Ep. 63: The Mothman - Terror in Point Pleasant

Episode 46 - The Survival of Alison Botha: Refusing to Be Erased

Send us Fan Mail [https://www.buzzsprout.com/2536916/fan_mail/new] On December 18, 1994, Alison Botha parked in her driveway like she had done so many times before. She had no idea what was waiting behind her. Kidnapped. Brutally attacked. Left for dead on a deserted road outside Port Elizabeth, South Africa — her throat cut, her body nearly destroyed — Alison did the unthinkable. She survived. In this episode, we examine one of the most extraordinary survival stories ever recorded. From the attack and investigation to the controversial parole of her attackers decades later, we explore not just the crime — but the resilience that followed. This is not a story about how she died. It’s a story about how she lived. 🎧 Episode XLVI — Out Now. If this episode moved you, please consider leaving a rating or written review on Apple or Spotify.
