Missing girl kept locked up for 10 years

A 24-year-old woman who was missing for 10 years
has been reunited with her father after spending
most of the time locked in the bedroom of a house
just two miles away.
Tanya Kach had been living at the house in a
suburb of Pittsburgh with a 48-year-old man who
was a security guard at the school she attended as
a teenager.
For 10 years she did not venture out alone,
remaining in a locked bedroom in
Thomas Hose's home.
The security guard was remanded in custody
on Wednesday, charged with sexual assault and
involuntary deviate sexual intercourse.
After seeing her father for the first time since
she ran away from home at 14, Ms Kach said:
"I can't believe I'm free." Her father never stopped
looking for her, and the search assumed a high
profile in Pittsburgh, with the girl's photograph
appearing on milk cartons.
But there were never any sightings of her.
She told reporters that Mr Hose had kept her in
the house by convincing her that nobody else
cared about her.
"He told me no one was looking for me.
He said the case was cold. I believed him."
The security guard met her when he caught her
skipping a class at school.
They made plans for her to run away to live
with him.
She moved into his house, which he shared with
his parents and younger brother.
Mr Hose moved her in when nobody was there
and kept her presence secret.
Some 10 months ago he introduced her to his
parents as his girlfriend and she started to go
out, making frequent visits to a nearby shop.
This week, Ms Kach finally told her story to
the shopkeeper.
Mr Hose has not been charged with holding
her against her will.

THIS IS A WEIRD AND ODD CASE FOR SURE!!
Just happy she is alive.
