Summary

On this week's episode I'm telling Russ about the remarkable survival story of Ellen Halbert a.k.a The Ninja in The Attic Case. Ellen was just going about her morning routine when a man suddenly appeared in her bathroom and proceeded to brutalize her for over an hour. The details of this case are insane and definitely is deserving of a trigger warning. She fought for her life and miraculously survived! Not only did she help police catch her attacker but used her story to make huge changes in Texas legislation! She is a true badass! Moral of this story... if you can make your mess your message you just may be able to transform the world around you.
