What's the girls name that inspired "Polly" by Nirvana. I'm lo!
Question: IT WAS NOT POLLY KLASS!!!!
Polly Klass was killed in 1993. The song "Polly" was released on "Nevermind" in 1991.
This is the best version of the story I could gather:
Polly was a 14 year old returning home from a concert in 1987. She was abducted by a man name Gerald Friend who hung her by a hook in is mobile home. He tortured her with whips, knifes and a blow torch. She escaped while they were at a gas station.
You aren't going to find the girl's last name. She was an underage rape victim. Minor's names are not released to the press.

According to Michael Azerrad's 1993 Nirvana biography Come as You Are, "Polly" is based on the true story of a female rape victim from Tacoma, Washington. The girl, 14, was abducted in 1987 while returning from a punk rock show, and was raped and tortured with a blowtorch by her abductor (ironically named Gerald Friend). Cobain's only narrative flourish is that the victim manages to escape by flirting with her captor, convincing him to let her go.
