I wonder how long she was actually locked in the trunk?

It says up to 10 days, I wonder if she had water?

What's incredible is that she has survived. It's been so very cold this past couple of weeks The fact she hasn't died from hypothermia is amazing.

Not sure about water FS, it looks like he intended on killing her so I doubt that there would have been anything with her

Here is a little more of the story

However, he said she might not have survived if she had been in the boot for that length of time because she had no food or water and was wearing only thin night attire in freezing temperatures.

Poor thing! It says she wasn't assaulted, but was so totally traumatized that it was hard to interview her.

I think it would smell terrible, you'd be lying in your own excrement. I tend toward claustrophobia, it would be horrible for me.
