Local Woman Tells Story Of How She Escaped Online Predator

PITTSBURGH (NewsRadio 1020 KDKA) - On Jan. 1, 2002, 13-year old Alicia Kozakiewic left her house and stumbled into the most terrifying adventure of her life.

Kozakiewic became another victim of an online predator, Scott W. Tyree.

The 38-year old's terrifying dungeon was discovered by another man through his video stream thankfully only a few days later.

KDKA Radio's Robert Mangino talks with Kozakiewic and her mother, Mary, about the horrific event and the one in a 100 chance that she would be found.

You can hear Mangino every weekday from 7 p.m. until 11 p.m. only on NewsRadio 1020 KDKA.
