election bridges outstanding. You know we have the who? What when, where and how but not alike, you know. I don't want to know why if the bomber is captured. I had a big sigh of relief, but I knew our job was just beginning. Then we had to hope for the best for the two kids that they would be able to come to trial and test against doing just wasn't sure the conditions either.

So when I woke up, I heard tracheotomy cited a two coming out there. I had a stomach to when I woke up, I mean I was band edge and swollen, like my aw was allowed to hear my mouth

was wired shut. My teeth were all dirty like there was dirt in my teeth and when I looked at myself in the mirror, you know it was only you know from here on up, but when I look- I myself started to cry. I hated what I saw that first picture the dad- and I ever talk together of me and here in my car. It way like right next to me on the bed I knew I remember, watching dan walk out of the room.

When I woke up in the hospital I kept ass, he my fan you know where stand how's he doing in my family kept saying you he's alive, he's doing really well he's right down the hall from you and I did not believe them. I thought that he had died, and so she wrote me a note and it said I love you- I'm ok and Do I saw that I knew I knew that he was alive. I knew that he made it. I never had any idea.

Close. I was two to dying, even after I had been back at the hospital. The bullet entered back. Here was a tiny lump behind my ear right through through my windpipe and onto my jaw exited over here. And until much later that I heard how the bullet had shifted my vertebrae, how the bullet had passed street through. My windpipe of the bullet would have another age or few millimetres closer to my vertebrae. I could be dead or paralyzed what I saw them for the first time, I was scared to see his face again, but I was extremely. just extremely relieved that I found him. I knew that this was him. I knew beyond a shadow of a doubt that this was a guy who channels and whether he

admitted it or not. These are things that he had done and he was going to have to pay for them Nobody wants to take them. case to trial the we certainly didn't wanna- have dan and Daniel go through this experience, but he left us no choice. He just wouldn't it moves gill. He wanted his in court for whatever bizarre and sick reason he got it. Danny I'll, be damned we're both very emotional before the preliminary hearing when they entered the court room for the first time. We just to tell them they were gonna, be safe. He could do nothing further to harm them. I was terror I to see him again. I mean he was monster. To me I did not,

I'll be in the same room with him. I felt just full of fear again. You know that face had just instilled so much panic inside of me. Nor did not testify at trial. I don't recall him calling any witnesses he had. Nothing here nothing, but his arrogance. He just sat there and it was almost like either wanted to have dan and Daniele re live this by recounting what happened in a public form or he just frankly when dad and Daniel were testifying trial. It was We silent in the courtroom conferred pendragon. When I Up there are the stand, I mean there were times Riah to break down, and me I d, had to show me, you know evidence I could play out. I mean they showed me, the clothes that were cut off of me, so first time, seeing dad

and there is like mine splattered all over them, the guy. Is this what the gun looked like? a really hard experience. You know just sit there. and share that with everybody, and I knew that you know my family was sitting there. So I knew like all the details. I was sharing especially about the rape. My fear it was hearing it to the amount of course Daniel showed during the trial was unbelievable because she to tell total strangers summit intimate details that she could ever possibly have, relate to anyone. Dan saw the crime from a different perspective Daniel, so the The jury was very interested in what damage trying to come up with any plan to get us out of

situation and I start to try to plead with them, and I said you know, sir. I I'll, give you anything you want. If you just. Let us go he just told me to shut up. You said I don't want to hear from you at some point I realise that their starting to move around up front realise that that he's raping her that was really hard to know that something that terrible was happening to someone that I cared about, and I was that close, but I couldn't there was nothing I can do after he had grape daimyo emotions but the garden he said walk down. They walked down by the river. the real gravity of the situation started to hit me. I started to realize it. I'm going to die today that no matter what I to do this he's going to kill me, and today is going to be the

stay in my life, son. I just felt this tremendous force. This impact that just hit me and and knock right to the ground, and it was so sorry then it was so powerful that my mind couldn't even catch up to it. I didn't I was even sure what had happened until I hit the ground I didn't even know that I've been shot but I was sort of laying there looking at the dirt, and I realise that there's like blood coming out of my mouth started to get cold, and I started to get really tired very fast and kneeled down and she was obviously upset- and I just send her- I said davy, I'm sorry. I have to go now and then first thing that I remember is feeling of being of my body like sort of turning and over end and all of a sudden shock of of cold. Like

he's in cold as I had the water, and so I just started to like flow in the water. Sort of drift down stream with the current. It was right around. Point that I notice that danny was right there too. What I would have died if Dan was not their dan was my lifesaver in there I remember one point our hands separated from each other and I could not move on my own dan. You know he he felt my hand slipped from his and he turned back around and he swam back out, and he grabbed me and he pulled me to shore. I do not believe I would have survived without him damn will never admit this, but truly, is the euro of the entire case, constantly thinking he was killed. currently encouraging without dan banner

has no faces not apprehended without Dan Daniel is unable to swim in the water then kept both of them live it still tough and still do. consider myself a hero in any sense, but while I was there- and I am glad that you know it's me if it's me being their method, you survive than I do. I do it again I'd. Do it a thousand times When the various came I remember sitting next to Dan and I was holding to dance hand and he will decide. Church guilty on all accounts. You know on everything that he was charged with I mean I just remember afterwards, like this flood of relief, just going through me, William,

Abner was convicted of two counts of attempted murder, two counts of napping one counter. robbery three counts involuntary deviate sexual intercourse, one count of rape, His sentence was one hundred and seventeen and a half to two hundred and thirty five years in state correctional institution however, is the face of evil, next time, bhavna is going to get out of prison, he's going to be in a box the Daniel and I stayed in touch after the incident, and we tried to talk

occasionally, but our relationship wasn't anything like it was before was like every time that I talked to her. I had to bring up the past all over again. had to think about. All the things that I thought I had done wrong. All the ways that I couldn't save her, and I couldn't get us both out of that situation and, oh, Most of the time I couldn't stand and over period of time. I started to pull further and further away transitioning back to being a college, was really hard for me. I really struggled with being around strain that were strangers to me

First, she was a little withdrawn in or a she. She was very scared She didn't want to walk alone at night. She did have a lot of nightmares and home. It was, it was up setting for all of us, because we really wanted to help her and we really we didn't, want it to be scared or sad, but with the circumstances are really wasn't any other way. That's comments. She was I knew in the back of my mind that there is still a lot that I had to do personally in order to again feel is I could you know again for months. After wagner was convicted. We had take back the night on the susquehanna university campus and what take back the night, is, is a rally against rape every he can attend and they can get up and speak about their experience with rape or violence

and I saw all these brave women, you know lock up to the microphone and just share you now imo rapes survivor and share parts of their story. it was just so in, spiralling and so empowering that they had a voice, that they are able to share their about ten minutes. Silence, Nobody was getting up to speak and danny got up to speak We know that she was gonna, tell the whole story, and we knew that she was gonna share this with everybody, and now is probably the most emotional moment for all of us, because you can kind of sea the boy. dear me and the growth

it was making and house she was she just got. Then, she told the whole story and It just really moved everyone and it really moved all of us and we were. We were so proud of her. We were really really proud of the I just I felt so much power and so much strength than a part of what I felt he had taken from me. I was able to to pull back and say you know why he may have taken. You know a few things, but there are so much that he did it take that he couldn't touch, and that is what makes me who I am I think that it took me a lot longer than it should have to get to a more comfortable place in dealing with the incident.

and talking about it and out from a healthy perspective. I knew that I share beginning therapy. You know I should be dealing with it, really didn't want to. I wanted to, ignore it and just What did eventually it went away in the last years. I feel like I'm grown up a whole lot of regard the incident. My perspective is almost entirely changed, Daniel and I'd really reconnected over the past couple of years. We really started our relationship over from where kind of ended and we're really close now- and I consider her a great friend, Dan Madge, an amazing woman at college. I, who has been such a great companion for him. She has definitely helped him to gets it I'd next level in his own survive. On healing
