I'm so glad his dog had empathy and passed her by. He knew he was owned by evil, and he didn't want to be used by that evil.
“Man’s best friend” really betrayed for the better
I fully agree and believe the dog willfully walked by, anyone who’s ever looked into the eyes of their beloved companion knows these animals are capable of more than we know
Ugh Sorry have YOU Now That Have KJ Hasn't been working
@@margaretgarcia6135 ??
The dog very much helped and the owner was very terrible to him, he tried to help me but the owner hit him and pushed him into the kitchen
Poor neighbour is so traumatized. You can tell he never healed from it.
True but at least her surviving is probably what makes his trauma manageable in a way. It would be horrible if it wasn’t the case
Yes, thank goodness he wasn’t shot! Poor guy.
When that dog didn’t bark that was ur guardian angel saying shhhhh ❤❤❤
Yes that dog knew, it’s probably experienced many a beating by that POS as well. I hope it’s living a much better life now too😢
Yes it was, that dog tried to save me the owner was very disrespectful to him
I wonder what became of the dog - hope he got a better home
@@ToyaRobbins it was his parents dog I think they still own him
That was my first thought! The dog helped save her ❤
That Woman is a Warrior! ❤️
She's stupid
Absolutely 100%
❤️
@@alskyviewerallen9665:)
It’s great to know that she’s here right now to finally tell her story . Goddamn this sexual predator sounded like a monster . My question is , what is it with these horrible sexual predators ? Why do they do this type of shit ? They clearly have sick mindsets . And yeah , they never should’ve let that disgusting creep go .
He will never see the light of day again and I made sure of that
So proud of you i cried watching this@@mariahhernandez8211
Sadly, many states STILL don't have laws that are strong enough for the damage these people do to their victims. But thanks to strong women like this young lady, we ARE seeing that begin to change.
To Mariah, I'm so very proud of you for standing up and ensuring this man NEVER sees another day of freedom again. We all talk about surviving our traumas, but YOU, my dear, not only survived, you TRIUMPHED!
@@mariahhernandez8211idk, me personally I would’ve been scared. But, I would’ve trick him into thinking I was his best friend and which up on him when he lets his guard down.
Great job, girl. I’m glad she okay.!
@@Ayoocuzz thank you
This girl is a fighter. I’m so glad that person who did this got 100 years.
I’m glad that young lady made it out alive and I’m happy that the evil mofo is going to be in prison for a long time
Agree he’s going to rot there for the rest of his life. It took me about 4 years of trail to get him where he belongs
That dog wasn't a snitch. That dog was a good boy.
Yes he was such a good boy
He tried to knock him down a few times after he had hit me but he just hit the dog but he also didn’t stop the fight so he had to be locked up
@Mariahhernandez8211 ...You are such a an awesome ,inspirational , heroic young woman. God bless you and you loving family .
Agreed
She should adopt that dog. It saved her life.
The bravest survivors stop the monster, not in revenge, but to stop them from hurting anyone else.
She will be a hero for many generations forward.
I totally agree with you
She's not ONLY her own HERO for fighting as hard/smart as she did but she's a hero for ALL of the young women this purely EVIL POS would have done to other young women !!😮 God bless & much love from one rape survivor to another you are a hero in my book !!
I can’t even imagine how proud that dad was hearing how his baby girl fought. Every dad I know fears what could happen to his daughter and wants her to be able to fight for herself
❤
I know how fatal it can be to fight back in these situations, but I commend her completely for doing it. I'd fight for my life, too.
❤
Yes i would too.
Mariah is a BOSS!!!
Her intelligence, strength and survival instinct led her to freedom from such evil. This girl's story should be shared at schools to educate and encourage other young girls on survival skills. I'm SO proud of her! ❤
This is probably the most inspiring and heroic story I've ever heard. That young lady is a trooper. I can't say it enough. The fella in the tan shirt, he has a heart for Christ. You're never more like God than when you forgive someone.
As for the girl.... again.... she needs to be traveling and educating people. She needs to be sharing her story and she should be able to make a living off of it. Anyone as brave as she is deserves to tell her story to the four corners of the earth.
I'm not usually a Steve/Jerry/Maury watcher, but I'm a Steve watcher these days. These stories are incredible.
Thank you, Steve!!
This man who kidnapped that victim should be the death row , not in jail !
I’d rather let him rot in jail instead of being put out of his misery tbh
@@arandomguy7672But he is going to do that again , no man we don’t want our own families suffer or kidnapp
@@Nelson-od9ns dude he will be in jail.
@@Nelson-od9nshe got 100 years in prison. He's not getting out.
@@Nelson-od9nshe got 100 years, it will be a damn miracle if he alive till then
I’m a friend of Mariah’s aunt. I was horrified when I heard the story. Mariah is such a hero and I’m glad that this monster was put away for the rest of his miserable life. I wish nothing but happiness and healing for Mariah ❤
Im proud of her. She should of kept that dog that covered for her. That dog was her angel.
I'm 32 and don't know if I would be able to accomplish what she did out of fear. She's so insanely brave and inspirational to young women who have survived SA.
Im greatful shes still alive. She fought so hard. Shes amazing and im praying for her.
Same here me too I’m glad that young lady made it out alive
@@alskyviewerallen9665thank you!
Thank you so much ❤
@@mariahhernandez8211 your welcome. I hope ur doing ok.
I bawled watching this thinking of how it could be anybody. She probably saved so many lives from being brave enough. You should be so proud of yourself what a beautiful family.
Thank you ❤
This made me cry like a baby too. She's so incredibly strong& resilient. I hope to raise a daughter just as brave & strong& quick witted. I mean she is, she's 6 tho& very sweet.
I'm glad she fought through it and made it out! 😢 this is beyond scary.
Yes it truly is scary I’m glad that young lady made it out alive
@@alskyviewerallen9665❤️
It was very scary but I’m glad I fought as hard as I did.
the dog part is insane this is like something out a movie god bless her and her family she is so brave
Thank you! And I thought the same thing when it happened
Please always capitalize God out of Respect for Him May The All Powerful Holy Lord God Jesus Christ Bless you Richly in Every Way Possible Always Thanks Peace ✝️❤️🙏😇👋
I'm glad his animals had more sense then him. Glad they tried to help and protect her in a way. Good job doggies.
This one really got to me. The tears started to flow for this poor girl. Mariah you are a beautiful, strong woman and I am so sorry that you had to go through this tragic situation. I am so glad you put that P.O.S. away where he belongs!!!
You could hear a pin drop during her explanation, it was almost as if gravity got sucked out the building 💔
❤
What an inspirational story all the way around - from a 15 year old fighting for her life and triumphing to a father jumping into action when his daughter was in danger to the neighbor having no hard feelings for being mistaken for the perpetrator. I wish blessings to all of these people ❤❤
❤
This almost made me cry honestly. I'm so sorry beautiful Mariah❤
My God that poor girl. She is a survivor and I'm very proud of her
Thank you ❤
@@mariahhernandez8211 of course love I was very moved and I definitely cried. I'm just so happy you made it out !
We all have to stop the judicial system from doing the catch and release program. Close down the bail bond system, and if they won't don't let them use credit cards.
AGREED!
True I agree with y’all
Only use the bail bond system for small misdemeanors
She kept herself alive, fought him like a hero and saved all possible future victims from this specific totally dangerous sickbrain!
So happy to see her alive and well and that she knows... _She_ is powerful and brave and didn't let him took away _anything_ from her, ... especially not her smile, what is almost the best part for me to see!!
Well done Mariah ☺
I'm so glad that she was able to fight back and got away from that evil monster. I hope her story can others
I just love when dad's step up like that !!
She is so lucky to be alive. So glad that she is safe. May god bless her
She's absolutely incredible. She has a beautiful, loving family but I can't believe how amazing that dog was. I hope he got a good home when his evil owner was put where he belongs.
A very powerful story! That young lady has quite the future ahead of her! I pray many blessings on her, her family and the man who left his door unlocked!
That dog was her guardian angel that day, such a good boy who deserves all the treats and toys ❤ as a survivor of rape my heart is with her and I hope she heals from this, also her family and the neighbour, you can tell he's traumatised by what happened too.
I wish them all so much happiness and healing ❤️❤❤❤
@englishrose8013 I hope that the dog found himself a good home
I was hoping that she kept the dog
Omg thats a horrific thing that happened to that poor girl and she still has a smile on her face ! Shes incredibly strong! Im so happy she's still alive and was able to get that pos in jail for life !!!!!!
Thank you so much and I try not to let the past define who I am today
I am so glad that she's doing okay , I am so proud of her surroundings. That predator is a monster he should be put in jail for his sexual crime. That girl is brave , strong women.
Thank you
Damn I want whatever Samuel is on cos he’s so chilled out
Mariah you're an inspiration to many, and this story brought me to tears
I’m so glad she twisted his balls , gouged his eyes etc and got free. Oh my god this women , I wish nothing but healing too. Amazing absolutely amazing that she she didn’t give up ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤. I’m sorry sorry this happened to her 🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗
Thank you so much ❤
I cannot imagine everything she went through. What a fighter and inspiration to anyone who is ever put into this situation 😢❤
Thank you ❤
The words “she was her own warrior “ that’s 100%
❤❤
That woman is such a survivor and that dog is a hero!
I teared up when I heard how that father showed up for his baby girl. She’s got a wonderful family. May God continue to bless her and her family.
You are a warrior Girl!
I hope you heal and take your life back!
Thank you so much ❤
Probably the best group of chaps Steve has ever had on his show. I wish them all a happy rest of their lives..❤
I am so proud that she fought so hard through all of that because it's extremely hard to do it. If the dog did say something it would have not ended
I agree and I fought with everything I had
@@mariahhernandez8211You are such a warrior girl. You are a voice for those who suffer with these horrible people behind closed doors, and the trauma you experience afterwards. I am glad you got justice and you are gonna go places with your inspiring story. Happy new year and sending blessings and love your way!!!❤
@@gabbyperez8450 your so sweet! Thank you for the kind words, happy new year!
Carolyn (grandma) is one of my best friends and I’ll never forget her telling me what happened to Mariah! I’m so glad she is safe..God had other plans for her!!
This brought tears to my eyes so many times I’m so happy she has a family that loves her so much 🫶🏻
How can people be SO EVIL WICKED and CRUEL??!! WoW she is an Inspiration in the way that she fought the predator off! I am in a state of shock just hearing about what she experienced at the hands of that HORRIBLE MONSTER!!!
This is one of the most inspirational and emotional episodes of steve ive ever watched.
❤
@@mariahhernandez8211 ❤️
The most spine chilling, inspirational and emotional stories ive ever heard! May god bless this young lady and her family! And god bless that young man who helped her 🙏🏾
Thank you so much ❤
Great video. Mariah is a real badass. If you happen to read this comment Mariah I’m proud of you. Stay safe.
Thank you so much ❤and I’m trying my best
@@mariahhernandez8211 I am so sorry you went through this. But I am so proud of you for fighting and for putting that monster in prison for the rest of his life. Wishing you only the very best in the future.
The system is so broken . The neighbor and Mariah are bad asses!!!
Absolutely
Thank you❤
No wonder the dog was quiet and amazing, Samuel is also amazing
Wow what a strong strong girl, so glad she's safe now. Neighbour is a good guy, everyone on stage ís amazing ❤
I thank god this beautiful young lady made it out alive. I am so glad that dog didn’t sniff her out. I hope she can eventually heal from this horrible thing that should have never happened to her if the justice system would have done its job.
I agree thank you very much
Wow this young woman is such an inspiration to other women and girls. She was brave enough to come on the show and share her story so that another woman may also have the courage to fight back if theyre in this situation. God was truly on her side that day from the neighbors door being unlocked to the dog walking past her.
I agree he very much was on my side and thank you so much it means a lot ❤
She is a hero. She is very strong. Im so proud of her. And the dog to me is a hero. I wish she would of kept the dog, the dog was her angel. And thank you to the neighbor guy. Your all heros.
She's a WARRIOR! I have so much respect for her.
She smile and said i can smile and I can get through this and I can do it and I did that and be forever badass survivor and toughest young woman ever
Honnnnneyyyy!!❤ You are the epitome of strength! Proud is an understatement! You are a survivor! Thanks for sharing!❤❤❤
Thank you ❤
You're very welcome! Keep shining!@@mariahhernandez8211
That beautiful young lady went through hell and fought her way back
My girl!! What a way to fight for your life! So happy she made it out!
I fought with everything I had ❤
@@mariahhernandez8211so proud of you!! Wishing you all the best! ♥️
@@jchelbi thank you!
@@jchelbithank you ❤
Bro bless the neighbor, he was hero enough to let Mariah into his house to escape her kidnapper. If it wasn’t for him, Mariah would’ve been dead by now. LEGEND 🙏🏻❤️
I think they were saying his house was unlocked. He wasn’t there but when he came home he saw the police lights
Mariah I hope your 2024 is full of happiness and blessings stay strong beautiful 🩷❤️🙏
Thank you ❤
No, Steve, I definitely can't relate to this young woman's story. I feel so bad for her. She's lucky to be alive. She's a strong, beautiful, brave, and smart young woman with her whole life ahead of her. I wish everyone all the best in the future. What a powerful story.
Thank you
She's one hell of a strongest minded lady.
I’m speechless… what an INSPIRATION, my heart shattered into pieces listening to this horrific story.. may God bless you and continue to protect you sweet girl, wow! ❤
Thank you ❤
Hearing her story triggered my ptsd. So brave. I hope she gets counseling for ptsd😊
THATS WHATS WRONG WITH THIS WORLD what happen to 3 strikes you are out if you do something 3 times in your life bad to go to jail YOU SHOULD STAY IN JAIL.
So thankful she survived 🙌🏽
What a great neighbor! ❤❤❤
Girl you truly are an inspiration for a lot of women that don't have the courage to do what you did I wish I was as brave as you are when I was younger
What in the actual hell! SO PROUD OF YOU MAMA!!! 😢❤🎉
Thank you ❤❤
@@mariahhernandez8211I'm so proud of you I couldn't imagine God was on your side and you are a brave and beautiful woman may God make your days be long and plentiful Amen
That girl is a rock star you go girl ❤
Thank god she is alive and survive 🙏🏽

Thank you ❤
Thank god that back door was unlocked.
What a brave young lady & the gent that helped just radiates kindness. They seem like a lovely family. Wish them all nothing but, well wishes 🧿🙏
Thank you ❤
I got kidnapped and he told me I was lucky if I get out alive. I spiked his drink with everything near me when he wasn't looking. Lysol was the key ingredient. He was so drunk he didn't realize he was drinking poison... he was originally drinking some kind of alcohol. That day was horrible. He ended up passing our after abusing me for hours. He put my keys underneath him when he felt himself getting sleepy. Once he was sleep. I respectfully Grab my keys and hauled ssa. I was bleeding everywhere... half naked. ...
I'm glad she fought... and saved herself. Strong woman 😢❤❤
I’m glad you fought as well. I’m so sorry I’m sending you love and blessings. I pray that God blesses you and you’re able to heal. You’re so strong and I’m glad you’re here today. ❤❤❤
God bless you❤ I hope you’re healing as much as possible & the POS who harmed you is in prison! You are a hero too baby girl🙏❤️
Extremely happy to hear you were able to get away 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾
@@StupidTH-camHandleTM Thank yu so much 🫶🏾🥹🫶🏾 God bless yu as well.
@@missmandy2049 they let him out. Smh. But I'm sure he'll go for good one day. Im praying others are safe from him. Thank you. God bless yu as well 🥹🫶🏾🫶🏾 I am healed🫶🏾
These stories on Steve are so important, this shows others to fight and you could save your life, this man is the lowest of the low, how disgusting to do those things to somebody, the thought of it alone is terrifying. This girl is brave beyond belief and so smart to hide how she did aswell
What an incredible young woman!!
Thank you
Great video Steve I love what you do and so do the rest of us your the best
What an incredibly courageous young lady😊
My God, this guy is a monster. I feel like men who commit violent crimes like that truly hate women. So glad she was able to survive.
Wow what a beautiful, courageous, brave young lady, hope you can heal from this nightmare. Be proud of yourself, cause your amazing 💜🌹
Thank you I am trying ❤
This was a powerful story. Thank you Steve for sharing her story with us
❤❤
Things that makes me smile after hearing Mariah's story:
Mariah basically fighting for her life to live and get home as soon as possible.
The dog completely ignoring Mariah as if trying to stop the pain that she had gone through from that son of a bitch.
Samuel being a good man and keeping Mariah safe as possible, calling the police and letting her call her parents.
The family being so damn thankful for what Samuel did for their daughter even after showing up at his place with a shotgun in hand, thinking he's the one who did it.
Your story, Mariah, is what I wish I could've done when I was in a similar situation but I'm not as strong as you.
I don’t know what you have been through but anyone can overcome anything you just have to try and if you fall you just get back up, whatever doesn’t kill too just makes you stronger.
U can't tell how tough she is from the way she speaks. Very soft spoken. My God that was bra.... ve!!
Thank you ❤
What a fighter!!! You are a hero because more would have come after you had you not been so brave and fought your way out! I am astounded she has the wherewithal in such a situation. I hope this young lady is healing well
Thank you I am trying
Mariah is so beautiful, she looks nothing like what she went through🥹😍
Im so proud of you!!! Mariah you are amazing and strong! I WISH U ALL THE HAPPINESS IN THE WORLD BABE!❤❤❤
That picture taken after her abduction is horrific, god bless her
Please always capitalize God out of Respect for Him May The All Powerful Holy Lord God Jesus Christ Bless you Richly in Every Way Possible Always Thanks Peace ✝️❤️🙏😇👋
What a hero pooch 🐕
Love you Steve💛
Been a big fan since high school.
this is why sometimes I HATE jail/prison. sometimes THATS NOT ENOUGH!
him having O3 meals, food & water , ALL FOR FREE , NOT WORKING.
*he NEEDS to suffer EXACTLY WHAT HE MADE **_HER_** SUFFER!* 😤
God sure was with this lady. She was so brave, to have the neighbors house to go to, and the dog just not selling her out; but passing her by. This was God totally in this , and on her side.
He really was on my side
@@mariahhernandez8211 I am so sorry you had to go through that. God works out all things out for good. You now have a testimony. You can tell people how God spared your life. God has a purpose for you. I can't believe the dog just passed you by. But, what a good hiding place hard to find you in a wall.
@@ericaaubie860 very hard to find someone in a wall and that dog was a good boy
What an amazing fight for survival. This young woman had survival instincts and she did EVERYTHING she possibly could and succeeded! Good for you babygirl! That was one of the best dogs EVER! That dog knew that what was happening was wrong!
I would be getting judged by 12 while he was being carried by 2
NO STEVE WE CAN NOT RELATE!!! Jesus god bless this warrior👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽
We can’t, but other people can, & may want to share their experience & would like to offer help to them on how to get out of it
Thank you ❤
@@younghoodstar24did i say otherwise? Dont make it something its not.
