Stolen Innocence
Logline: 12-year-old Jan Broberg was kidnapped by her parents’ best friend and trusted neighbor. Twice.
Elevator Pitch:
In 1974, Jan Broberg was kidnapped by her parents best friend, Robert Bechtold. He drugged her and strapped her to a bed in the back of a motorhome, and drove to Mexico. Upon awakening, Jan heard high-pitched voices, repeating commands through a small intercom, leading her to believe that she and Berchtold had been abducted by aliens.

A day ago, word was that Edgar Wright’s Ant-Man will no longer be filming at Pinewood Studios in London, even though Marvel has shot their other films, which include Captain America: The First Avenger, Thor: The Dark World, and they just wrapped up the upcoming Guardians of the Galaxy. Thanks to tax breaks, the UK has become the international go to place for major Hollywood productions in recent months.

Saying that left it unclear where production on the film might be going. All that was known is that there is no room for Ant-Man at Pinewood Studios UK thanks to Star Wars: Episode VII and the next James Bond film…no problem.

Owner Paul Brown was absolutely stunned by an item that walked into his auction house on "Auction Kings." Todd brought in an old family heirloom, but it had so much more historical significance than Todd fully realized. Todd explained that the desk he'd brought in actually dated back to President Thomas Jefferson.
"My family purchased his home in Poplar Forest, Virginia, in the 1840s, and I inherited it about three years ago," Todd explained.
"If it is what it appears to be, it’s by far, hands-down, nothing even comes close, the best piece I’ve ever had in my possession," Paul said.
And it was exactly as it appeared to be. The seller was hoping for $6,000 to set up a college fund for his 6-year-old daughter. At auction, the piece did much better than that, selling for $65,000. That should make for a great start to the college fund, as...
