The film's denouement was effective in depicting Lisa reconnecting with her sister Lorrie and being cared for by her loving Aunt Carol and Uncle Jim.

When apprehended, the serial killer could only admit, "she was special." She spoke the words aloud, "Don't give up." That was her mantra that led to her survival. There was salient moment when Lisa was captive and staring at herself in the mirror. It was only Detective Larry Pinkerton who recognized that Lisa was telling the truth and that she could lead the police to the serial killer. The three police officers who questioned Lisa were not much better, as they believed that her attention to detail was a sign that she was fabricating her story. The family conditions of Lisa were horrendous with both a mother and grandmother who were uncaring and exploited a child beyond belief. But because Lisa is already an incest survivor, she uses her skills to meticulously record details about the kidnapper that will lead to his arrest.

The early part of the film is hard to take in the brutal kidnapping and captivity of Lisa by a serial killer. It tells the harrowing saga of a courageous young woman, who, in the face of no support from those around her, is able to rise above her circumstances and become both a survivor and a hero. "Believe Me: The Abduction of Lisa McVey" is a made-for-television film based on a true story that genuinely feels believable. Reviewed by lavatch 9 / 10 "Number One Hero"
