Notes
Original Toronto Star caption: Still shaking, Susan Nelles is free but the memory of her harrowing 14-month ordeal lingers. It has a strong effect. It's always there with you, she told The Star's Ellie Tesher in an interview yesterday at her parents' home in Belleville. Congratulatory cards and flowers were sent to the house.
