Survivor of campground attack recalls horiffic night #shorts | Forensic Files

I was 19. In the middle of the night, we were awakened to someone hitting the back of our tent. I ordered them out of
the tent. I believe I put them both on their stomachs and asked them to get their hands behind
their backs. A towel was put over my head and my hands and feet were tied up, and then my
boyfriend was tied up. You were fighting him as best you could. Yeah. Took the one that he crossed to do something bad
to her. In the middle of what he was trying to do, he said that he saw light and said he
had to go. My boyfriend got me untied, and we called the police. I told them what happened, and it very
much seemed like they maybe didn't believe me. I reached out to them many times trying
to find out, "Have you guys found anything? You know, do you know who did this?" And nothing.
