A witch doctor kept a woman trapped in an Indonesian cave for 15 years

The girl was only 13 when she disappeared.

Her parents had taken her to a shaman near their home in rural Indonesia for treatment and left her with him, but she never came back. The witch doctor told them that she had gone to the Indonesian capital, Jakarta, to find work. They never heard from her again.

But this week, 15 years after her disappearance, the now-28-year-old woman — whom authorities are calling only “H” — was found in a cave near the shaman’s home. He allegedly had kept her there the entire time, raping her and convincing her that he was possessed by a jinn, or spirit.​

“Since the perpetrator was well-respected in the village, there is a possibility that there are other victims that have not yet come forward because they are afraid,” Magdalena Sitorus, commissioner of the National Commission on Violence Against Women, told the Jakarta Post.​

Police also may be investigating whether H’s sister knew of her whereabouts all along. The Jakarta Post reported that the sister was married to the witch doctor’s son and may have had a role in the tip-off.

Say what?
