Episode 44: The Incredible Survival of Tracey (Thurman) Motuzick
Tracey was in her late teens when she met the man she wanted to marry. They soon had a child, a son, and from the outside, they were happy. Her relationship turned abusive in more ways than one, and Tracey removed herself and her child from the situation. Leaving a domestic violence relationship can be dangerous-- it was more so for Tracey and her toddler son because law enforcement did little to help her before, during or after.
