Austrian triathlete freed by kidnapper after complimenting orchids

The man forced her to drink alcohol and tried to suffocate her and drown her in a bathtub filled with cold water, Birli said. However she managed to placate the man by complimenting him on the many orchids growing in his home. Though he was initially "filled with hate," the man suddenly became "nice to me" and confided that gardening was his passion before opening up about his troubled childhood, she said. ​
