Estate agent Stephanie Slater who survived eight days locked in a box after being kidnapped by crazed killer Michael Sams in 1992 dies aged 50 just 11 days after being diagnosed with cancer


An estate agent who famously survived eight days locked in a box after being kidnapped by crazed one-legged killer Michael Sams in 1992 has died of cancer.

Stephanie Slater, 50, was held in a cramped wooden coffin for over a week after she was taken captive by the convicted murderer at the age of 25.

She was snatched and held at knifepoint by one-legged Sams who pretended to be a potential buyer of an empty property in Great Barr, Birmingham.

This was a huge case at the time, especially as it came only 6 years after Suzy Lamplugh, a London estate agent, disappeared while meeting a potential house buyer.

It sounds as though Stephanie never completely got over her ordeal.
 
In 'The Sun' newspaper today.

'Quote:
Today parole officers will decide whether the 81-year-old should be freed, meaning he could be out in days.
However, Bob, the detective chief superintendent during the harrowing investigation, is campaigning for Sams to live the rest of his life behind bars.
..........

Even though he is now 81 years old, hope to goodness he is not allowed out of prison.
