KIDNAPPED AT KNIFEPOINT, A YOUNG WOMAN OUTSMARTS HER ATTACKER

"48 HOURS LIVE TO TELL: I REMEMBER EVERYTHING"

SATURDAY, OCT. 25, 2014 AT 9:00 PM, ET/PT

Angela Rose was a typical teenager heading to a high school graduation party after working at a mall in the suburbs of Chicago. She never made it to the party. When she unlocked her car, a man pressed a knife to her neck and tossed her into his car. He drove off.

What happened next is every parent's nightmare. Angela Rose was kidnapped by a man with a long history of criminal acts, including murder. He didn't want her money. He wanted her. She recounts that horrifying night and her will to survive in 48 HOURS "LIVE TO TELL: I Remember Everything" to be broadcast Saturday, Oct. 25 (9:00 PM, ET/PT)
on the CBS Television Network.

Anchored by correspondent Maureen Maher, 48 HOURS "LIVE TO TELL: I Remember Everything" features Angela Rose's inspiring story as well as that of Delaney Henderson. While decades apart and separated by thousands of miles, these two women are tied together by having survived sexual assaults and who, by going public, hope to help others.

"I remembered getting this image of my mom getting a phone call that I had been murdered," Angela Rose says, recalling the day in 1996 when she was kidnapped.

Her attacker drove away from the mall with Angela Rose's wrists bound and her eyes covered with bandages. She tried to escape. It didn't work. He tightened the ties on her wrists. "That's when I realized this could potentially be the last day of my life, and that this guy might kill me."

Angela Rose, who doesn't use her last name today for privacy reasons, estimates they traveled for 45 minutes to an hour. Her tears loosened the bandages on her eyes, and she vowed to remember every little detail. If she lived, she says, the man would pay for what he was doing to her.

Eventually he stopped at a forest preserve. She imagined running away, only to think he'd catch and kill her. "I just decided to do whatever I could to get out of the situation alive." He asked Angela Rose her dress size and pulled out clothes from a cooler. "After he dressed me in this ridiculous satin clothing, I was sexually assaulted in the car."

Not knowing what would happen next was the most terrifying part, she says.

She lived, and tells her harrowing story of survival in LIVE TO TELL: "I Remember Everything." She also found a way to help others, including Delaney Henderson, a young woman from California who was sexually assaulted in 2011 by two schoolmates in her family home.

"I just remember feeling the guilt of, like, you know, this is my fault," Henderson says. "I can't tell anyone."

So she didn't, and lived for months with the painful memories of being attacked. Then someone called Henderson's mother, Kym Henderson, and said she had heard Delaney had been sexually assaulted. The Hendersons wanted to go to the police. But Delaney refused, fearing she would be further attacked - or even killed.

There's no handbook for these moments, Kym explains. "But I knew I had a major battle on my hands; I just didn't know how big it was going to be," Kym says.

One of Delaney's attackers was a popular athlete at her school. She was taunted by others at school who heard rumors of what happened at her home. She remained silent. Everything changed when Delaney learned that one of the men allegedly raped another girl.

"I can't even explain the amount of guilt I that I felt because I hadn't reported it and because I hadn't gone through with it and stopped him and - because I felt like I was, you know, too afraid to be able to stand up against him, and that he had gone and done it to another person," Delaney says.

She was so overwhelmed, she tried to kill herself. Could she overcome the pain and get justice for what happened to her?
