Kayla "Sissy" Greyland is a woman who was held captive by Michael Williams, a pedophile.

Background[]

When Kayla was ten, she went over to a friend's house for Thanksgiving before her parents called her to come home. Along the way back, she was accosted by a couple who asked for directions. Just as she was telling the man directions, she was tased by the woman and shoved in the car. Kayla was brought to their house, where she was held captive. Eventually, the man going by "Pa" proceeded to rape her and the woman going by "Ma" explained what he did and told her she was lucky. Soon the couple brought in more victims and Pa administered the same torture to them. In the time Pa was away, Kayla begged Ma to let her go but was refused because Pa would return. Sometime later, Kayla was given the name "Sissy" and became pregnant with a boy named Buddy, who grew up unaware of the truth of his parentage. Her parents were devastated by her disappearance, with her mother keeping her room the same, saved her personal items, and holding onto hope she was alive.

Imprisoned Lives[]

In 2013, Williams took Buddy to Times Square but was forced to leave him behind after a police officer spotted them. Realizing it was only a matter of time before he was exposed, Williams returned home and fled with Kayla and Ma, leaving the third captive behind because she was sick and mentally challenged after years of abuse. This girl was later found by SVU detectives. While Pa was looking for a new place to live, Kayla mustered up the courage and strength to escape. She was found by local police and tells a news team her name, voicing how she wanted to go home.

At the hospital, Kayla is reunited with her parents who were overjoyed to have her back, before she sends them off to speak with the detectives. She reveals how she was snatched up and tortured over the last few years. She also reveals that she is the biological mother of Buddy. At the end, Williams is arrested, and Ma is institutionalized while Kayla and Buddy are returned to the house of Kayla’s parents. Kayla reveals that she wants her son to have a new life and wishes that he can be normal, to which Benson wishes her luck. (SVU:"Imprisoned Lives")
