Early in the morning on June 23, 1993, the Manassas city police received a call reporting a man had been assaulted by his wife, and officers were needed at Prince William Hospital. But when officers arrived at the hospital, they learned this would be far from a routine call. The victim of this assault, John Wayne Bobbitt, had his penis cut off; and the severed penis was still missing. Did Lorena Bobbitt slice off her husband's penis in a fit of jealous rage, or was there something far more sinister going on which caused her to snap?
