One of the original Stockholm hostages talks about her kidnap ordeal and the trusting bond she developed with her kidnapper.

In August 1973 Kristin Enmark and three of her colleagues were taken hostage during a bank siege in Stockholm, Sweden. Kristin came to trust one of the kidnappers more than the police, a condition which was later named the 'Stockholm Syndrome'. Dina Newman spoke to Kristin about her story.
