Brisbane: 

Notorious: Natasha Ryan

A runaway Australian schoolgirl who hid in a cupboard for nearly five years while her parents believed she had been murdered, has married her 'captor'.

Natasha Ryan, then 14, secretly moved in with the man she was banned from seeing in 1998.

Her family believed she had been murdered until she was discovered hiding from police in a bedroom cupboard at the home of Scott Black in April 2003.

It is believed the couple enjoyed a "small and intimate" wedding on Saturday.

At the time Ryan vanished several women and girls had also disappeared and were later found to be victims of serial killer Leonard John Fraser. Fraser was also charged with Ryan's murder but the trial ground to an unexpected halt when Ryan was found hiding in Black's house.
