He took her to his apartment, raped her, forced her to smoke marijuana, and tied her to his bed. After watching the evening news about her abduction, he tied her to a homemade wooden apparatus to spread her legs. Robinson was then able to free herself while Evonitz was asleep, escape, and identify her abductor to the police using information she was able to find on Evonitz's refrigerator. She went outside and found 2 men in a car and they took her to the sheriffs office.[4]
