Far Out reported that “While shooting her first show, Flipper, in 1996, a 15-year-old Alba began to receive strange phone calls. Initially, she dismissed them as a harmless prank, but things took an unexpected turn. The actor was kidnapped from the set and missing for 14 hours.
“Upon being found bound and gagged in a car boot, she could not provide any information, so the case was dismissed. Alba has refused to discuss the terrifying incident publicly, and the culprit has remained anonymous.”
