this woman had to go through at the age of three just makes me sick. So happy that she survived and she is a hero to do what she's doing now to help others is amazing❤

Wow, she is an amazing person!

Lori was just a young girl by the time this awful incident happened. I offer my condolences and sympathies towards her friends, family and relatives.

it's so beautiful that she can remain hopeful despite her circumstances. inspiring af

i got goosebumps 😰we are the same age and the fact that she remembers so well says something...when you hurt a child it will stay with them forever 😢 this guy deserves ...i wont say it here. Lori my love, you beat the monster ❤

See that's one thing I don't get about the cycles of abuse. If someone knows what it's like to have their innocence stolen from them at such a young age wouldn't they do everything they can so no one else has to experience the same? They know how horrible it is so how do they reconcile putting that horror on another child?

Thank you for covering lesser known cases... not the same ones that every other true crime channel is doing

Wow. This is so inspiring, thank you for telling the event from the perspective of the victim.

That poor baby. 😢 I am almost in tears, thinking about what Lori went through.

Just the idea of being 3 years old, suddenly snatched away from safeness, your parents, your complete understanding of the world and then its suddenly brutally destroyed. It is so utterly painful to think about. These poor innocent babies who have yet any grasp on the world or any capacity to protect themselves. There's no end to the intense horrifying pain humans can inflict on one another.

The strength Lori has is unimaginable... I'm praying for her and all victims, you are loved!! Love ❤️

This is so bloody horrific. I'm in tears of outrage. How that sweet, innocent little girl survived that is a pure miracle.

I thank you❤ i went through your pain. It’s so wonderful to hear your story. Keep up your work!❤🎉🙏🏽

Aw. I don't know how Lori is so positive and uplifting. She has amazing strength and kindness in her soul. She is to be admired by the way she did not give into the torture and pain her tiny little body went through in those horrific days. Some angel up above had to send that couple to that exact spot in time to save her. I cannot be as forgiving for the past childhood that I had. Which makes me admire others who have been violated by monsters and have the ability to forgive their actions. God bless you. From Ireland 🇮🇪

What an unbelievable story from beginning to end. She should be so proud of herself and how good her heart is ❤

I’m a survivor too and I’m sorry that whole speech about victims not needing justice as much as they need to have understanding and empathy for the perpetrator in order to heal made me want to puke. I’m sorry for Lori, and proud of her for every single way that she managed to cope. But you can’t make a generalization as horrific and wildly unacceptable as that and have not be impacting to the community of victims as a whole.

Another excellent retelling of a shocking true crime story Unseen 👏👏👏👏

I can't believe I've never heard this story! And she is a really great person!

I feel so much for that child. Man how worried the parents must’ve been. I can’t imagine either of their views in this. I’m happy Lori has been able to heal and find some peace, if even a little. I wish her the absolute best and a life long and full of so much love and happiness.

What an inspiration that Lori Poland is!!!! She has turned her tragedy into an incredible as well as aggressive campaign in stoping the ongoing further exploitation of children as well as increasing awareness of the physical and sexual abuse that children suffer from every day!!!! Keep kicking ass Lori Poland as your dedication is an inspiration to all but especially the poor victims of childhood abuse and trauma!!!

Thank you for these videos

What a horrendous story. A gorgeous little girl and now a beautiful woman. I hope she is managing her life now, is happy and has kind people around her. ❤️ 😭💐🩷

This is my worst nightmare. 😭😭😭

It's so brave of her to focus on solving the problem at it's very core. Instead of just holding onto anger, but actually trying to understand what caused the problem is a tough pill to swallow. I'm proud of her. On a side note: pit toilets definitely need better safety precautions. Those things have always freaked me out and left me wondering, "If I fall in there, how am I supposed to get out?"

My heart broke every minute watching this as I nearly got abducted not long ago.. I’m actually glad he chose me to be his victim that night but not to any other girl because I knew what to do

Ima TC stan but the details in this live horror movie shook me to the core! When the first thing he did b4 snatching her was remove her pants revealed his true depravity. Broad daylight, full of witnesses, yet he couldn’t even wait til she was in his van. That’s gotta be one of the scariest facts I’ve ever heard!

Deine Videos sind wirklich sehr gut, verständlich, auf den Punkt gebracht und gut recherchiert mit originalen Bildelementen und insgesamt in einer allgemeinen runden Darstellung wiedergegeben...kurz, bündig, wissenswert und informativ und interessant gemacht. Sehr gute Arbeit 👍✌️

Saddening!!! Truly saddening. I teared up a couple of times during the video. This was a story I had never heard of. WELL DONE!!! Congratulations to Lori and her surviving mentality!! Lori, your an ANGEL!!! HIGH 5!!! ✋🏻

What a brave girl she was .. this made me cry so much 😥

She is so inspiring!!

Yesss!! Thank you! Understanding my parents helped me more than anything.

Ur videos are so good I’ve learned so much And I know that I would watch out for this thanks

He's still out here somewhere!? Wtf! We need him off the streets! Or at least know where he is at!

Even if justice doesn’t help the victims psyche, the judicial system is still flawed because this person was released in 6yrs I highly doubt he ever changed his ways, he probably went out to commit more crimes on children because he already got away with it before so it’s no biggie for him to do these horrible crimes again and again.

Your channel and content is great, love your work!

Incredible documentary.

So what became of the perpetrator after he was released I wonder?
