LOS ANGELES -- One of the two teenage victims of Thursday's harrowing kidnapping ordeal is speaking out.
The tearful 17-year-old girl told a TV station in Los Angeles that she and the other victim tried to kill Roy Ratliff (pictured, right) in his sleep.
They hatched a plan to attack him with a knife and a whisky bottle as he slept in the Bronco he'd stolen when he kidnapped them.
The 17-year-old says they tried it, stabbing him in the throat, hitting him, and even getting his big, thick glasses away from him, but he regained control of the situation with his gun.

More on real guts.
Although the girls were bound for much of the ordeal, Jacqueline said she did have one opportunity to escape, when Ratliff untied her during a stop for gas and let her go to the bathroom. She said he also bought the girls chips and sodas during the stop.
"She could have ran," said her mother, Nadine Dyer, but was certain that if she did her abductor would have killed the other girl.
