Jill says she'll never forget that night and the unforgettable look in her husband's eyes. "It was blinding rage. It was something you'd see on a movie. He wasn't even in his body. It wasn't the man I knew."
It has been eight months since the night Jill's husband tried to kill her. Jill says, "He strangled me with a bed-sheet. He was beating me. I looked in his eyes and I knew it wasn't going to stop."
Jill escaped and left her husband that night. After months of shelters, she finally moved to a new home. Jill never thought her husband would find her.
But, three weeks ago Jill's husband found her. Like many women in Jill's situation, he now won't let her go. The man has been to Jill's home repeatedly, most recently this past Saturday.
Jill says, "There was pushing and he was fighting to get through the door. I then heard steps as he was going downstairs. I went outside it was another set of my belongings.
But most of Jill's things were destroyed. Most frightening, Jill's husband left a lock of Jill's hair. She has no idea when he cut it from her head. Because her husband has found her, Jill must go back into the darkness and disappear. She'll start over once again.
Reports say domestic violence is the most under-reported crime in the country. The National Coalition Against Domestic Violence says one in every four women will be victims of the crime, the vast majority of whom never report the crime to police.
Jill's husband remains at-large.
