Summary

In the early morning hours of June 24th, 2012, 27-year-old Danielle Thomas called 911 from her apartment in Queens. She didn't speak directly to the call taker, but she could be heard pleading for help in the background. Her boyfriend, Jason Bohn, was refusing to let her leave. Two days later, Danielle's body was found in her bathtub, covered in bruises and marks. Jason had disappeared, leaving a note on her body, apologizing for what he'd done. Investigators soon learned that Ivy-League lawyer Jason Bohn had been abusing women for years, and that Danielle's murder was the culmination of months of emotional and physical abuse.
