Left For Dead: Alison Botha and the Ripper Rapists (Part 1)
On December 18, 1994 around 1:00am, 27 year old Alison Botha was returning to her home after spending an entire day out with friends. She pulled into a parking spot and turned off her lights and engine, happy to be home…when suddenly, somebody opened her driver side door and pressed a knife to her throat. “Move over or I’ll kill you”, the figure said – and so would begin a story of unimaginable horror. This is truly one of the most grotesque cases I’ve heard of, so tread lightly.
Trigger Warnings: Rape, sexual assault
