Man Enslaves Girls for a Year

Two girls, 16 and 19 years old, were found in the basement of a man in northeastern China. The two girls had been held captive for a year, chained by their feet. They tried to get help by writing emergency notes and sticking them in places like trash bags that would be taken outside.

Eventually they were discovered after they stuck a note into a broken television that a repairman found. The note indicated one girl's father's contact information as well as the captives' location. When authorities found them, they were less than a quarter of a mile away from one girls' home.
