Show Notes
In this episode of Triggered, we tell one of the most horrifying, and ultimately inspiring, survival stories in true crime history. In 1994, South African woman Alison Botha was abducted, brutally assaulted, and left for dead after a night out with friends. Her attackers slit her throat, disemboweled her, and abandoned her in a desolate area, convinced she wouldn’t live.
But Alison refused to die.
Through unimaginable pain and sheer force of will, she held her own body together and walked toward help—saving her own life and later helping authorities bring her attackers to justice. This is not just a story of violence. It’s a story of raw human survival, resilience, and what it means to choose to live when death is certain.
Listener discretion is strongly advised.
