Eliadah "Lia" McCord (born March 27, 1973) is an American woman who was convicted of smuggling heroin in Bangladesh at the age of 18. She was subsequently sentenced to 30 years' imprisonment , but was pardoned after four years and six months at the request of Congressman Bill Richardson. McCord's story was documented on Raw TV's ''Banged Up Abroad'' (''Locked Up Abroad'' in the United States of America).〔 (【引用サイトリンク】 Locked Up Abroad - Bangladesh )〕 ==Biography== McCord grew up in Houston, Texas, USA. She left home when she was 18 years old〔 (【引用サイトリンク】 Drug case is family's anguish Texas woman to face trial in Bangladesh )〕 and moved into an apartment with a friend. After a few months, they were becoming low on funds when McCord's roommate returned from a trip to Europe, claiming to have made $10,000 (USD) by smuggling diamonds. Intrigued, McCord agreed to meet her roommate's employer, but when she learned that not only would she be traveling to Bangladesh, but would also be smuggling drugs, she became reluctant.〔 (【引用サイトリンク】 Sentenced to Life )〕〔 (【引用サイトリンク】 Free Again! )〕 McCord's soon-to-be employer then doubled the payment to $20,000 and informed her that she would be smuggling drugs into Switzerland, not the US. McCord agreed. She learned that her roommate had also smuggled heroin, not diamonds, through an airport. After two weeks, the last five days of which were spent at a five-star resort in Dhaka, unsure of when she would receive the drugs, McCord became impatient as her vacation visa was about to expire. According to McCord, as she was attempting to flee at the last minute, she was caught in the resort's lobby by the supplier, who then forced her into a cab and duct-taped 7 lbs of heroin to her body (per National Geographic's ''Locked Up Abroad – Bangladesh'' docudrama). 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Eliadah McCord」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
