Story Snippet:
For the first time since his release from an underground Alabama bunker, 6-year-old Ethan and his mother, Jennifer Kirkland, have revealed new details about his six days as a hostage, telling TV-host Phil McGraw that he "has had a very hard time sleeping soundly."
Jimmy Lee Dykes, 65, abducted Ethan and held him in a 6-by-8-foot bunker 4 feet underground near Midland City, Alabama. He had snatched the boy from a school bus after shooting the driver to death.
The standoff ended after six days when Dykes engaged in a firefight with SWAT agents before they stormed the bunker and killed him.
Ethan and Kirkland sat down with McGraw for an exclusive one-on-one interview last week, in which they described Ethan's time underground with Dykes.
"He has said a few things," Kirkland said in the interview that will air on "The Dr. Phil Show" Wednesday. "Now I know that he has had a very hard time sleeping soundly. He slings his arms and tosses and turns. He's cried out a few times." ………………….
