00:04:54
think is probably one of our most requested yes cases it is this is a doozy this is a doozy of a
00:05:04
case and a doozy of a human I mean in the best way I don't think there's a single person more resilient Bionic
00:05:13
Woman yeah truly unbelievable tale yeah so this is wild let's get into it we're going to be talking about Alice and
00:05:20
Botha today Alice and Botha she was born September 22nd 1967 in Port Elizabeth South Africa to Brian and Claire colier
00:05:30
or Kier according to Allison her house growing up was a place of unconditional love which she got from both of her
00:05:36
parents she said often as we were growing up I love this my mother would take us aside and tell us how special we
00:05:42
were she would always add though that this did not mean that we were above or better than others but we had our own
00:05:48
inner value oh my God I love that I'm going to do that [ __ ] when I have kids it's like take your child decide just to
00:05:54
be like I love that like you're so special yeah but like you're you're not above anybody or not like more special
00:06:01
than somebody else but you are like I love that that's great sadly despite the love and support and the happy household
00:06:07
that they had 10 years after Allison was born Brian and Claire uh did end up divorcing it was about 1977 when the
00:06:14
divorce was finalized and Allison and her brother Neil continued living with their mom but luckily they still saw
00:06:20
their dad on a pretty regular schedule oh good the divorce obviously created a pretty like less than ideal situation to
00:06:27
raise two kids but it's on like Brian and Claire really made the best of it they made sure that Allison and Neil
00:06:33
always had what they needed and were always thriving good for them yeah very mature Allison led a pretty normal life
00:06:40
in Port Elizabeth where she went to Collegiate High School uh during her senior year in 1985 she was named head
00:06:46
girl which is an honor that kind of came as a shock for her she did not expect this at all damn she said I was always
00:06:53
considered bright but I knew I did not apply myself to the fullest in my last few years at school I wasn't good at any
00:06:59
sport and I didn't really shine in any one area so I guess I thought I wouldn't be good enough to be a head girl damn
00:07:05
but whether she realized it or not the teachers and the head mistress at the col at Collegiate High School thought
00:07:10
very highly of her yeah they described her as a mature young woman of the utmost integrity and sound moral
00:07:17
values like the the term head girl just it makes me think of like Harry Potter yes and uh it's that it just sounds so
00:07:25
prestigious that I can't fully comprehend it it does like I want to be head girl I think imagine being head per
00:07:31
anything yeah at in school like wow that's like really really impressive yeah that [ __ ] did not happen for me I
00:07:39
made you head [ __ ] in charge at my wedding you did that's true yeah so I got to do that instead of Made of Honor
00:07:44
I said head [ __ ] in charge hell yeah well when Allison graduated from high school she felt that the honor she'
00:07:49
earned in her final year gave everybody this impression that she was a high achiever and would continue her
00:07:55
education and P pursue a very impressive career but she said the truth was I had
00:07:59
no idea what I wanted to do with my life which I feel like a lot of people feel that way when high school is over like
00:08:05
it's really not like that's not unheard of at all no you're 18 years old like most of the time you have you're still a
00:08:12
baby and there's so many options at your fingertips I feel like people are like expect you to have like exactly what you
00:08:18
want to do figured out and for a lot of people that's just not the case yeah for
00:08:22
sure when she was younger Allison had always dreamed of becoming a writer or maybe a poet but now that she was in a
00:08:27
position to pursue whatever goal she wanted she just couldn't figure out which direction to go in well cuz it it
00:08:33
really can feel like the whole world is your oyster yeah like you know you mean like when you're that young and you're
00:08:38
just like start you like I can choose anything which is awesome how do I narrow it down too many options it's
00:08:44
awesome but exactly it's overwhelming it's a great problem to have yeah well as always Claire supported her daughter
00:08:50
suggesting that she just take a secretarial course while she considered some of her options and she said if
00:08:55
nothing else you'll learn some new skills that will apply with whatever you do for sure and it turned out that that
00:09:00
course was a really good decision for Allison's future career because when she finished it up she took a job as an
00:09:05
insurance broker a job she enjoyed and was really good at although she hadn't pursued a high stress career as like a
00:09:12
doctor or lawyer as several of her teachers and classmates thought that she might by the time she reached her mid
00:09:17
20s she was building a respectable career for herself and she was really happy good for her so she was like
00:09:23
living her best life she just she was just going for it yeah well on the afternoon of December 18th 199 4 Allison
00:09:30
met up with her friend Kim and Kim's son Devon and Jared for just an evening on the beach in Port Elizabeth just like a
00:09:36
nice little friend hangout H they hung out at the beach for a little while and then they went back to Kim's apartment
00:09:41
that night and they were joined by their mutual friends Phil and Richard who just
00:09:45
stopped by unannounced and Allison said it had been one of those wonderfully spontaneous evenings a which I love I
00:09:52
love that they chatted for a while they enjoyed the nice weather and then they decided to go to Allison's apartment
00:09:57
where they ordered a pizza and played a board game just like cute little night friends being dudes sounds like a fun
00:10:02
night to me yeah when the night finally came to an end a little after midnight Phil and Richard left and Allison had
00:10:08
promised Kim that she would drive her home that night so she was driving Kim back to her apartment and then she got
00:10:14
back to her own house a little after or a little before excuse me 1: in the morning mhm she circled the block a few
00:10:20
times looking for a place to park and the place where she usually parked wasn't open which was like very close to
00:10:26
the apartment she finally spotted an open space just just a few dozen feet from her front door now the neighborhood
00:10:32
that she lived in wasn't like a rough area but the spot was further from her apartment than she preferred yeah and it
00:10:38
was in a dark part of the street there was like a tree covering the lights I hate that you have to worry about this
00:10:43
yeah you shouldn't have to worry about that at all so she hesitated for a few seconds and was like maybe I should find
00:10:49
something better but she was like whatever like I I she really wanted to go in and take a shower yeah you just
00:10:53
want to go to your house yeah so she pulled in the spot put her car into park she said later I adjust turned off the
00:10:59
engine and flicked off the headlights it was so routine I did it all in one swift
00:11:03
movement before opening the driver side door she reached over to the passenger seat to gather up a pile of clean
00:11:09
laundry and she suddenly felt a gust of warm air rush into the car as somebody opened the door holy [ __ ] she looked up
00:11:17
just in time to see what she described as a scrawny tallish young man with light blonde hair just push his head
00:11:22
into her car no she also noticed a long thin knife in his hand I hate this he immediately put the blade up to her
00:11:31
throat and said move over or I'll kill you and she said his voice was quiet and controlled she had never seen him before
00:11:39
but he seemed to know exactly what he was doing so she just without thinking slid over to the passenger seat and he
00:11:45
got in behind the wheel that's horrifying which I feel like she did the best thing you could in that situation
00:11:50
you have to try to be as calm as possible what are you supposed to do he's got a knife to your throat like I
00:11:56
don't know what I would do I don't either so as he drove he kept the knife close on the seat next to him close to
00:12:02
the door he fumbled with the dashboard trying to find the control for the lights and then asked her how to turn
00:12:07
them on and told her don't worry I don't want to hurt you I just want to use your
00:12:11
car for about an hour I feel like then and I'm I'm not saying I would do this I'm saying like when he says something
00:12:18
like that you just want to be like then take the car yeah like why do I have to be car why do I have to be here you just
00:12:22
have it well you can take it for more than an hour she basically said that I was going to say I'm sure she was just
00:12:26
like you can take this yeah eventually she said that but at when he said it she was so confused and also completely
00:12:32
terrified this is a horrifying situation I can't even fathom your brain working in that situation no way so she just
00:12:38
didn't say anything she was just sitting there like stunned and she contemplated
00:12:42
opening the passenger door door and jumping out but she said she felt strangely immobilized and just couldn't
00:12:47
bring herself to do or say anything of course now they had him been driving long when he broke the silence and said
00:12:53
you live in number one don't you so he knew exactly where she lived what the [ __ ] and she said it was less of a
00:12:59
question than a statement like he was clearly letting her know that he'd been watching her and like oh I know you live
00:13:05
here knew exactly where she horrifying he asked what her name was and thinking on her feet she told him her name was
00:13:11
Susan she didn't give him her real name even that I don't know that I would think to do that I don't think I would
00:13:17
think to do that I really don't you're like cuz I'm I'm nervous just listening to this I can't imagine being in it and
00:13:25
to think on your toes like that already I'm like damn just smart survival like skills you know so he said he said his
00:13:32
name was Clinton which was not true but hoping to appeal to his Humanity she started asking questions about him
00:13:38
figuring that if he could see her as an ordinary person and they could just strike up a conversation he would let
00:13:43
her go without hurting her another smart tactic very smart that takes a lot of like wherewithal control and like
00:13:52
keeping yourself calm to do because otherwise you're just going to freak out I mean my voice would be shaking I'd be
00:13:58
I'd just be crying think I'd be able to yeah I would definitely be that's just out of fear and I wouldn't know what
00:14:04
questions to even ask that's the thing well unfortunately that plan didn't quite pan out because in a harsh
00:14:11
tone he answered her and said I'd rather not tell you anything about me just wouldn't say anything I hate
00:14:17
that so when that didn't work she did what you were just saying and said why don't you just take my car I'll go I'm
00:14:23
not going to say anything to anybody just take the car yeah but he told her no and said he just wanted company
00:14:29
I hate this so much terrifying he explained to her that he had a friend who stole his TV and he said he was
00:14:35
driving to go find him and get some money that he owed him which is just that story is strange yeah so she grew
00:14:43
increasingly fearful as they just drove further and further away from her apartment and further from the city
00:14:49
proper until they ended up in a part of the city that she hadn't been to in several years and was almost entirely
00:14:55
unfamiliar to her they approached a large group of people on the sidewalk talk and quote unquote Clinton slowed
00:15:01
down and started scanning the crowd clearly getting more and more agitated and muttering under his breath like he
00:15:07
was looking for somebody and obviously he hadn't found whoever he was looking for so he jerked the car down a side
00:15:12
street and did a loop around and then slowed down to scan this crowd a second time and then it appeared he found
00:15:18
whoever he was looking for so he slowed the car to a stop and a short man dressed in all black approached the
00:15:24
driver's side neither of them said anything to each other but Clinton slid the driver's seat forward and the second
00:15:31
man climbed into the back seat oh I be so scared like oh my God I can't imagine cuz now there's two men there's two men
00:15:38
in this car with like in your car I hate this and it's like 1 it's after 1:00 a.m. so Clinton told the other man meet
00:15:46
my friend Susan and just started driving back to the main road [ __ ] so he gestured to the man now riding along
00:15:53
with them in the back seat and told Allison this is tons and the man the two men talked Clinton drove but Allison was
00:16:00
too nervous to even follow what they were saying she just caught a few words here and there yeah and instead she was
00:16:05
trying to keep her attention focused on the landscape outside of the car and was
00:16:09
also hoping at the same time that she might catch the attention of another driver yeah but nobody seemed to be
00:16:15
paying any attention to what was happening outside their own vehicles and even if you saw this yeah think
00:16:21
anything's weird cuz it's just three people in a car driving and a lot of people don't want to intervene with that
00:16:27
stuff oh yeah that comes up which is really scary it is scary So eventually it occurred to Allison that they had
00:16:34
been driving for quite some time and they seem to be headed along the beach towards Summer strand a suburb of Port
00:16:41
Elizabeth about five or so miles outside of City Limits so they were kind of just
00:16:45
like in the middle of nowhere yeah as they got further from the city they stopped talking the two men just stopped
00:16:52
talking completely and the car was filled with an unbearable silence in her head Allison convinced her that they
00:16:59
were just taking the long way to visit this friend as Clinton had indicated earlier but the further and further they
00:17:05
got from Port Elizabeth the less likely it was all seeming so finally when they'
00:17:10
put the lights of Port Elizabeth behind them Clinton broke the silence and told Allison tians doesn't speak good
00:17:17
English okay now the sound of his voice jolted Allison out of a panicked State and brought her back into reality the
00:17:23
statement seemed to come out of nowhere and wasn't followed by anything else which she thought was very strange yeah
00:17:30
but now with her attention focused on what was happening in the car it occurred to her that Clinton was
00:17:35
starting to slow down as they were reaching a wooded area oh God yeah so as that happened he made a u-turn and
00:17:43
pulled the car onto a small path that led down to the beach driving the car right up to the sand until they reached
00:17:49
a dark isolated spot among the trees about 300 ft away from the road the fear she must have felt as this car is just
00:17:56
slowing down you're in the middle of nowhere apprehensible to strangers who are just being weird like obviously
00:18:03
they've abducted you at knife Point first of all and they're just being weird and creepy and quiet and just as a
00:18:10
woman being alone with two men you don't know is this regardless of whether they're being threatening or not I'm
00:18:16
sorry just automatically is very very scary yeah for them to be this weird and threatening and to be driving you into
00:18:23
an isolated area of a wooded area would be I mean like my nervous system is in Orbit right now just thinking about it
00:18:32
even just being like not even like completely alone with two strangers that are men being like with friends and then
00:18:38
two strangers that you don't know that are men is scary like I've had that experience you don't know what they're
00:18:44
about yeah you don't know what's going to happen exactly I just I do want to I mean some
00:18:50
I think a lot of people know this story but if you don't I do just want to forewarn you that there's going to be
00:18:55
talk about a very intense sexual assault and rape yeah it is extremely graphic yeah very
00:19:01
graphic I did my best to make it a little less graphic but it's kind of impossible to take it fully away yeah so
00:19:08
and we got to tell the story for what it is so Clinton brought the car to a stop
00:19:11
under a cluster of trees and tian's got out leaving Allison completely alone now
00:19:16
in the car with her abductor and Clinton sexually assaulted Allison at this point
00:19:21
piece of [ __ ] and this was all while T was just like sitting on the hood of the
00:19:26
car my God just like got out of the the car knew that this was going to happen [ __ ] monsters and then when Clinton
00:19:34
was finished sexually assaulting Allison he called tian's into the car and Tion started to do the same thing also
00:19:40
sexually assaulted her but moments later he shouted no I can't do this and he got
00:19:45
out of the car and sat back down on the hood and just smoked a cigarette instead
00:19:50
of like trying to stop this at all what the [ __ ] he couldn't bring himself to continue assaulting her but he wasn't
00:19:55
going to be he wasn't going to be a good person and try to stop it no no so when
00:19:59
he finished his cigarette he hopped down from the hood and looked back at the car
00:20:03
and looking at Clinton he yelled fron oops Yeah not not his real name Clinton fron is his real name very
00:20:11
bright it was the first time that Allison had heard the name of her attacker so she just started repeating
00:20:16
it over and over again in her head like silently determined not to forget his name but almost as if he knew what she
00:20:23
was doing fron looked over at her and said if we take you into town now you're going to go to the police it was almost
00:20:29
like he could sense it she tried to assure him that she wasn't going to say anything to anybody but neither of them
00:20:35
would be convinced and one of them then said to the other what do you think um Nick would want us to do with her what
00:20:41
the [ __ ] um Nick Allison recognized as another name for Satan what the [ __ ] o is like a South
00:20:49
African um word it basically it's it's akin to Uncle for us it's like a sign of respect so umnik they were referring to
00:20:58
Satan Satan's also known as old Nick which I didn't realize that is weird but I was looking into it the other night or
00:21:04
like I don't mean weird I mean like that's different yeah it's different he so he looks at the other guy say do
00:21:08
think Uncle Satan would want us to do with her yeah he doesn't exist I don't think he's going to give you yeah
00:21:14
exactly I don't think he's going to weigh in here well when she's sitting there and she said she thought to
00:21:18
herself like what does Satan have to do with this what the [ __ ] are you talking
00:21:21
about but she didn't know what to do so tion's answered I think he wants us to kill her they're just having this ation
00:21:29
yes and they're just acting like like this is all normal like they're not acting freaked out or anything like that
00:21:36
like they're acting just like this is another Tu conversation yeah so fron then instructed Allison to get out of
00:21:43
the car and remove all of her clothing which she did because at this point she's just I would I would do the same
00:21:48
thing I was going to say I just don't know what else she would and remember he has a knife and the two of them have
00:21:52
just bured her so when she'd taken off all her clothes he gestured at the rings on her hand and told her to even take
00:21:58
those off and tition quickly grabbed them like snatched them out of her hands the next
00:22:03
thing she knew she was knocked to the ground and fron was choking her and they made her take off those rings so she
00:22:08
couldn't be identified mhm later she said I was I was surprised by how strong he had become this man knew what he was
00:22:15
doing and he was determined to do it and we will find out he knew what he was doing because this was not the first
00:22:20
time they had attacked somebody Allison managed to get a few words out while he was choking her just
00:22:26
begging him not to kill her but all Fran said was sorry while he continued violently choking her until she lost
00:22:33
Consciousness so he's standing like straddling over her choking her into unconsciousness and
00:22:40
apologizing but still doing it but like that adds such a layer of just I would like of Terror to this whole thing
00:22:47
apologizing while you're doing this yeah and just Contin stopping it's horrifying
00:22:54
so she regained Consciousness just a short time later and realized she was still on the ground and she's looking
00:22:59
around and she sees that she's surrounded by trash and broken bottles one of the men was crouched over her and
00:23:05
she couldn't see what he was doing all she saw was his arm swinging wildly back and forth in front of her face oh God
00:23:12
but then it occurred to her and she thought my God he's slashing my throat holy [ __ ] she couldn't see really what
00:23:20
was happening obviously cuz it's like she can't look down and see it and she didn't feel any pain in this moment but
00:23:26
she quote could hear the flesh split oh my God yep what this woman has and this isn't
00:23:37
this is just the tip of the iceberg oh this is just just that going through that I don't know what you do after that
00:23:44
but like oh my God it would later be determined that they had slit her throat 16
00:23:51
times and she was almost like she was nearly decapitated the fact that this woman is
00:23:58
aive five and what beasts truly and just [ __ ] wait but that's just Unthinkable this entire
00:24:08
crime is Unthinkable and it only gets worse humans man sometimes it's like what happened and N these two just
00:24:15
decided they wanted to do this one day they just decided that they wanted to do this together that's wildly [ __ ] up
00:24:21
came up with the idea and for two people to get together to do this kind of [ __ ]
00:24:25
always really it's scary enough throws me off it's scary enough when one person is able to do this kind of thing when
00:24:31
they can get a team together that all cuz it's like I and we've said this before in other things like the Hillside
00:24:36
stranglers and all the other kind of T teams that team up and do this like you know Ian and Myra hinley
00:24:43
um where does that conversation start that's that's the thing that you have to sit there and wonder start and where
00:24:48
does it start and what has already happened see the other person runs what has already happen to make you feel
00:24:53
confident that they're going to be cool with you bringing that's the thing because you have to feel real confident
00:24:57
to say to somebody do you think you'd want to just like randomly kill someone for Sport with me
00:25:02
yeah like you have to be very confident to do that I would think and it's like cuz otherwise like what are you going to
00:25:07
say like no I was just kidding like that then the person's going to be like you're that's crazy
00:25:13
by like I just I can't I never get over these things I don't know where you find
00:25:17
one person who's capable of this not that I'm looking and I then where do you find two yeah and how do they find each
00:25:23
other like what [ __ ] evil has to happen in the world for these people to be guided to each other seriously like
00:25:29
what ancient tomb was opened up that released the kind of evil that allows this to happen it's so true so she could
00:25:37
hear her flesh being split open and I don't know if I said this already but it was determined later that they had slid
00:25:42
her throat 16 times 16 times 16 times and that's not it suddenly the attack stopped and her attackers moved away and
00:25:50
she could hear the two men muttering and pacing around near her and then she turned on her stomach stomach in an
00:25:56
effort to protect herself and she said I tried to hold my breath but I realized I
00:26:00
had no control over my breathing I moved my hand up to cover my neck my whole hand disappeared into it but it seemed
00:26:07
to have worked the sound the sound was silenced oh my God I I can't like this is so horrifying
00:26:18
it's insane this poor woman people are depraved this poor woman so she lay on the ground now playing dead she's
00:26:25
completely she has the this woman has her throat has been slit 16 times to the point of near being decapitated and she
00:26:32
has the wherewithal to play dead that's the thing it's like this woman throughout this entire thing the the
00:26:40
sharp [ __ ] mind on Allison is un [ __ ] match and just the will to survive like
00:26:48
she's I can't say enough like I just I'm I'm a astounded I'm astounded I'm my flabs have been gasted there's not a
00:26:57
word to describe how incredible how incredible she is my Timbers have been shivered just I'm shook by all of the
00:27:04
above like she is to have that kind of brand I I can't even every statement you think of like I
00:27:11
was just going to say she's a force to be reckoned with not that's not enough that's not enough so she just lays there
00:27:17
on the ground pretending to be dead she can hear the two of them talking over her and they're talking in afro cons at
00:27:22
this point and they're rumaging around through her car and one of them asks the other they're like do you think she's
00:27:27
dead and the other one responded no one can survive that wrong except Allison wrong [ __ ] [ __ ] now a few
00:27:36
seconds later she heard the engine start and then rev a few times of course yeah
00:27:40
you got of course you got to as the car just revers swinging around kids yeah swinging around the car reversed and
00:27:47
drove back out onto the main road she was finally completely alone but she was obviously in very bad shape such bad
00:27:53
shape she didn't even know that she was in at this point and she was almost sure
00:27:57
she was going to die here so wanting to do anything she could to help the authorities catch her Killers she
00:28:03
started writing in the sand my God as she's laying there nearly decapitated and there's other stuff that I'm going
00:28:09
to get into that happened that she hasn't even realized yet but she's laying there writing in the sand she
00:28:16
wrote frons then underneath she wrote teens cuz I don't know if she knew how to spell tons or I mean she's she's in a
00:28:24
state right now yeah and then just before losing Consciousness She Wrote I love Mom oh my God and traced it in a
00:28:31
square so that it would be like very obvious oh oh my God the strength that that must
00:28:39
have taken her body is actively shutting down and you're trying and she's writing
00:28:44
down valuable information for investigators so that they can't do this again to someone else exactly like
00:28:50
exactly so later she said she would remember this moment with remarkable Clarity she said it was as if I'd cut
00:28:56
moing feeling like her spirit had left her body just floating she said as I hovered there I recognized the person
00:29:02
down below I knew it was me and I felt such a strong connection to that bleeding mangled girl lying on her
00:29:07
stomach wow and in that moment she said it occurred to her that she'd only just started her life cuz she was 27 years
00:29:14
old holy [ __ ] she hadn't achieved really any of the things that she hoped she would do so as thoughts just rised
00:29:21
through her head she suddenly caught a glimmer of lights out of the corner of her eye during the attack everything
00:29:26
obviously seemed so far away but it turned out that they actually weren't very far from the main road at all she
00:29:32
remembered the headlights were enough of an inspiration to try for me to try to reach a place where someone might at
00:29:37
least find me even if I was dead wow so despite her absolutely profound injuries
00:29:45
she managed to push herself up onto her knees how as soon as she did something felt very wrong she reached down to her
00:29:54
stomach and felt something she described as something tepid wet and slimy looking down she could see that
00:30:01
her intestines were exposed and hanging out of her stomach holy [ __ ] her intestines were literally falling out of
00:30:13
her stomach she said it was horrifying there was just so much of me on the outside I tried to scoop it all up with
00:30:21
my hands but everything just slithered away again because you're liter how do you survive this
00:30:28
how do you survive this oh I'm just like I'm holding my own stomach just sitting
00:30:33
here like I and how do you do that to somebody stab them to the point that their intestines are pouring out by the
00:30:42
way so in addition to her her throat being slashed 16 times they stabbed her in the abdomen over 50
00:30:51
times to the point that her intestines were now spilling out of her how were they ever she's alive how were they ever
00:30:58
let out oh yeah cuz spoiler sorry spoiler L but I think you should know right off the bat that they got let out
00:31:03
like they got let out how were they let out I I'll get to it I think they served
00:31:08
17 years maybe a little more and got out because there was uh it's similar to what happened here with the Constitution
00:31:15
where um life sentences became unconstitutional it was it was I think it was literally the same year 2004
00:31:21
we'll get to it but yeah yeah holy [ __ ] yeah so she still crazy she must have just been in complete shock and there
00:31:31
must have been like so much adrenaline coursing through her veins because of this like that's what your body does so
00:31:36
she still wasn't experiencing any pain but the sight of her intestines and the considerable wound in her stomach
00:31:42
unnerved her and for the first time the gravity of the situation struck her yeah
00:31:47
so she starts groping around with one hand just trying to find something cuz she she had taken off clothes so she
00:31:53
knew maybe they were right there they had left her shirt sock I know so she found that lying in the sand and used it
00:32:01
to tie around her abdomen just to keep her insides in place literally tourniquets herself [ __ ]
00:32:08
to keep her intestines in place my God and then she just started crawling toward the road all the while debris and
00:32:17
bits of broken glass are cutting her knees and hands open as she's crawling and her intestines are still spilling
00:32:24
out of her and she's having to like oh and she's basically decapitated for she yeah exactly in in case you forgot she's
00:32:31
also nearly decapitated and that's not hyperbolic no like medically she's literally medically like her half of her
00:32:38
thyroid was sitting outside of her her neck I I swear to you the next time I have a
00:32:47
[ __ ] complaint oh some dumbass complaint punch me in the [ __ ] face I probably won't do that because my God
00:32:55
but I'll remind you of this story my God the the perspective that this will give
00:33:03
you is beyond it's it's beyond I get to the point like I got to the point reading this I was telling Drew about it
00:33:10
when I was like putting it together I was like telling him about it and I just got to the point where I was like I
00:33:13
don't even have words left that's thing like you really don't I don't even have words left to describe this story
00:33:18
describe this woman like yeah it's Tru Unthinkable I can't believe what she survived and what she was able to walk
00:33:26
away like not walk away from but you know what I mean yeah so badly injured and only having one free hand at this
00:33:32
point because one of them is uh keeping her neck together oh and realistically only she doesn't even have a free hand
00:33:37
cuz she's keeping her intestines together and trying to keep her head together so her progress was slow and
00:33:44
exhausting because again her body is shutting down but when she reached the clearing where the attack had first
00:33:49
started she collapsed on a pile of rocks and felt like she couldn't go any further because I you can't imagine what
00:33:55
this had to have taken and she's rapidly losing blood at the same time so then it
00:34:00
occurred to her though she wasn't even thinking of herself in this moment she said it occurred to her that if anybody
00:34:06
found her there like so far away from the scene there would be a large trail of blood behind her and they would know
00:34:11
that she struggled and suffered and she didn't want that for her friends and family Allison are you a real are you a
00:34:21
person she's a like a saint like what are you she is a goddess I'm so impressed with with her mind to think
00:34:29
like I'm just like what like that mind of hers and that like I don't know I don't know what what she is but like
00:34:36
that that mind and soul is something that I I don't think you come across often no to have the capacity to think
00:34:43
about the reaction of your friends and family and like just that you wouldn't want them to be that heartbroken and
00:34:50
know you what you went through wow insane like in a good way yeah so the in at this point was taking too long and
00:34:59
she knew that if she was going to get to the road she had to move faster so it took some time but eventually she did
00:35:05
manage to get to her feet but as soon as she was upright everything went black of
00:35:10
course now this moment was deeply confusing because she hadn't lost Consciousness she was still completely
00:35:15
conscious but for some re some reason everything was completely wrong she said my head I realized had flopped backwards
00:35:23
and almost rested between my shoulder blads oh my God she said I hadn't I expected to feel something but was
00:35:30
completely taken aback when my hands seemed to almost disappear inside my body as if I had swallowed myself so
00:35:37
what most likely happened there Elena and I was talking to Elena a little bit about the details of this something had
00:35:42
to have happened where the nerves that like help give you sight were so messed up in that moment that when she flopped
00:35:48
backwards they weren't like maybe registering backwards like pinch the occipital or like you know any kind of
00:35:55
nerve that makes it so you can see and the lights lit literally just went out because there was a kink in the line
00:36:00
insane like that is and when she says her head is resting between her shoulder blad oh my god when
00:36:07
you said I'm literally like I keep grabbing my neck CU I'm just like oh God like I can't that's like like if you put
00:36:14
your head back and look at the sky hers was almost in between your shoulder blades you couldn't physically do that
00:36:20
because you're not decapitated I ask my kids to look up at the ceiling when I wash their hair in the bath and they act
00:36:27
like I asking them I've seen that to do just acrobatics the Lords work and this what yeah oh so that's when she real cuz
00:36:37
that's so that's why she had one free hand at that point because she didn't realize how bad it was while she's
00:36:41
crawling so when she was crawling she was crawling with one hand the other hand was keeping her intestines together
00:36:46
now at this point she tries to stand and that's what happen so now she has no free hands now she's got to hold her
00:36:51
head she's literally holding her head and her abdomen so yeah my God holding her head forward with one hand and
00:36:57
pressing her intestines into her abdomen with the other both if you could see know a picture of us right now I am
00:37:04
clasping my neck with one hand and I have the other hand on top of my head stabilizing my own head holding holding
00:37:11
her stomach and the top of her head and we are both just nodding at each other being like wow this is what she had to
00:37:16
do but with everything spilling out of her and this is just listening to this I am holding all of my body together yeah
00:37:25
so now she's got that's the other thing now she like she's lost all this Blood she's nearly decapitated her intestines
00:37:31
are spilling out and now she's standing and has to have the balance to walk putting one foot in front of the other
00:37:38
keep the lights on I could barely do that and I I'm fully here yeah so she very slowly swung One Foot In Front of
00:37:46
the other just slowly moving in the direction of the main road she said at various points she felt like she was
00:37:50
just going to lose Consciousness again and after what felt like an hour she considered giving up but when she raised
00:37:56
her eyes forward she realized she made it to the road Allison but [ __ ] yeah Allison now she realized she'd reached
00:38:03
her destination which was incredible remarkable in like Beyond but now she needed to get somebody's attention every
00:38:12
fiber of her being just wanted to lay down right there where she was on the pavement but she was on the side of the
00:38:18
road at this point and she knew that by lying on the side of the road she might not be seen missed yeah exactly so
00:38:25
instead she took even more steps and made it to the middle of the road and just lay horizontally down across the
00:38:32
road ensuring that a driver coming in either direction would have to stop or intentionally drive around her wow but
00:38:39
literally thought that was like I'm just going to first of all laying in the middle of the road horrifying scary she
00:38:44
didn't even think of that at that point All Natural Instincts she didn't even think of that she just said they'll have
00:38:49
to swerve around me or they'll they'll see me and they'll stop stop cuz she's also thinking like people are humans
00:38:58
yeah they're not just going to run me over luckily nobody runs her over but people aren't humans but I'm surprised
00:39:04
after what she has been through that she can still trust in humans enough to be like honestly they won't just run me
00:39:09
over honestly you know so at this point she's just relieved to finally rest this
00:39:14
has taken everything and more out of her so she laid down for an in indeterminate
00:39:20
amount of time until finally she heard the hum of an engine from off in the distance and the hum grew closer and
00:39:26
closer until it finally stopped and she could see the headlights from the car bearing down on her and it was just
00:39:32
sitting idle in the road but the driver wasn't getting out she said I frantically waved as fast as I could I
00:39:37
wanted whoever it was to see that I was alive and needed help but the driver didn't make any moves to get out of the
00:39:43
vehicle and for a moment a terrible thought flashed through her mind what if this is them what if this is them
00:39:49
returning to make sure I'm dead luckily it was not but what felt like 15 or maybe even 20 minutes later the engine
00:39:56
revved slight and the car just drove around her and continued down the road whoever that was how do you live
00:40:04
with yourself whoever that was I hope you stub your toe every morning I hope you've never had a good coffee since I
00:40:11
hope you have every [ __ ] tastic thing happened to you every [ __ ] day I hope it's always raining on your side of the
00:40:20
street I hope that you don't like rain I'm without words I I wish you the worst rarely am I speechless person who just
00:40:31
sat there for however long they did because obviously she had no concept of time at this took a look at her I wish
00:40:38
you the very worst which is exactly what you deserve all you had to do is call the
00:40:44
police or just get out and comfort the woman in the Middle Road like hello police that's what like call the police
00:40:50
you have and wait all you have to do is uh be a [ __ ] fellow human like holy [ __ ] and you did you just like go have
00:40:57
dinner with your family after that who knows like what' you do all the rest of your day who knows did you tell someone
00:41:04
did you go somewhere and just be like oh yeah I saw this crazy thing you hope that that person called the police but
00:41:08
it doesn't sound like they did Jesus so her heart is just broken as she's watching her what she feels is her only
00:41:14
hope drive away but yet the more she thought about it she had the wherewithal to have compassion everybody the more
00:41:22
she started to consider why a person might not get out under these circumstances she thought perhaps it was
00:41:27
a woman on her own who was scared to get out of her car maybe the driver sensed danger and thought it was an ambush and
00:41:33
thought I was some sort of decoy she still was able to have compassion for this person and come up with like G like
00:41:40
J not that it's by by no means okay that that person but valid reason to come up
00:41:44
with valid reasons too to like excuse them of their actions is this girl just I mean I I just don't
00:41:52
have words anymore I've lost vocabulary words for what she is this right here is
00:41:56
an etal Optimist TR and just like she's like oh you know what I'll give you the excuses yeah that I hope you needed yeah
00:42:05
so as she just lay there in the middle of the road nearly decapitated intestines filling out she just
00:42:11
considered all the reasons why the driver had left and then she started hearing the sounds of another
00:42:15
approaching car and then she heard voices when she opened her eyes there was a woman standing over her who just
00:42:22
started screaming when she saw Allison's injuries which you honestly can't even blame this woman I think that was just
00:42:27
like an instinctual response I don't blame this woman in the least because I know that was probably awful for Alison
00:42:36
but which like I feel awful about but like I I mean you can't conjure this image in your mind and to see a human a
00:42:43
fellow woman like that lying in the road I can't that would destroy me no it's like horrifying she said later it was
00:42:51
the kind of scream you hear in a cheap in some cheap horror movie and then I realized how awful I must have looked so
00:42:57
the women's screams eventually stopped and Allison started to hear other voices and then she saw the face of a young man
00:43:03
who was a literal [ __ ] hero knel beside her this man forever he looked her directly in the eyes and was
00:43:09
talking but she couldn't really understand what he was saying cuz she's going in and out of Consciousness at
00:43:14
this point and she opened her mouth and tried to speak but obviously no sound came out and the young man responded
00:43:20
telling her just to relax as best as she could and reassured her that help was on
00:43:24
the way I love this man it was too 2:45 a.m. by the time she was discovered in the street meaning this entire course of
00:43:32
events from her abduction to her Discovery had taken no more than 90 minutes oh my God all of that happened
00:43:42
abduction to this point 90 minutes that is an hour and a half everybody I cannot I can't conceive of
00:43:54
that they were able to do that to her in minutes that's how much her life changed
00:43:59
frenzied that attack oh absolutely absolutely and even more badass of her mhm you got all the way out there in
00:44:08
that little of time yes and it probably which to her felt like hours oh I think it felt like days she was zo out there
00:44:14
yeah yeah in this in this [ __ ] economy like in this in this situation she's just zooting out to the road yep
00:44:23
holy [ __ ] yep now Tiana know that wow incredible 90 minutes wow so tion different than
00:44:32
tion this this is a different person elard had been out with friends at a bar that night and was driving just driving
00:44:38
home around 2:30 a.m. when he came upon Allison lying there in the street he was
00:44:43
a Veterinary student so he was familiar with anatomy and immediately started checking her Vital Signs and he also
00:44:50
recognized the severity of her wounds and did everything he could to minimize any further risk he gently tucked an
00:44:57
exposed piece of thyroid back into her throat and then using his own shirt he applied pressure to her neck to slow the
00:45:05
bleeding by then other cars had stopped and there was a great deal of activity in the road other drivers were directing
00:45:11
traffic around them somebody brought a flashlight to tion oh thank goodness people yeah people people peed in a good
00:45:18
way now so there was only one people who peopled in the bad way outside of the attackers obvious and even Allison was
00:45:23
able to give them even Allison gave them the excuse so somebody brought him a flashlight and he was able to get a good
00:45:29
look at her wounds seeing for the first time that her intestines were exposed he
00:45:34
said later I was utterly amazed that this person was still alive considering this second major injury wow so while
00:45:40
they waited for an ambulance tion continued talking to Alison both to keep her calm and conscious until the
00:45:46
ambulance arrived and meanwhile one of the other drivers massaged her legs to keep the the circulation going my god oh
00:45:53
I love this I love this part like this is I'm like okay this is where the humanity is at oh man she saw the she
00:46:00
saw the opposite ends of the spectrum yep that night yep so they could finally hear the siren of the ambulance wailing
00:46:06
in the distance but it still seemed so far away but finally the EMTs were beside them and they loaded Allison onto
00:46:13
the stretcher and into the ambulance and instinctually Tion followed them in and
00:46:18
climbed into the ambulance oh tion under the circumstances nobody bothered to ask
00:46:23
what his relation was he rode all the way to the Hospital holding her hand the entire way I hope tion became a vet yes
00:46:32
I hope he became something that cares for something clearly that is his nature that is your soul sir
00:46:39
yeah incredible beautiful it wasn't until they arrived to the hospital and a doctor appeared that anybody even paid
00:46:45
any attention to him and they just ushered him out of the way because she had to be brought to surgery he finally
00:46:51
let go of Allison's hand but not before he leaned in and assured her he was not going to leave her alone he would he
00:46:57
would be there when she woke up oh my God yes I know I love I love this years later Allison would credit her survival
00:47:05
in large part to him who she described as her Lifeline that night my God I know so by the time the surgeon arrived at
00:47:13
the hospital the other doctors had managed really only to get Allison's name and her mother's phone number
00:47:18
before she went she lost Consciousness again based on the extent of her trauma the surgeon Dr vodia an Angelov was
00:47:27
stunned that she had even managed to stay alive oh yeah after checking her vital signs he did his best not to
00:47:33
reveal his surprise to the patient who was just slipping in and out of Consciousness and according to Dr anelo
00:47:39
Allison looked like a quote creature straight out of a Dickens novel she looked like a corpse cuz you have to
00:47:44
think the amount of blood she lost she must be gray and just yeah dead literally like on the brink of death
00:47:53
yeah once they cleaned her off and moved her into surgery they could see the extent of the wounds Dr Angelov said her
00:47:59
neck had been split open almost from ear to ear I've seen many injuries as a doctor but the severe cruelty of the
00:48:06
wounds really shocked me wow her thyroid had been sliced nearly in half and had tition not thought to push it back into
00:48:14
her throat she would have died ton if he hadn't done that she would have died this is teamwork her larynx had been
00:48:22
separated from her trachea oh my most of the muscles intended in the front and sides of her neck had been sliced and
00:48:29
just retracted into the base of her skull holy [ __ ] and the wound to her abdomen was equally horrific like we
00:48:35
said her intestines had been exposed and you probably weren't even thinking now they're covered in sand dirt and other
00:48:41
debris I actually as soon as you said she was crawling in the sand my first thought was like oh my God her
00:48:47
intestines are covered and just holy [ __ ] but her intestines had also sustained several stab wounds her actual
00:48:55
intestines which is so [ __ ] so bad oh yeah you could go into um septic in a SE
00:49:01
in a incredible that she did I'm astounded she did yeah Additionally the stab wounds to her stomach had caused
00:49:08
her abdominal muscles to collapse around the area of that wound wow but after 3 and 1 half hours of cleaning and
00:49:15
stitching wounds they finally had stabilized Allison and she was taken to the Intensive Care
00:49:20
Unit while those while the surgeons worked to close Allison's wound other hospital staff had contacted her poor
00:49:26
mother Claire oh I can't imagine getting that phone call my God but Claire started a kind of phone tree to inform
00:49:33
everybody in Allison's life of what had happened and finally when she was out of
00:49:38
surgery the family was allowed to see her and CLA rushed to the hospital to be right by her side and when she entered
00:49:43
Allison's room she said she was shocked by what she saw CLA said she looked frightened she was filthy her face was
00:49:50
swollen her eyes were filled with blood and bulged out of her head and she had tubes and pipes everywhere oh my God
00:49:56
there was a cage over her lower body keeping blankets off of her and there was this massive bandage across her
00:50:02
throat imagine seeing her baby like that like somebody did that to your baby there wouldn't be a safe
00:50:12
[ __ ] corner of this Earth in the Galaxy no just you can't even you could go light yours away and I would
00:50:19
travel there and find you out the atmosphere without me following like that's I feel
00:50:26
immensely for her mother for having to see that so despite her injuries Allison was awake and did her best to Mom
00:50:35
because she's got to entertain her visitors because she's a good Hostess as well yeah that's Alison laying in the
00:50:41
hospital under all all those circumstances and is like hi Mom hey the fact she could even [ __ ] talk is like
00:50:47
her larynx was separated from her trachea yeah yeah and she's like hey Mom hey so she tried to explain she she
00:50:56
tried to sit there and explain what had happened to her mom but her voice was too horse to say much gee I wonder why
00:51:02
but she just insisted that the police needed to catch the men who had done this to her and it took more than a few
00:51:07
minutes before she realized that in addition to her mother there was another young man in the room it was tion tion
00:51:13
it was tion the man who stayed with her while they waited for the ambulance so she just thanked him profusely and did
00:51:19
her best to hug him oh my God outside the room the attending physician Dr Coleman detailed the extent of Al wounds
00:51:27
to her family explaining that her head like I said had almost been severed from her body she had also remember been
00:51:34
sexually assaulted oh yeah he said I fought in the Rhian Bush war and I've never seen anyone with injuries like
00:51:40
this survive those wounds were gross beyond belief my goodness he explained that her Outlook was not good because
00:51:47
even if she survived the first few days there was still an incredibly high risk of infection from all the debris found
00:51:54
along her intestines and the injury to her throat was equally serious it was very possible for the wound to develop a
00:52:01
thick scar tissue that could potentially choke her Airway holy [ __ ] so even though they were able to get everything
00:52:08
back in order think of that scar tissue could have formed and like the inside and literally like pushed back into her
00:52:15
Airway yeah my God yep you don't even think of that no although the Outlook was Grim Claire was confident that her
00:52:22
daughter would survive she said she was confident that God had not allowed her daughter to make it this far only to
00:52:27
take her a few days later wow within a few days visitors started to show up to Allison's room every few hours including
00:52:33
of course her father her brother and a ton of friends and family and when she was finally stable she was visited by
00:52:39
two police officers now that she was out of danger and she was able to speak more
00:52:44
clearly she described her attackers to the police and told them that their names were frons and tians fortunately
00:52:51
one of the officers Nadia swanpool thought that she actually might have had an interaction with these two men at a
00:52:57
shopping mall a few days earlier which was confirmed the following day when Allison identified them both in a photo
00:53:04
lineup holy [ __ ] what are the odds cuz these are they're just out here being [ __ ] menaces in every way you can
00:53:10
think a few days later another police officer uh Melvin humle showed up at Allison's bedside and he explained that
00:53:18
he was now the lead detective on the case and wanted to inform her that they had arrested fron dutoit and tion's
00:53:24
Krueger and they'd found her car wow they were already out on bail pending a trial for another rape charge
00:53:33
so humle assured Allison that neither man would be eligible for bail now so they attacked her when they were already
00:53:40
out on bail for raping another woman so they're just [ __ ] monsters monsters pure monsters monsters by that point
00:53:48
Allison had been in the hospital for almost 2 weeks a news about her attack had spread throughout the count the
00:53:53
country the Press was obviously eager to talk to her had been harassing Claire which I'm like really like come on yeah
00:54:00
day and night they're harassing her in most cases you would assume somebody in Allison's position would probably just
00:54:05
want to avoid talking about this ordeal at all and not want to be anywhere near strangers you totally understand that
00:54:11
you would yeah you'd give her every Grace in the world but she felt compelled to tell her story she was
00:54:16
still in such a fragile condition though that interviews had to wait but she was
00:54:20
willing to give them holy [ __ ] just to make sure that like every word got out the story was told yeah so she remained
00:54:27
in the hospital obviously for several more weeks and during that time her attackers were arrested and prosecuted
00:54:32
for her attempted murder which honestly they should have just been prosecuted for murder because that's what this
00:54:37
would have been that's I hate attemp we've gone through that before but like this is murder yeah this is murder yep
00:54:45
they walked away from somebody they after decapitating her and slashing her throat 16 times and stabbing her in the
00:54:53
abdomen upwards of 50 times exposing her intestines after raping her violently yep and choking her as well to the point
00:55:02
of unconsciousness if you tell me that is not murder that's stupid as [ __ ] no that's that is that is murder but the
00:55:11
but Allison's just stronger than they are she's just better than them and she should not be punished for being
00:55:16
stronger than they are exactly because it's like that's not that's not aemp that's not like oops I didn't do it
00:55:22
right no they did it right yeah Allison's just stronger than that she's just an Aly it's like they did it they
00:55:28
they overdid it in fact they overkilled her they did and for them to not consider that like they're needed to be
00:55:35
some kind of break from precedence yeah where they sat there and said this is murder because this case a break from
00:55:41
precedence doesn't mean that this is not murder y let's be real here it drives me
00:55:46
[ __ ] nuts it it has always pissed me attemped murder drives me nuts to be him with but when it's this flagrant it's a
00:55:56
whole it's like it I don't there needs to be a different precedent there just needs to be there absolutely does cuz
00:56:02
this makes me so angry yeah [ __ ] so she's in the hospital she's reading updates in the papers and she was
00:56:08
surprised by how quote disheveled and terrified they both looked in the photographs because when they were
00:56:14
around her they were acting completely normal but now they look like [ __ ] it's
00:56:17
like you're not scared you're scared you got caught the Press had dubbed the pair
00:56:21
the Nord Hoke Nord Hoke rippers which is like don't give them a nickname and of course
00:56:27
there was reports that they claimed to be satanists to Allison the claims of Satanism seemed like a ploy to lessen
00:56:32
the severity of what they had done like they weren't acting of their own free will when they very much were I am 100%
00:56:38
with her on that yeah 100% now if friends and tans had hoped to influence the court with their claims of Satan you
00:56:45
know Satan's influence only the Press seemed interested in their religious or spiritual beliefs the judge and the
00:56:51
prosecutor could give less of a couldn't give less of a [ __ ] they had no interest
00:56:55
in their beliefs and remained focused on the cruelty and the utter brutality of their crimes after multiple days the two
00:57:02
finally went before the court where they pleaded guilty to eight charges including kidnapping rape and attempted
00:57:08
murder during all of this she learn Allison learned various things about her attackers from the papers fron she
00:57:15
learned was the son of a police officer oh which uh naturally came as a surprise
00:57:20
to her wow the son of a police officer she also learned that they had attacked uh another woman on December 4th but
00:57:29
according to fron the urge to kill her had passed once he raped her wow so he would have killed that
00:57:35
woman it was just the urge passed when he was done assaulting her wow from their statements in court she learned
00:57:42
that they had just been out drinking earlier in the day and decided to prowl the streets looking for a woman to
00:57:48
attack tion said we wanted a nice car and a nice woman our goal was to find the woman take her car kidnap her rape
00:57:55
her and then kill her and he said this like he was just like rattling off items from a grocery list
00:58:00
well like what we plan to do then like yeah I was just going to go to the bar I was going to run to the grocery store
00:58:05
after I grab like apples bananas and oranges yeah but he's like we're going to kidnap a woman rape her and then kill
00:58:12
her what like what you just sat around and shot the [ __ ] about that and we like
00:58:19
this you know what we should do tonight instead of literally anything else what I can't I I yeah not in my
00:58:30
wildest like I my brain just will not even attempt to comprehend that no so both men seemed arrogant and cruel to
00:58:39
Allison and me but she was determined not to let them dominate her life going forward the judge did sentence them both
00:58:45
to life in prison without the possibility for perole and Allison was released from the hospital with a new
00:58:50
appreciation for life and a determination to tell her story of complete resilience and the years
00:58:57
following her attack she focused on recovery and on processing the trauma that she experienced she said the one
00:59:03
thing I do have control over is choice I have the freedom to choose how I will respond to it I have the choice to make
00:59:09
of it what I must and learn from it wow she also recognized the role that she played in her own Survival focusing on
00:59:15
her will to survive rather than the randomness of luck she was like nah I did that [ __ ] which I love Yeah cuz that
00:59:21
was not luck that was that was 100% she is a wrong anomaly of nature yes that I don't
00:59:30
know if there's another like how many Alison are there in the world one how many Almas are there in the world truly
00:59:38
so she told her reporter in 2006 believing that I could live the night of my attack and seeing the miraculous
00:59:43
result of that belief is a great achievement for me like that's an understatement you can do [ __ ]
00:59:48
anything mhm once she had physically healed she started giving interviews and speaking publicly about her experience
00:59:53
and the path to recovery she said said when I first started speaking publicly I noticed that most people were interested
00:59:59
in my amazing survival and physical recovery but as the years have gone by I have found more and more people have
01:00:05
been Have Become interested in my mental and spiritual Rejuvenation which I could
01:00:09
imagine in time she became a symbol of Hope and resilience to countless young women across South Africa who themselves
01:00:17
had experienced sexual violence but were denied Justice or were unable to tell their stories damn and it's those women
01:00:23
that Allison wanted to make a difference with and they were they became the central premise of her story she said
01:00:29
you must know that you are special and value yourself it's what got me through my attack wow mhm and that was and her
01:00:36
she said she grew up being told you're special pulled into the other room and said like you're special that stayed
01:00:42
with her that's stuck that was a foundation that her mother laid wow yeah I love that that came back around yep we
01:00:49
do that yeah that's amazing now this I love in 1997 her life changed dramatically for a second time in a good
01:00:56
way when she married teeny Botha they met years earlier and had lost touch actually but they reconnected at a party
01:01:04
one night where they ran into each other unexpectedly oh I love it so they got married in 1997 February 1997 and
01:01:11
despite being told that she would likely be un unable to have children due to her
01:01:14
abdominal injury she has since given birth to two children holy [ __ ] she said maybe I survived because I was meant to
01:01:22
bring these two boys into the world for them to grow up and to become special people people and what makes that even
01:01:27
more amazing and special is that during the attack one of the men said to the other one while they were stabbing her
01:01:34
almost 50 times in her intestines and abdomen they said they were purposely trying to mutilate her reproductive
01:01:39
organs and Destroy them this is a two-pronged response one how [ __ ] diabolically evil do you have to be to
01:01:47
be purposely mutilating someone's reproductive organs while in the course of killing them on another level like
01:01:53
just cuz that's the other thing they're trying they thought she was dead so they
01:01:57
were just doing that adding insult to injury like literally blatantly and then two for her to go on to have two
01:02:05
beautiful kids despite every odd despite that [ __ ] [ __ ] being like I like trying to mutilate her reproductive
01:02:13
system and then a doctor telling her like truthfully like with all the injuries that this may not happen for
01:02:20
you that is a miracle what two miracles what is this story like this story is like
01:02:28
unbelievable this story is straight up inspiration yeah yeah if you to do the most menial things at this point like
01:02:37
I'm like this story is inspiration to wake up and do my workout routine to do anything wake up like it's literally
01:02:44
like holy [ __ ] wild now despite her miraculous Survival Story and seemingly indomitable Spirit Alis Allison spent
01:02:53
years of emotional turmoil fighting to keep her attackers in prison which is [ __ ] that she even had to do that
01:02:59
[ __ ] yeah that's disgraceful because even though they were both sentenced to life in prison I touched on this in the
01:03:04
beginning they had no possibility of parole as early as 2012 there was talk of one of or one or both of them being
01:03:12
released and people were saying they had earned their release how in 2012 a new legislation was enacted in South Africa
01:03:19
that allowed for any prisoner who received a life sentence prior to 2004 to apply for parole after serving at
01:03:26
least 13 years of their sentence by that time frons and tons had been in prison for 17 years so they were eligible for
01:03:33
this the potential release of these [ __ ] wads or really any potential Killers came as a shock to Allison of course she
01:03:41
told a reporter in 2012 2012 can you imagine if just 100 lifers are released into society who are not rehabilitated
01:03:48
yeah like what what do you what do is supposed to be all about Rehabilitation if you have already sentenced somebody
01:03:55
to life in prison without the possibility they can't be rehabilitated you've said exactly you've said exactly
01:04:00
that and allowed back into society because you are literally saying they should never be allowed back into
01:04:05
society but now we're just like reneging but now we're being like well that wording makes me sad so like let's let's
01:04:10
change the wording like like nope that doesn't change what you did that doesn't change that you sentenced them to be in
01:04:17
prison for life cuz you didn't believe they could come out what the [ __ ] is that but now all of a sudden we're being
01:04:22
like yeah yeah totally cuz it's fine we decided that's unconstitution when I said life I meant a handful of years
01:04:28
when I said life I meant like less than a than a whole adolescent yeah the [ __ ]
01:04:33
like they can't even drive yet yeah so after hearing the news that they had both applied for parole now Allison
01:04:39
immediately spoke out against their release and used her platform to urge the government to keep them both in
01:04:44
prison good for her her activism successfully kept them both in prison for another decade after the
01:04:49
correctional services Act passed in 2012 but in the summer of 2023 so recently she received yet another shock when
01:04:58
without any notice to her both men were released on parole the fact that one they released them at all and two that
01:05:05
they did not notify her is [ __ ] shameful like she what if she wanted to make plans to leave the country that's
01:05:11
shameful because I would want to leave the [ __ ] country if those men had done what they did to her and were now
01:05:17
just out just bopping around you think they give a [ __ ] about being on parole no they literally took her intestines
01:05:23
out of her body and nearly decapitated her and intentionally tried to destroy her reproductive organs and you don't
01:05:29
tell her that they're back out on the streets quote unquote on parole that's the least you could do what does are you
01:05:35
[ __ ] kidding me in a message on social media she addressed the news saying the day I hoped and prayed for
01:05:40
would never come when I was asked how you feel if they ever get parole my immediate answer was always I'm hoping
01:05:46
I'll never find out but today I did wow now I'm sure them being released on parole caused this next thing I'm about
01:05:54
to tell you more tragedy struck when in September of 2024 Allison suffered a massive brain aneurysm and was rushed to
01:06:03
a hospital in Cape Town the surgeons were able to stop the bleeding in her brain and they were able to relieve the
01:06:08
pressure that was caused by a buildup of fluid but she was expected to face yet another long road to recovery oh my God
01:06:15
no stranger to adversity she met the challenge head on of course she did cuz she's Alm Botha and she's been exceeding
01:06:21
her surgeon's expectations Alm Botha but her mother CLA released a state in October saying I'm beside myself that my
01:06:28
child who was afflicted by a second death blow has exceeded all expectations and has lived talked and remembered and
01:06:34
it and I agree with you that the stress of having them out absolutely I guarantee you had something to do with
01:06:40
that absolutely whoever signed that stress must have been immense immense to the kind of stress I can't even quantify
01:06:49
with words we'll never know thoughts or creative writing I can do it in any space no who whoever signed the papers
01:06:57
that let them out of prison to be asham WR I don't know how you lay your head on
01:07:01
a pillow at night but yeah despite their positive outlook and determination the medical emergency put a huge financial
01:07:08
burden on this small family Allison doesn't have any medical insurance and has accured a significant amount of debt
01:07:14
since undergoing the surgery course that's how the medical system works and by now and as of now the uh Botha family
01:07:20
is relying on the generous support of public donations made to a trust account set up with her
