For more than a month, we have heard about the details of what police say was, "a week of torture and abuse." In her first television interview, Deborah Linz sat down with Megan Williams as she talked about what she calls, "her week from hell."

Megan says she thought she was going to a party, hoping to make friends. That's why she got into a car with a stranger and drove to rural Logan County. Instead, she says she endured a week of unspeakable torture.

Megan told Deborah, "They made me eat dog poop, rat poop, human poop... screamed... they would kill me." "Why do you think they did this... What was their motive? They told me they just wanted to kill me because I was black."

Megan's mother, Carmen Williams, is horrified over her daughter's ordeal. "And every time they stabbed her... they passed around the knife around all six... they said this is what they do to niggers."

Megan has five huge stab wounds on her left thigh. She was also stabbed in the ankle where she says her captors threatened to cut off her foot "like Kunta Kinta in the movie Roots." She says, "I lost a lot of blood... They made me lick my own blood... I vomited from it and they made me lick my own vomit up."

Six white suspects are charged with multiple crimes including kidnapping and sexual assault. They are: Frankie Brewster, her son Bobby Brewster, Karen Burton, her daughter Alisha Burton, Danny Combs and George Messer.

Megan talks about her alleged kidnappers saying, "Karen she held a 9mm gun to my head and asked me if I believe in God... and I said yes... and she said what if I blew your brains out... yes I would." "They all took turns kicking me in the head with steel toe boots, they beat me with several objects... shoes, a belt, a fly swatter handle, a cedar stick." "They had made a noose and they said they were going to hang me. They asked me if I wanted to see it and I said no... I'm sorry... I was scared... I didn't know what else to do."

The alleged rape, torture and beatings took place in a trailer and nearby shed in Big Creek. Megan was hospitalized for two weeks. She has bruises still healing under her eyes and scars on her neck from being choked. She says the suspects also cut and pulled out her hair. Megan says Danny Combs and Bobby Brewster raped her. She says she was forced to perform oral sex on Danny Combs and Frankie Brewster at knife point.

Megan says that on September 8th, a young man named "Eddie" heard her screams for help and called police.

She has been flooded with support from all over the world. She has received dozens of flowers, teddy bears and countless letters from as far away as soldiers in Iraq.

Megan says she still has nightmares but she says she's getting better physically and emotionally every day.

The Williams family wants hate crime charges filed against the suspects. Prosecutors say hate crimes are typically prosecuted in situations involving strangers and they say Megan knew Bobby Brewster before her captivity. She filed domestic assault charges against him back in July.

All six suspects face life in prison. They are scheduled to go before the grand jury in January.

Civil rights advocates will join together in the capitol city for a march to honor Megan. The Black Lawyers for Justice expect groups from all over the country to attend the November 3rd march.
