Anne Sluti
Taken in Broad Daylight is a 2009 made for television movie based on true events of the kidnapping of Nebraska teenager Anne Sluti who was held for 6 days in April 2001 by Anthony Steven Wright also known as Tony Zappa. The lack of depth was astonishing. Long stretches of stupidity compounded by boredom. This special airs tomorrow night. BRADLEY: The other point is that the police made this connection with the affidavit. Now what did the school do with that information. But one of the police officers actually found a pipe bomb in an area that was sort of halfway between the Harris home and Dylan Klebold's home. The police actually worked up an affidavit, an affidavit for a search warrant that was never carried out. They had had problems with Eric Harris before.
And there is information that just hadn't been public knowledge before. Columbine has just swept all of us away. BRADLEY: According to Nate, Harris and Klebold even made video tapes of them shooting their guns, and brought those tapes to school. One would think we have heard all there is to hear about that tragedy. He's got a special tomorrow night on Columbine. So you have these camps who want it, and are directly involved and some who are only indirectly involved and then you have people who are absolutely posed to it.
KING: Do you agree with the closed-circuit telecast into Oklahoma City. Do you expect -- did you expect criticism for doing the interview. And that this government is working against people he would regard as patriots. BRADLEY: Well, his rationalization, is because of the policies of this government. Or defending myself or my family. On the one hand someone could seem so rational and reasonable, at some points in conversation.
And you had that duality there that you are dealing with. And then there was that sudden realization of what he had done in Oklahoma City. Michael Ruduski was a lead producer talking with McVeigh lawyers at the time. He did the only interview with Timothy McVeigh, after Timothy McVeigh was convicted. Any things like that occurring. SLUTI: There was several hours of negotiation going on, just prior to her freedom.
We were treated very, very well, our family was treated with respect, they worked very hard -- all the law enforcement volunteers, everyone. SLUTI: Yes, extremely happy with every aspect from every law enforcement agency that we dealt with. Are you concerned for her emotionally at that time. She is the prime witness. That feeling was also with us. KING: Was she bothered sexually at all during those six days. We had none of that whatsoever. KING: Don, did you hear from the abductor and your daughter during these six terrible days. They'll join us from Kearney, Nebraska with that very gripping story. Anne Sluti's parents endured that for nearly a week.
But first, how would you cope if your teenaged daughter was kidnapped by a federal fugitive, yeah, she was Anne Sluti.

Anne Sluti
Anthony Zappa received a life sentence Monday plus seven years for abducting Anne Sluti from a Kearney mall parking lot in April 2001. He will also make restitution totaling almost $40,000.
Sluti gave tearful testimony during Zappa’s trial describing being sexually assaulted while she was detained by him. Zappa’s attorney had argued the Sluti had sex willingly with Zappa.
The judge believes the sentence will punish Zappa and deter other criminals. “I can’t count on age and time to rehabilitate Mr. Zappa, given his past and the difficulties he has caused for people … culminating in this crime,” Judge Warren Urbom said in handing down the sentence.
Anne Sluti was not in court Monday. However, her parents said they believe justice has been served.
“I think we saw justice here today. It’s a tremendous relief,” Anne’s mother, Elaine Sluti, said after Monday’s sentence was announced.
The teen’s parents said the family can now move forward knowing their daughter’s abductor will not be part of society again. “Society’s been protected. This individual who did this terrible thing to my daughter is put where he’ll never harm your children,” Anne’s father, Don Sluti, said.
Zappa’s attorney, James Martin Davis argued the punishment is too harsh.
Davis believes a punishment of 40 years would have been adequate. “Someday, if he walked out of a jail or a penitentiary, he would know in his own mind then, and only then, what he had truly sacrificed for his conduct,” Davis said.
But for Anne Sluti and her family, the sentence concludes a painful chapter in their lives. “She’s not looking for vengeance. She’s looking for her life ahead of her. And this just represents something in the past that we wish, and we all wish, had never happened,” Elaine Sluti said.
Zappa said he will appeal the conviction and the sentence.
Zappa, 31, a native of Minneapolis, is the man police in that city said led them on a multi-day chase in St. Paul and Bloomington in March 2001. Officers said he first eluded them after allegedly firing shots at officers in St. Paul trying to capture him on federal warrants. He then prompted the unprecedented closure of the Mall of America after he was spotted in the parking lot the next morning.
