“it is said that justice is the one thing that you should always find. And hopefully we will find justice soon. Just a few days ago in South Carolina, on an afternoon like every afternoon throughout America, school buses take children home, and this particular school bus dropped off a 14-year-old girl named Elizabeth near her home so she could walk through this rural place where she lived. Soon after getting off the school bus, though, she came in contact with a local villain. His name is Vincent Filyaw, 37 years old. He started talking to Elizabeth. He kidnapped her. He took her to the woods. He was posing as a police officer. And after he finally walked her around so she could be disoriented about where she was, he took her to a hole in the ground, 15 feet deep, where he kept her for 10 days. In this hole in the ground, the cover of it was a piece of plywood. Down in this hole he had a camp stove, he had another hole dug for a toilet, he had a shelf and some dirty cooking utensils. It looked like an underground outhouse. I have seen photographs of it. This was Elizabeth's dark dungeon of depravity for 10 days. He had booby-trapped this hole in the ground so that when he was gone, and if she tried to leave, it would blow up and kill her. When he was there, he abused her. He abused her as much as he wished. He had weapons. He had homemade grenades to protect himself from the police if they ever found him.”
