In 1986, during what was meant to be a peaceful morning, Ellen Halbert was alone at her home in Austin, TX when she went upstairs to take a shower. After finishing and wrapping herself in a towel, she noticed something in the corner of her eye: a man standing in her bathroom, gripping a meat cleaver. Over the next hour, Ellen endured unspeakable horrors that most people couldn't fathom. Her story of surviving a home invasion has become a chilling tale that has shaped her life and influenced others in their efforts to prevent women from falling victim to similar scenarios. In her own words, she stated, "I survived because I wasn't ready to go."
