Vinson Filyaw

Vinson Filyaw is an American former construction worker. He was convicted of kidnapping and raping Elizabeth Shoaf, a 14-year-old girl from Lugoff, South Carolina, in 2006, holding her captive in an underground bunker. Filyaw had built the bunker to elude police who were seeking him for the rape of Amberly Rose Shook. A former girlfriend of Filyaw's made an anonymous call to Kershaw County's Department of Social Services that alerted the police to him. Filyaw's girlfriend was also arrested on charges of aiding and abetting the abduction.
