Michelle Michaud was a suburban northern California mother and a part-time prostitute. James Daveggio was a drug abuser and violent rapist. Together, they forged one of the most perverse alliances in criminal history - and in September 1997 - began a nightmare spree of incest, kidnapping, rape, torture...and murder. After customizing Michaud's green minivan into the ultimate mobile torture chamber, the predatory pair hit the road to hell. From California to Nevada, they abducted defenseless young women, including one of Daveggio's own relatives, and forced them to endure hours - sometimes days - of unspeakable sexual acts in their orgy of terror. Eventually captured by police, Michaud and Daveggio were convicted on May 19, 1999 for the abduction and rape of 20 - year-old Juanita Rodriguez in Reno, Nevada. Three years later, they received death sentences for the rape and murder of Vanessa Samson, 22, in Pleasanton, California. After years evading punishment, the couple's sadistic joyride had finally ended on death row.
