The surviving victim's sister tells in horrifying detail how she managed to escape days after Gert and his accomplice lured her to their home and drugged her.

In early 1990, Van Rooyen shot Harhoff before turning the gun on himself after one of his victims, who had managed to escape, told police she'd been drugged and sexually assaulted over several days by the couple.
