But I would have thought that 5 years stuck in there alone with the only visits being from your rapist. I think I would have tried to escape, even if it meant I was killed by a booby trap.

I guess no-one really knows what they would do unless they were in that situation. Maybe her will to survive was so great that she felt the only way to ensure that was to not try to escape.
