In January 2004, what should have been a routine child handover turned into a calculated, near-fatal act of violence that would shock the United States and expose the terrifying realities of domestic abuse...
Teri Jendusa-Nicolai, a mother of 2 from Wisconsin, had already endured years of control and violence at the hands of her ex-husband, David Larsen. But nothing could have prepared her for what was waiting that day. As she stepped inside his home to collect their children, she was ambushed... beaten repeatedly with a baseball bat in a sustained, brutal attack that left her barely conscious.
What followed was not just violence, but methodical cruelty.
David bound Teri with duct tape, forced her into a plastic bin, packed it with snow, and sealed her inside. Then, as temperatures plummeted well below freezing, he loaded the container into his truck and began driving across state lines. Trapped in darkness, gravely injured, and slowly freezing, Teri somehow managed to access her phone and make a desperate 911 call... but when the 911 operator didn't take the call seriously, it was only a matter of time, before things got even worse.
