Broberg said she had a normal childhood until Robert Berchtold came into the picture., in 1972. The families quickly became friends and Berchtold, known as"B," was considered as family. However, in the fall of 1974, Berchtold kidnapped then-12-year-old Broberg. Instead of taking her horseback riding as he promised, he whisked her off in an RV. Broberg previously shared that as she was tied down, she heard a strange voice speaking through a speaker.

"It’s upsetting when people place blame on the wrong people. My parents were great. They were attentive, loved their children and were willing to do anything for them… The blame placed on my parents is absolutely misplacement. The person that should be blamed is the perpetrator. That’s the person who did the damage. That’s the person who psychologically led me, my parents, my congregation, and my community to love him, trust him, believe him. He just looked like every nice guy at church.
