87. The Survival Story of Donna Ongsiako - The Light Tapping At The Front Door

from Beyond the Ferns · host Susie Winn

In this week's episode, we are headed to New Jersey! It was supposed to be an ordinary summer night. In July 2013, 41-year-old Donna Ongsiako was home alone at her secluded farmhouse in Colts Neck, New Jersey. Her daughter was at a party for the evening, the house was quiet, and Donna was simply going through her normal nighttime routine when she opened her front door. Standing on the other side was a stranger. Within moments, Donna found herself fighting for her life inside the place where she should have felt safest. Severely injured and completely alone, with no neighbors close enough to hear her cries for help, her chances of surviving were quickly slipping away. But Donna wasn’t ready to die. What followed was an extraordinary fight for survival—and an investigation to uncover who had come to her home that night and why. And boyyyyyy, it's not what you would expect...
