Kidnapping survivor remembers dragging &#;cold, heavy chain&#; from captor&#;s dungeon
Alicia &#;Kozak&#; Kozakiewicz remembers thinking she wasn&#;t leaving her captor&#;s dungeon alive after four days of rape and abuse.
She was 13 years old when an online predator lured her from her parents&#; home in Pittsburgh on Jan. 1, , drove her to Virginia and chained her in his basement.
&#;He put a locking dog collar around my neck and dragged me to his dungeon and raped me,&#; Kozak told Fox News Digital.
&#;He chained me to the floor with this dog collar next to the bed. I was raped and beaten and tortured in that house for four days.&#;
On the fourth day, Kozak said her attacker – whose name she won&#;t speak – told her, &#;I&#;m beginning to like you too much. Tonight we&#;re going to go for a ride.&#;
&#;I knew in that moment there was nothing I could do,&#; Kozak said. &#;I knew he was going to kill me.&#;
As she accepted what she thought was her inevitable fate, Kozak thought about her parents &#;and how much they loved me.&#;
&#;That&#;s what kept me going, but I knew it was unlikely that I was going to make it out of there alive,&#; she

As a child Alicia was abducted by a man she met online
On 1 January , 13 year old Alicia Kozakiewicz left her family home and "simply vanished". The man who took her had spent months befriending her as she sat at home on her family computer.
He imprisoned her, raped her and beat her.
But Alicia survived, and now she works to raise awareness about the risks of the internet.
Alicia spoke to Eddie Mair about her childhood before New Year's Day , how she was befriended by a man online, how he abducted and imprisoned her, and her work on internet safety since being freed.

Kidnapped by a paedophile inom met online
I remember looking out of the fönster and seeing the phone boxes and thinking, "What if inom could get to one of them, what would I säga to my family? How could inom get out of this, let them know that I'm in danger?"
There are no words to explain the fear and terror of thinking this individ could pull over and kill me at any moment. He continued to drive for about fem hours from my Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania home to Virginia. Finally, the car stopped, he pulled me out of the car and dragged me into this house - and continued to drag me down a flygning of stairs that seemed to go on alltid in my mind. I'm sure it was a flight or two but it felt like it was an endless maze.
Once he'd got me into the basement, there was a door with a padlock on it and he took me inre. On the walls were all these devices that my year-old mind just couldn't comprehend.
He then removed my clothing and looked at me and said, "This is going to be really hard for you. It's OK, cry."
After that he put a locking dog collar around my neck and dragged me upstairs to his bedroom and raped me. He chained me to the floor with thi
