Take me through the moment when you wake up
in the back of that mobile home,
strapped down at that age.
What did you think was going on?
So I woke up.
I had been given this allergy pill,
'cause we were supposed to be going to ride horses.
The next thing, I'm strapped with my wrists,
and my ankles to the back of the motor home bed.
There's a box right next to my ear.
Small wooden box.
Yeah, kind of an intercom, yeah,
and it's talking to me in a high pitched monotone voice.
He had taken me, and all of the kids
to many science fiction movies
those first two and a half years that he was making us,
you know, his best friend.
And in that moment, when I heard
that high pitched monotone voice,
"Female companion", I mean it literally talked
in this eerie sounding voice,
I thought I'd been kidnapped by a UFO.
And he was not there, I didn't know where he was.
I could see the box, and I could hear this voice.
And it's telling you what?
"It is time for your mission to begin."
That's what it kept saying.
"We have been watching you since birth,
you are a special child,
it is time for your mission to begin."
Over and over again.
And this is on a loop.
Yeah, probably a 20, 30 minute loop.
Did it say what would happen if you did not comply?
Yes, it said if you don't follow all of our rules,
you will be evaporated, you will be killed,
and your little sister will be taken.
When did he come back into the picture then?
It was about two and a half days,
in my recollection, when the partition
between the back and the front
of the motor home was removed,
and the box said, I was unstrapped,
"You will now meet the male companion,
go to the front of the motor home."
And I got up, walked to the front of the motor home,
and there on the couch in the motor home,
is Robert Berchtold, covered with cuts and blood,
and passed out, I thought he was dead.
And I'm looking at him and I'm shaking him,
B, B, we used to call him B, wake up, wake up,
we've been taken, we've been taken.
I'm waking him up, and he comes to,
and he says, "Oh Dolly.",
that's what he used to call me.
"I saw this white light come out of the sky
on our way to the ranch, the car went out of control,
I was trying to save you (gasping) oh my word,
what happened, I'm covered with cuts."
You know, and it was complete.
From that moment, I knew that both of us
had been taken by a UFO.
You're 12 at this point.
Yeah, and I'm a young 12.
I'm not a savvy 12.
Yeah, and you've been programmed all this time.
You're headed to Mexico.
Yeah.
And you're gone for six weeks.
Right.
And during that six weeks,
he keeps up this whole charade, right?
Yeah, he would go into a trance any time the box came on.
Then I would tell him what the instructions were.
I would come to him and I would say,
"The box said that we're supposed
to do the thing that makes people happy,
we're supposed to have a child.
I'm supposed to have the child to save the dying planet."
And so he'd lead me to the back of the motor home,
"Well what do you think that means?"
And then he'd have all the books there,
you know 101 Positions, and all the stuff that was sexual,
and I don't know what it means,
I literally don't even have the verbiage at that point,
I mean we're talking the 70s.
My parents didn't know what a pedophile was,
neither did my FBI agent.
So that's when the sexual abuse starts,
as you're completing this mission.
Yes.
How do you get found?
The FBI actually had put a tape recorder
at our home, at his brother's place of business,
and they were able to trace the number of coins,
and somehow, between a conversation,
they narrowed it down, they knew that he was in Mexico,
and eventually they found him,
and stormed the motor home in the middle of the night,
grabbed me, grabbed him.
And he was charged
with first degree kidnapping.
Yes.
And at that point, he gets five years,
but he only serves like about two weeks, right?
Exactly.
Then he's back on the street.
At that point, were you upset with him at all?
No, because I thought it was real,
I'm totally brainwashed, I still think they can see me,
I'm now home, but I still think
they're watching every move I make.
I have to do the right thing,
I can't talk to boys at school,
don't have a relationship with your father,
if you do your father will be removed, he'll be killed.
You know, I was completely, absolutely brainwashed
to do whatever I was told.
