Both Nicola and Sharon were able to provide some details of their abductor and his detention premises upon their release from the masked man but it was Nicola who briefed the police in high-level of detail. Sharon recalled being carried from her home for a short way to a car, then placed on the front passenger side floor. During the car ride, Mr. Cruel asked her if she could see and Sharon told him she could, so he taped her eyes shut. When they reached the detention house, Mr. Cruel carried her from the car to the entry. She remembers the bedroom being directly to the right of the front door. Sharon was then secured to the bed by some sort of neck shackle. At some point during her ordeal, Sharon was given a glass of milk and a stale vegemite sandwich and left alone in the house, so she lifted her blindfold to take a peek. She was able to provide a description of the bedroom to the police, a peach bedhead, peach curtains, beige carpet, bedside tables, and peach lamp bases with white and yellow striped shades and a tripod at the foot of the bed with possibly a camera or video attached. The police later released the image to the public. The sketch of the tripod described by the victim appears to be similar to an antique dumpy level that would be used by civil engineers. Sharon also recalled hearing aircraft noise.
