40 Hours - The Kidnapping of Ani and Niko

In December of 2015, two University of Rochester football players and business majors were led away under false pretenses by two young women.  They were subsequently kidnapped and held captive for approximately 40 hours.  During those 40 hours they were beaten and tortured, wondering if they were going to be rescued or if they would ever see their families again.
