Sophie Douglas is the one of the two living victims of serial pedophilic killer Clayton Mills, besides Kirsten Guzek.
History[]
Douglas was leaving school when Mills lured her in by promising to show her a puppy but took her. Her disappearance caused her mother to report her missing. Mrs. Douglas initially believed Sophie's father took her as a way to have her all to himself, due to them being in the midst of a bitter custody battle over her but had no proof.
Over the course of her abduction, she was forced to try different costumes, photographed, and thrown "birthday parties" with her name all over, eating cupcakes, fruit punch, and corn candy during the whole captivity. On the third day, she was put into a bubble bath to wash off, then raped by Mills before she was forced into the van to be murdered and disposed of elsewhere. However, on the way, Sophie fell out of Mills' van before she was to be killed and was nearly hit by a couple who spotted her on a road during rush hour traffic. Mills could not risk being exposed and quickly fled the scene, while Sophie was taken to a hospital.
She was carefully walked through the rape exam, as well as carefully questioned, where she was scared to remember and upset about how she was lured by a "puppy" ruse and afraid her mother wouldn't forgive her, even though it wouldn't ever be Sophie's fault. With her testimony, Mills was tracked and successfully captured when he kidnapped another girl. Instead of execution, Mills was sentenced to prison for life in exchange for revealing another murdered girl and where she was buried. (SVU: "Countdown")
