some people survive. others refuse to be victims. in 1978, 15-year-old mary vincent was left for dead—her arms hacked off with a hatchet, her body thrown off a 30-foot cliff. but she didn't die. she packed her severed limbs with dirt to stop the bleeding. she climbed back up that cliff. she walked nearly three miles, naked, drenched in blood, holding up the raw stumps of her arms so she wouldn't bleed out. cars passed. no one stopped. until one couple finally did. her attacker, lawrence singleton, served just eight years in prison. when he walked past her in court, he whispered: "i'll finish the job when i get out." mary vanished. she lived in fear. but she never stopped fighting. singleton? he did it again. he murdered a woman named roxanne hayes in 1997. this time, there was no early release—he was sentenced to death. mary? she rebuilt her life. she went to college. she had kids. she became an artist. she testified against him at trial, ensuring everyone knew exactly what kind of monster he was. she wasn't just a survivor. she won. mary vincent is what happens when a person refuses to break.
