“You’re gonna pay for this”
On May 1st, 2001, 11 YO Leah Henry is dropped off by her school bus less than a mile from the safety of her house, but as she starts her walk home, a car suddenly drives up to her and parks, blocking the road. Unbeknownst to her, Leah is about to be kidnapped by one of Texas’ most notorious serial predators, but she will also be known as the girl who outsmarted him using her wits, and even her camera, and ultimately, took him down for good.

I was kidnapped when i was 5. Long story short i ended up escaping and i can remember seeing my parents and my family and how relieved they were. It's not funny but my dad and 4 uncles were able to get to the guy before the cops and they crippled him, he was a giant man so don't feel bad that he never walked again, the courts didn't do their jobs because the guys family was longtime friends with the judges family and he only got 3 months, but he never walked again and never touched another kid. My dad & uncles are still my heroes.
3 months !!?!??!
I almost want to say you’re lying that doesn’t make a lot of sense
@@Prettyfacetash321 you'd be surprised what happens in little towns. It is totally possible, especially if the kid was a boy and I think the commenter is male.
@@jamielee7404what does that mean
Ó is o
leah was such an intelligent girl for keeping track of what he was doing to her, i hope her family is doing great
I beg to differ!! After you are told not to talk to Strangers, you get into a vehicle with one!!!🤔Thank God she survived👏That Monster ped needed to lose his Life after the ordeal he put Children through.😢
Absolutely incredible that she had the mind to do that! She's an inspiration and so strong!
@@rachielg1 she was a child.. as a 10 year old in the 90’s (i can only assume) it was less taught to assume the worst
@@rachielg1try reading the whole comment
Not really she got into the car
How anyone could harm a child is beyond my comprehension.
exactly. think about if the kidnapper was the child instead!
Read the Bible Jesus warns against hurting children
@@veganskeletons4131I really can’t imagine hurting anyone. Unless I had to defend myself or my family. But the last persons I could hurt is children. No way. They should be protected at all cost.
@@QUEENBEE200384 that's why i think it's irresponsible to send children to school in these dangerous times. All children should be homeschooled
@@veganskeletons4131 Yes he does
I really enjoy these survivor stories. Not the fact that they’d been traumatized, nobody should experience things like that ever. But hearing _how_ these babies escaped their kidnappers and how they outsmarted them. I’m so happy Leah came home. Her family seems so wonderful. ❤
Absolutely 💯
It's bad enough to be a victim of kidnapping but to fight to survive & save other lives of potential future victims... She's a true hero 💪🫶🩵
Leah I feel your pain I had years of torture at the hands of a stepfather I'm 67 years old now this one on from the time I was five until I was 13 and ran away I hope you're able to reconcile that this was done to you by a criminal not somebody in your family. Things that happened to us when we are young whether they're really really good or really really bad stick with us for the rest of our lives like they happened yesterday I might not remember what I had for breakfast 2 days ago but childhood trauma really never goes away completely
@@moonlitegirl72were you able to live a normal life? I've had terrible things happen my entire life and I'm finding it hard to adjust to normal life. I live with family thank goodness and I'm safe now. But I constantly putting off going to school and getting a proper career
@@LilyFlowers-hh3sc yes I went on to live a normal life just had the scars from my childhood but smart enough to realize not to let it define married my childhood sweetheart we had two children Jason and Christina born in 72 and 74 I raise them like the mom I wish I could have had when you get a chance to do that it really does help heal your soul in 2006 I lost my daughter to colon cancer which had metastasized to her lymph system. I think that's the worse pain, losing a child. Still have my boy though he is in Maine opened up his own Mobile welding call Simmons welding and fabrication. My daughter had went to college she did her first two years at Rick's in Rexburg and then finished off at BYU she worked in the radiologist department running the c-arm which is a portable x-ray machine I always wondered if working with that was why she developed cancer
@@moonlitegirl72 wow. That's awesome. Quite an inspiring story. Thank you for sharing. I'm thinking of radiology myself. Take care. ☺️ And I'm sorry for the loss of your daughter. RIP
This poor child trusted an adult bc he was like a dad and this disgusting predator manipulated that. That’s evil
My heart broke when she said "dads are okay"
I don't understand how parents don't teach their children not to talk to strangers not to trust people.How come they don't show them the type of things that could happen to them.These parents just throw their kids to the wolves.
Yeah. Such a sad excuse for a human being. Doing these unspeakable things to children nonetheless.
@@monejohn9973 It was 2001. It was a different time. It was safe, dare I say ten times more safe than current day USA for kids to play outside. The kids are probably raised around other adults and neighbour and they got used to adults. How about instead of blaming the parents, you blame the predator? Not a single word I see from your comment denounce the predator but all of them corner parents. No matter, even if parents had to take responsibility for such cases of kids trusting strangers, it shouldn’t be even a quarter as the predator’s fault. Fix your attitude.
@@rachelciel3330 It's never a different time. Dad screwed up.
What an amazingly strong and intelligent girl.
Leah saved so many children from being hurt by this beast .
She’s a true hero.
Actually, the person who brought down this vile man was the person who called the cops and said the vehicle he was driving looked like the one in the news reports. Leah was very determined and courageous, but she wasn’t the one who “brought hum down.”
They are not beasts, their demons
This is incredible. You hear of abductions, but rarely that they return alive. Gives hope that anyone out there in this situation could possibly have a happy ending too. Educating children of the things that can be scary in the world is something that's hard to do for a parent, but it is 100% necessary, it can be the difference of life or death. So happy of the outcome and so much respect for the officer that found her. Stay safe! ❤
You're wrong MOST times they are returned safely. It happens far more often than not. By over 90 percent. Well over. Sorry to bum you out by speaking the truth.
@@Wisteria337not sure where you got that from but at least in the us that is not true. Statistically every hour the child is missing decreases the chances that they will return alive.
@@Justaperson354 Yeah that person is saying most abducted children aren't murdered which is just logical.
I can't understand people who do things like this to children. It's so sick. I'm so glad she survived and became a strong and successful young woman. My heart breaks for what she and the other girls went through.
I can't understand people who do things like this to anyone...
@@evled8519 yes but at the end of the day , a child doesnt even know what sex is , they arent even able to give consent if they "want to" at least with an adult there is a possibility that they could consent but these perpetrators pursue kids who they know full well cannot consent and that anything that may happen between them will be a vile disgusting inhumae crime against someone who has next to no chance at fighting back or even knowing how to try escape
@@tt4days346 violence is violence. No mater the circumstances
Some missing don’t end up successful and choose crime.
@@evled8519 Definitely NOT the same when it comes to Children Especially sexual violence !!
you have to be the lowest of human beings for harming a child. Children are so innocent and precious...
Some kids are devils lol
Just like the Democrats wanting to do this to unborn children. I also do not get it!
Not the lowest kind of human being... monsters
Except the ones who aren't.
Like the iDf.
the manipulation of the kidnapper showing leah the newspaper that her family is searching for her but telling her that they will give up is so sick and devastating. also leah describing how she felt while looking at her sister's face in the newspaper was so impactful and you could clearly see from her sister's face that it was just full of determination, sadness, hope, everything... that rlly hits deep.
It's an insult to fathers everywhere that that monster would pretend to be a dad.
What a survivor…. To recover from just the physical part can be a lifelong struggle. Add the mental anguish, it’s unbelievably difficult. Leah is so brave. My heart breaks for Leah, aches for her loved ones. 💔
yes she has a long road of healing ahead of her. the healing is just as hard as the actual event. but she has a strong father to help her through it.

Hi "I Hate All...", I agree with much of what you said, but it seems like Leah got the message that the theft of her innocence WAS NOT HER FAULT, and she seems pretty strong mentally/ emotionally. I think that that self-blame is what makes recovery so difficult for so many. The only thing Leah was guilty of was innocent trust of a "dad"... Leah impressed me with her "groundedness", and strength. She's a quiet warrior! Anyway, Cheers!
@@ihateallyall I agree but her father is white. Not sure if he is her real father.
@@jaysmith179He may not be her biological father but he is her REAL father.
She’s a testament to that gut instinct, the inner strength that says “I can get through this, I’m gonna survive ..”
She’s both heroic & very smart. She didn’t let that scumbag turn her into a victim, & the strong familial love she knew awaited her played a huge role in her decision to make it out alive. I hope she’s gonna have that happily ever after future that this video seemed to infer. What an experience. (Life is tough, it’s even tougher when you’re stupid ; said John Wayne) They were right to say the scumbag took the cowards way out.
Shes a marine biologist now ❤ I hope the worst is done for her. I was amazed she thought of using her camera just in case a police found her. i just really hope the 24 hr wait is reduced to lesser time so that the exits of the state can be checked point. Even if only for kids cuz 24 hours the kidnapper is definitely already gone and probably doing the unspeakable thing already.
damn that's the only person I've seen that's dreamt of being a marine biologist and actually became one. Survivors are truly built different.
I think going through something that horrible might motivate you more to becoming your dreams

@@EllaBella-76 No, sadly, he's a man. Animals only attack when they need to -- from hunger, or fear, or competition for food, territory or a mate. It's impersonal. They don't hurt anyone just for the pleasure of hurting them.
Whats so hard about becoming a marine biologist, not exactly informed on that. I assume it takes a long time to get a degree in, or its hard to find jobs with your degree?
@@Charlie-hv3dh My cousin is a marine biologist, and I watched him through school. He's brilliant, but it was difficult anyway. It's a PhD field, so yes, it does take a long time and a good original research dissertation in order to get your degree. After that, it isn't too hard to get jobs, but that's because relatively few people actually get the degree qualifications in the first place, and there is more need for these scientists than there are qualified scientists to do the work. Like most hard sciences, it takes both natural talent and many years of hard work in order to get that doctorate, and a lot of people who start the process fall away before they finish, and go do something else.
I'm glad Leah survived. We don't always get happy endings when it comes to kidnappings. I wish her and her loved ones all the best❤️🙏
That bastard coward! Thank goodness she survived and she had the strength to go on. She really did over come the worst. Good luck to her.
She proved she is a million times braver and tougher than he ever would’ve been ❤
Wow that Dad was running with a mission to get to his daughter. You go DAD!
The lasting trauma, nightmares, and lack of trust, that these girls will go through for the remainder of their lives, is immeasurable!
That's what's so sad. She is traumatized for life and while she has moved on the trauma will linger.
Especially when theyre just kids when things happened. It stays with you, the trauma and the fear. I hope every victim can someday have a total peace in their life.
What presence of mind 11-year old Leah had during her stolen innocence.. I am SO happy that this story has a "happy" ending. NO CHILD (or anyone else) deserves to have such evil happen to them.
Like ALL bullies, that "man" was a coward at heart. This ordeal had me in tears, and I sincerely wish all of the family - especially Leah, the very best that life has to offer, for their remaining years. Respect, Leah!
"The very best that life has to offer"
This is what life did to her. Life and the universe obviously give zero fucks about us.
I hear ya, bro, but let's STILL send her every good wish - she (and ALL who have suffered such evil) surely DESERVE some wonderful things coming their way. BTW, I've suffered all sorts of sh*t in MY life, too, but still hold a teensy hope of good coming. Best wishes to you/ yours!
(PS - learn of "loosh"/ "lauch" energy rape and the evil f*cks who run this matrix world, and the evil makes MUCH more sense...)@@TheFracturedfuture
So sorry she met a monster. Leah is an incredible inspiration. I wish her all the happiness in the world x
Amen! ❤
She is so intelligent and brave. Many adults wouldn't think to take notes and photos of the scene and details of her ordeal like she did. By keeping her senses and not becoming hysterical I believe she saved her own life and future victims. She's still helping others by sharing her story. An inspiring young woman.
Hearing that brave little girl's father healed something in me. My parents blamed me as a young child and never talked to me about sexual abuse. Spent years in abusive relationships. What you do as a parent matters. These parents loved her and that heals others to hear about it.
What a gutless coward, to hurt a Th young girl like that is an absolute gutless Coward.
This is a story about an abduction and a survivor that is too rarely told…..thank you for getting it out there
Kudos to that Sheriff. What a great officer. Followed his gut and prioritized Leah.
Both the sheriff and Leah were amazing. He handled himself very professionally and did everything right. She took all those photos and kept her composure the whole time to survive. Smart little girl and smart sheriff. They must have a very special bond. ❤❤❤
Leah looks stunning and her empathy and love for the family makes her more beautiful. Leah’s bravery is amazing. She’s a living heroine.
Tragic story. She moved on and found happiness. A beautiful soul. A survivor
What an amazing wee girl she was and an amazing woman she has become. To not only survive but find peace and a fulfilling life is just so heart warming.
For an adult, we would recognize what is about to happen. A child would have no idea and thats so horribly sad. This act of violation so severe and have no words for it at that time. I couldnt imagine being invovled in this situation as a parent or a victim. Its hard to understand why someone can do something like this.
This woman is amazing. After what she went through at such a young age to take her life back and not let this man and his evil ruin her life by remaining a victim of what he did to her is truly inspiring and that is the true success of this awful story. Good for her.
She's so incredibly special. Not everyone is built like her and I wish they were.
I hate that this kind of evil happens to far too many children, and adults. Hopefully, hearing that people like Leah survived & have found a way to be happy & live a fulfilling life will help give some of them hope that they can too
It's not often we get survival stories when a child is abducted, so I'm thankful to hear one today. Bless her sweet heart for all she endured but thank heavens she is alive and safe today. ❤
Leah saying she wanted her family to look for her but also didnt want them to hurt made me ugly cry. Leah is so so strong and i hope she has happiness.
It’s a miracle she was rescued. Parents don’t let your kids outside by themselves. You have to keep your eyes on them at all times.
I usually don't really like true crimes but I appreciate how these videos celebrate the cunning and strength of the victims instead of sensationalizing the riminals.
A marine biologist! Wonderful! What an amazing woman!
Don’t leave your children unattended no matter what.
13:50 To see her dad still so broken after all of these years truly saddens me.😔 Daddy’s are our protectors. I hope he realizes that none of this was his fault. The disgustingly sick, demonic predator is where the blame should NEVER shift away from! I’m certain the horrible memories feel like yesterday to this beautiful family. I’m so sorry you all had to endure this. I hate predators.😭😭 I’m just happy she survived & was able to move on with her life successfully. Sending love & light to everyone this demonic entity has ever hurt.❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
Such a close knit community. The pilot offering to fly the family was heartwarming.
Can you imagine the happiness in Leah's parents and friends. No matter what happens she's alive. That's all it matters. Love this awesome story and the celebration of returning back. Good luck and GOD bless forever.
This is the reason why I drive my daughter to school and pick her up also. ( It was a different world back then, a trusting world but today we know better! )
I'm so happy Leah was able to overcome the trauma this monster forced upon her & she was reunited with her loved ones!
Shine on Leah your a star ⭐
Im a grown man this got me in tears u can't write this for a movie she grew into a a beautiful young woman
What does being a grown man have to do with anything? Men cry, just like everybody else.
My daughter is named Leah. We are from Kerrville. This could have been one of my girls. Leah, we are so proud of you. You will forever be in my prayers. ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
Such a brave little girl. Not only her, but all of his other victims. Her dad was also such a sweetheart. He was beyond happy to know his daughter was alive.
God bless the sergeant for finding her.
Such a brave girl. Thank God she survived. I always tell my son idc how much someone says if you run they will hurt me or the family, you better run at every chance you get! I hate how disgusting monsters will use that to scare a kid into listening and not fighting for their life
She is one of the most beautiful women on the planet. Inside and out. She outsmarted that bastard and deserves every accolade. Leah, you are an amazing soul!!
That girl just gives me hope for anyone who is in that situation I watch this UA-cam channel every time they upload and it just gives me the chills how easy it is to get kidnapped god bless this girl and her family
I'm really happy for Leah and her family that she is safe and sound after such an ordeal! She was so brave and resilient when recording all the details and gathering evidence of the crime to help her case if necessary. Thankfully the predator is death so unable to commit more crimes!
Good thing the sheriff decided to approach the car. Otherwise, this could have turned out very differently. This story was both sickening and heartwarming. To see the love of that father for his daughter and her love for her family was a beautiful thing. 💜 To watch her hug the sheriff who saved her brought a tear to my eye.
The best stories are the ones that end like this. A beautiful successful young woman who survived the horror and didn't let it ruin her life or define her. Great video from Unseen.
"The best stories"
The best stories are when little kids aren't kidnapped.
That’s really shitty to say. As if the ones who have trouble afterwards are bad and should get it together and “raise above it”.
Shasta Groene was kidnapped and raped by Joseph Duncan. He also killed her 2 brothers, mother and stepfather. She was found alive in an IHOP after convincing him not to kill her. She was then sent to live with her biological father and stepmom who abused her. She has had a VERY hard life since and as an adult. She’s been arrested, been addicted to drugs and alcohol, had her children taken… and guess what? She is STILL just as admirable as this girl. She is STILL just as brave and a survivor.
It’s disgusting for you to say “I like the ones who raise above being kidnapped and raped the best!” Well, fck you. You can’t imagine what something like this can do to someone. Shame on you. There’s much better ways to word your comment but people like you just love putting your damn foot in your mouth, be better.
She’s grown into such a beautiful young lady! I’m so happy you’ve survived this ordeal.
This series is SO well done. I don’t miss a single one.
I love your content sm! And there are so many cases with satisfying endings, something you don't see enough in TC channels. Also the research is always so complete, and I love how narrated everything is instead of just listing facts and such! Amazing as always!

Omg she was so brave and so smart for only being 11. She saved herself with sheer and utter bravery and determination ❤
Oh my god honey, you are the strongest survivor I’ve ever heard of! I’m so proud of you Leah. I can’t imagine what you went through being so young.
I went through something similar when I was 24, but I knew my captor. I only escaped because he had taken a bottle of antidepressants by the end of it and became to unsteady to st@b me, missing me with every swing until he dropped and lost consciousness. He received 50 years in prison.
I know how much it’s affected me, happening to me as an adult. But I cannot handle hearing children going through this. I’m glad I stuck with it to listen to your story though because you have inspired me so much. I wish you all the best in life. Much love to you Leah.
That’s absolutely terrible. I’m so glad he was punished and you escaped, and hope you’re better now.
What a hero this little girl was! And now as a woman she is truly admirable!
I was kidnapped at 15 with another girl my age (my friend) as we were walking in a neighborhood. After 4 or 5 hours and unspeakable acts we were dropped off on the side of the road miles away. He was never caught.

DNA
I hope you are ok
@@LeeLee-tw2wo 1989 DNA wasn't being done and the statute of limitation ran out after 8 years.
@@GLITTERandSKULLZchances are the kidnapper went down for something similar. Most of them do. So it's highly probable he's dead or in prison.
I remember this case because of the second victim Lisa. She was taken from the town I am from. Also, her step father worked with my mother. Her kidnapper left her with a bus ticket to get home. She had to switch buses in New Orleans so she asked someone about what bus. I think she was missing 2 weeks at that point. The sorrow for her did not stop there. About 18 months later her step father was arrested for molestesting Lisa. I never knew what happened with the case against him.
That was horrible. :(
💔
Aman tanrım bu cok korkunç Allah belasını versin böyle insanların
i feel so bad for the dad :(((
What an emotional story! I’m so glad this had a happy ending.
We found her, she’s alive! WOW that must have been the most amazing sound in the world! Leah is an absolute beast of a woman! So proud of her ❤
I’m so sorry for this family
I'm so happy she made it out of that horrible situation safely and thank God for that deputy. She's the hero of her own story and o hope she has kept in contact with the deputy that drove her outta there.
Love this story, its conclusion. It made this 71 yr old man's eyes LEAK for sure. The coward took his own life. This is TEXAS we do not put up with that CHIT. ty for the Story little girl was very smart, like she had help from above. You could tell by her thoughts and plans of what to do... cannot imagine, her dad broke my heart..... there is good in the world, and good people, but there is an evil if not restrained would destroy the earth, if it was allowed. From SE Texas Bear a Tx lifer :)
Poor girl! I’m so glad she’s ok!!!
What a happy story. So brave and then not allowing this cruel awful incident to ruin her life. Very very pleased for such a strong little girl. Have the very best life now.
Thank you for being so brave, glad you were back with your family once again
Leah was so brave and intelligent, and she's right that criminal should've faced justice and received the very harsh consequences of his actions and not taken the easy way out
Meant eternal hell !! Not he'll
What a nightmare for Leah and her family! I can’t imagine what it must be like to learn that your kid is missing! I m happy Leah is safe and has turned into a confident young woman! He stole her youth, but didn’t steal her strong spirit and courageous nature! I’m also happy that he can no longer hurt anyone!
LEh you are so brave! to narrate this horrifying tale. The officer who found her is God sent. Leah cant thank you enough for sharing so nobody else goes through this or knows how to handle it. God Bless you are so intelligent...because of which you survived, Kudos!
Poor babies. I'm so sorry that any child has to go through things like that. There shouldn't be monsters like this alive. I don't know why they don't put them away for longer. I'm so glad you're still here with us. I'm so happy you had so much determination and strength. Thank you to everyone in the community that worked to get her back and gave her support
Thank you for sharing your ordeal and how you managed to mentally prepare yourself to survive. Society sometimes forgets that these monsters live amongst us. We all need to be on guard and train our children to be wary of people and be ready to defend themselves for any abduction or assault
God bless you, Leah! You are amazing and I am so proud of you!
Wow!! Such a strong child who has grown to be an even stronger woman. God bless her, her family and the other victims.
What a brave, intelligent young lady. I commend her parents for doing whatever they did to help her heal from this horror and to go on to live out her dream. ❤
😮
And this courageous young girl is a survivor not a victim
Keep shining sweetheart ❤
One smart and brave girl.
The way she was scared to be found is even more heartbreaking.
Made me cry. I'm so glad she's ok.
What an extremely bright, smart, brave and courageous little girl at age 11. Amazing!
God bless you Leah, and all the other girls that were kidnapped and so severely abused. 🙏🌹❤️
Wow!! What an amazing story!! And an amazing young lady ❤ I'm so glad UA-cam recommended your channel!!
You do an amazing job of telling these stories and you are very pleasant to listen to. Thank You So Much ❤
Wow, such a brave, emotional story, got me tearing up at my desk. Hands down one of my favorite channels here on youtube!
Leah, you are the definition of resilience. You’re a survivor & I wish you happiness, peace & so much love 💕
I am in awe of how smart Leah was to document and take pictures. She was 11 and going through the most horrifying thing imaginable yet she still thought to do these things. What an amazing kid! I'm so glad she got away and I hope she found peace. What an evil world we live in.
Amazing strong little girl. How wonderful to see she is happy and filled her dream. Many blessings to her
Such a strong young lady! We need to teach all our kids how to deal with difficult situations, especially involving irrational people.
She was so young and yet so brave. I wish her nothing but the very best in life!!!
What a smart girl, documenting all that she could and getting back in the zip ties before the kidnapper returned. At 11 I wouldn't have been that brave or smart.
Thank God she is alive and doing well.
Thank you for sharing this story!
Leah you are beautiful and obviously strong. I’m so sorry what you and the other girls went through. I think you did everything right at the age of eleven. You have a strong bond with your parents and sister. God Bless you!!❤❤
I could not look at its face.
Brave Leah you gave me tears of joy ❤❤❤
Sooooo glad she escaped AND recovered❣️
As a parent I'm crying
What amazing young girl and now young lady.
Thanks heavens for good people.
I remember this, and I remember crying when she was found! So thankful she was alive!
