260: The Multiple Attacks on Donna Palomba

Hate ads? The entire LGTC catalog is available ad-free on Patreon!Donna Palomba desperately needed the police’s help. She’d just been attacked in her home by a masked gunman. He’d raped her and threatened her life. Donna was shaken to her core. The attacker had taken pains to disguise himself, but Donna had an unsettling feeling that she knew the man. After all, what were the chances that she’d be attacked the *one* time her husband was out of town? Police needed to act quickly if they wanted to get this predator off the streets. Spoiler alert: They didn’t.And now for a note about our process.
