Years before, Eugenia had fallen under the spell of a man convicted of kidnapping and raping a teenage girl. Eugenia had started a relationship with the man in prison, writing him letters and visiting him frequently. She had even agreed to marry him. When the convict sent Eugenia a letter instructing her to kidnap a girl and share photos with him, Eugenia had broken out of the spell long enough to go to the authorities. The convicted man was charged and tried for conspiracy to commit abduction and sex trafficking, found guilty, and sentenced to another two decades in prison.
