97. Sounds Like More Than Just A Survivor - Mary Vincent's Defiant Will To Live

Just The Tip-Sters: True Crime Podcast - Ein Podcast von Melissa Morgan

In 1978, while hitchhiking to visit a relative, 15 year-old Mary Vincent  was abducted, then repeatedly raped and sodomized, then tortured by 51 year-old Lawrence Singleton, who then attempted to finish the teenager off by cutting both of her arms off with an ax, then kicking her into a drainage ditch.  Almost impossibly, young Mary found the will to stuff dirt into the stubs that were once her forearms, crawl out of the ravine and walk - naked and near death - THREE MILES to the nearest highway, where she was rescued by passing motorists.  Listen as Melissa takes you through the horror of Mary Vincent's ordeal, her absolute defiance in the face of death, and the awful, disturbing details of what happened to her would-be murderer. Ultimately, this is a story of great hope and - yes - beauty and love - a reminder that the human spirit is capable of miracles.  SUPPORT OUR SPONSOR - KLEANSPA BATH & BODY by Jennifer Hardaway.  Make sure to enter promotional code TIPSTERS at checkout to receive 15% off your total order.  www.kleanspa.com - Kleanspa - prepare to smell delicious.
