VACATION NIGHTMARES: WHEN TERROR STRIKES
On today's show, we'll meet guests whose lives have been turned upside down when terror struck during their vacations. Glen decided to take to the open road on his motorcycle from California to South America in search of adventure. His joyride was cut short when Columbia's rebel ELN Army kidnapped him. How did Glen's "do or die" attitude keep him alive throughout his month-long ordeal? Darla and Jerry planned to sail for two years throughout the Pacific Ocean. They were swept up in a horrible storm and their boat was left adrift with no power for over two months. Finally they shipwrecked on an island where the natives held them under horrible conditions. They found one person on the island who spoke English and helped them find safety at a Mormon ministry on Christmas Island. Darla's sister Kim feared the worst after not hearing from her for months. She has not seen Darla since her ordeal. Watch as Montel reunites them for the first time on our show!
