Candice filed for divorce and started custody proceedings. But Martin and Linda wouldn’t let go. One night, they broke into her parents’ home, demanding she come back. Martin grabbed her arm, insisting they were “meant to be.” Her father called the police just in time. Martin and Linda were arrested for attempted kidnapping. The media frenzy that followed was overwhelming. So Candice left it all behind — moving to a new city, starting fresh with her son,
and changing her name. Therapy helped her reclaim her strength. And slowly, she built a safe, peaceful life for herself and Barry. She’ll never forget what she went through. But when her son asked her, “Mommy, are we safe now?” she could finally answer:“Yes, sweetheart. We’re safe. And we’re going to be okay.”
