It's every parent's nightmare, your child is missing. For one local family in Stevens Point, that nightmare became a reality nearly 13 years ago. Jessyca Mullenberg and her mother appeared on the the Dr. Phil Show today, opening up on how she survived an abduction by a 38-year old neighbor in 1995.
104 days later, she was rescued in a motel room in Houston, Texas physically and mentally abused.
Her mother Monica explains why after all these years, they wanted to share her daughters story on the national stage.
"We feel an obligation to put the word out there as much as possible that yes, there are missing children all over and that she was found and that gives hope to parents everywhere," said Monica Lukasavige, Jessyca Mullenberg's Mother.
She says Jessica recently graduated with a psychology degree from UW Stout, and plans to work someday for the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children.

hey did you tell anyone? i feel for both of you and i hope that you're also doing fine too both you and jessyca
Jessyca is a beautiful,strong woman. I,too, was violated. It was by my stepfather's brother-in-law. I was 12 when it happened. I am now 31. It happened for only two weeks, and I still have "trust" issues all because of the mind of a so-called preacher. These sick...(well I won't say the word)don't understand how this is a life sentence we endure after these things happen to us! You are an amazing person Jessy.
As a Mother I really appreciated the Jessica Mullenberg story, I have only lived here for ten years and this story really hit home. How brave these two women are, I will watch my children a lot closer, thanks Julia for a really compassionate heartfelt story.
