The wheels of justice have turned at a slow and very painful pace for a Spokane rape survivor. Her attacker broke more than a dozen bones in her body, sexually assaulted her, and left her to suffocate in a tied plastic bag. Because her wrists were so badly broken, she was able to escape the ties and call for help. Her rapist got away with the crime for nearly 20 years until the DNA he was forced to give after a felony property crime charge tied him to the vicious assault. For the first time, the victim is sharing her story.
