Meet three remarkable women who survived life-threatening hostage ordeals. Jackie was a 30-year old teacher working in Cairo when a routine flight home from Athens in November of 1985 plunged her into a deadly hijacking. Shot in the head at point blank range, Jackie managed to overcome extraordinary disabilities to live a rich and joyful life. Gracia and her husband, Martin, were missionaries in the Philippines when, in May of 2001, an overnight stay at a luxury resort turned into a kidnapping nightmare. For over a year, they were hostages of murderous Islamic terrorists … and only Gracia would get out of it alive. Corrections Officer Lois was taken captive in 2004 by two vicious inmates trying to escape from an Arizona State Prison and held for 15 days before finally being released. Former FBI Chief Hostage Negotiator Gary Noesner is the episode’s expert, explaining why these situations were so difficult to resolve.
