Sounds like a thriller screenplay. Unfortunately, that’s a true story. But the victim was wearing the Apple Watch, which saved her life. This is how it happened. On October 16, the woman was discussing “their divorce and money” with her ex-husband at her home. The man got angry when she asked him to leave. Once the woman entered the bedroom, the veteran attacked her, “punched her in the head multiple times, and threw her to the ground.” Then the felon tied her hands with duct tape and taped her eyes, thighs, and ankles.
She was lying on the floor with taped hands. Once her husband left the room, she used the Apple Watch to call 911. Though she was hearing the dispatcher talking, she couldn’t say a word. Then, her husband began to drug her body to the floor in front of the garage door. Here, he saw the Apple Watch on her wrist and struck it with a hammer.
The man took her to the words, stabbed her breasts with a sharp object, and buried her in the ground.
After a few hours, when dark, she could crawl out of the hole and find her way to safety.
The man was arrested the next day.
