Hi my name is Danielle, welcome to my True Crime and Makeup series! I’ve been interested in true crime for the longest time now, what started with me watching true crime on TV with my Nan from a young age eventually turned into studying for a degree in Law & Criminology.
When I first watched Bailey Sarian’s series I was completely hooked, I loved how she had combined two of the things I’m most passionate about and delivered it so well. She totally inspired me to take the leap and do the same thing on my channel, so all credit for the idea goes 100% to her.
I’m from the UK and will be covering cases from both the UK and internationally, let me know if there are any cases that you’d like to see from me! More cases will be coming soon so please subscribe if you enjoyed this video!

Hey is there a way you can add captions ❤❤. I love ur stories but it’s hard for me to follow along without them (not to any fault of your own tho)
I gotta ask was the makeup GREEN 💚💚💚 because this was soooo lucky? 🍀 Heard this story before, never neglects to shock me ❤️🩹 and I learned quit a lot more, thank you as always 💛
@jai_lyricz if you go up into you tube you can add them it usually ccc on top of the screen or go to settings
ALL GLORY TO GOD
I wonder if the car that drove off thought she was dead anyway even if she may not have been at that moment
I watch a lot of true crime and this is BY FAR the worst case/injuries ive EVER heard. This is INSANE.
I could hardly make it thru 😢
I thought the exact same thing
I was going to comment the same thing. This case really disturbed me!
Ya my jaw was hanging down for the entirety of the video 😮
Especially when she said her head was literally hanging off. It's a bloody miracle she survived.
I got dizzy, this was bad
This case truly sounded like a horror movie. It was a miracle she survived. She definitely had a guardian angel watching over her
It sounded like a person who survived the Texas chainsaw murders.
@@jeanfrida2278 ikr!!! Crazy!
Of all the gruesome and violence I’ve watched, read, and listened to, THIS is the one that truly horrifies my core.
@Amateur_Ambiance it's the most disturbing one I've ever heard and to think she survived!
@@creepyloverallday Listen. There’s a rather “popular” cartel video out there revolving around this poor man who gets absolutely butchered. The audio is just as horrifying as the video itself. But this? THIS?!?!? This just blackens my core with dread and terror.
I'm actually so angry at the amount of male violence that isn't taken seriously. How can you think its OK to release these disgusting human beings? But you know what, her story is a true testament of the human spirit. The universe wants her to live. Its amazing.
It’s even more infuriating when these men have already been accused and arrested. And then just let go. It’s horrific.
Yeah, man bad. Women perfect. Urpdurpdurp
Thank the “universe” for sending that MALE veterinary student that saved her life.
@@ArgentLeftoversI don't get the sense at all that that's what the OP meant. They certainly didn't say anything like "men bad, woman perfect."
Unfortunately, men do commit more violent crimes than women, and it was indeed a grave miscarriage of justice that these monsters were released after already committing such horrific crimes. And it's also just objectively true that Alison's ability to survive is downright miraculous...it would've been just a miraculous had she been a man.
Not sure why you're more bothered by the comment than the absolute unspeakable horrors perpetrated against Alison, in any case. Seems like a bit of a priority issue to me, with all due respect.
Because it's the ANC's SA 🤣
The fact that this is a survivor story is unbelievable! Surely I’m not the only one who was hoping that her and the vet ended up together 🥹💚
same i found the way he loved her green eyes so romantic and wanated them to end up together
Right I wanted them to date after
The fact he never left her side ...even when she was in good hands at the hospital!! This is a doctor I would want attending me and my family!!
I am glad I am not the only one who thought that she and the vet would end up together.
This was what I thought when she said the vet would come up again. I was like "yaaaay! They're getting married!"
But him being the one to deliver her second is also a wonderful thing ❤
'she reached up and her head was FLOPPED BACKWARDS' -- this is so unbelievable that a horror movie would never film it because it sounds SO UNREAL. I am blown away. Talk about survival and adrenaline keeping you clear minded enough. This whole story is insanity. My god.
My neck feels so stiff when listening to that part. What an amazing thing the human body is, how the brain is able to still send signals to move the body! I'm at a loss for words.
I literally threw my phone.
I would literally pass out if I realized that
I know i gagged and had to stop the video
I would not survive that for sureee
When you said about her head… it’s one of few times I’ve felt the colour drain from myself and I felt so unwell. What an amazing and resilient woman.
I agree! I was listening to this with my eyes closed and they were WIDE OPEN when she said that!!
Same here I had to pause the video and wait bc I felt myself getting ready to throw up, and I’m not a squeamish person. That certainly did it for me though….unbelievable but incredible at the same time.
I'm from South Africa, she actually came to our school years ago to tell her story,what an incredible woman ❤️
I'm so jealous
Wonderful
She's incredible ❤
That is the Soth Africa i live in, ambulances can take hours to reac ppl...its so sad.
That's amazing!!!! 👏
That veterinary student finding her was an absolute miracle ❤
Her surviving at all is too!!!! Incredible
This whole case is one miracle after another, all things considered. I've heard it told so many times before, but each time I am amazed at all the details. This was the first time I heard about her emptying her colon, which is a detail a lot of people probably leave out because it's uncomfortable to talk about, but as a nurse I find it to be one more fascinating detail!
@@cassie1264it just goes to show how close her body was to death/the trauma her body endured. Involuntary urination/dedication is what happens after you die, correct?
@@cassie1264 I think u mean involuntary defecation because she emptied her bowels not her bladder
@@DoorsToHideBehind156 Not only after you die! It can happen at times of stress or after having babies, It is also something that happens as you get older !
The part about the vet student Tian saving Allison’s life and keeping her alert by telling her she had beautiful green eyes and then using the hand squeezing system. Gave me the best kind of chills. What an amazing woman and Tian the vet student turned doctor, I am low key in love.
Also let’s give a round of applause to Alison’s mom for being an amazing mother start to finish. No doubt the strength and love she showed to her daughter helped her have the will to fight for her life and that her mother helped her in her recovery
Absolutely ❤❤
The veterinary student was a literally knight in shining armor, an angel, an answer to prayer, a light in the darkness.... i cant think of a title good enough for this man. Allison was such a WARRIOR. Her strength and resilience is beyond incredible.
Well said. I couldn’t agree with you more! She is such a strong woman and the veterinary student was her night in shining amor 100%!
He is everything that is positive about masculinity. Selfless, protective, brave and smart. That he was already training to be a vet shows he is kind and caring.
If ever you have access to stream her documentary, You'll see she actually does refer to Tiaan as a Knight in shining Armour. How she felt so safe when he arrived
We all (most of SA) thought they would end up together, but as you can see, nothing in her life, is predictable. I studied in Port Elizabeth, 10 years after this. one would think I would have been more careful
@@thepaisleypuptbh I think it's even more beautiful that they are friends. :) Romance can pass, but a friendship like this is forever :)
This is the most nauseating crime I've ever known of. Allison is the toughest person I've ever heard of. I CANNOT BELIEVE these criminals have been released. Are you kidding me?! Every part of this is so difficult to grasp.
The fact these 2 losers are free has me speechless.
How awful must that feel to Alison?
If they re_offend then the person who decided (law change or not), that they could/should be freed, should be held accountable.
Unbelievable, they don't deserve to live their life
Can women carry guns in South Africa?
I hope they get their karma ❤
@@barbaraperkins618I doubt it 😢
@@barbaraperkins618yes you can have a gun for self protection in South Africa
@@barbaraperkins618 yes and many off us do. As well as pepper spray.
These stories don’t normally bothered me but what this poor poor woman survived through is completely unimaginable
this one really hit me. so absolutely horrific 😭
I’ve been struggling not to cry during this one.
It’s just truly horrific.
I nearly passed out just thinking about her head hanging on by her spinal cord alone, I cannot believe this powerhouse of a woman was able to just pick her head up to put it back in place and WALK for god knows how long to a road!
Excellent coverage, Danielle, thank you!
Allison’s Mom sounds like the best Mom ever! All kids should have parents that build them up....not knock them down.
*not knock them down* so simple.. yet such a scarce practice... ☹️
AMEN CHAMPION THAT'S RIGHT 🫸💛🫷
I'm so happy that you're covering this. I'm South African and this captured the whole nation. Alison is such a courageous and brave woman.
Hi fellow South African ❤😂🎉😊
I'm also here. Thank you.
I always wondered if my fellow South Africans also watched this channel 😅
I'm also from South Africa!
Hello fellow Saffer!
I can’t believe those police made Alison risk her life and get extubated to speak the names of her attackers-so terrible! And how could they let these psychopaths out of prison?!? I’m a trauma/surgery ICU nurse and her neck injury is worse than anything I have ever seen. Alison is such a strong woman! And thank God that wonderful veterinary student set his mind to helping her live! ❤️
I know! What’s the difference if she speaks their names or writes them? It’s still being communicated from her. As long as there are the appropriate witnesses, it should be clear that she’s telling you who did it. Maybe there’s more to it but that’s ridiculous.
I’m SHOCKED that they were released!! People capable of that kind of evil should never see the light of day outside of prison. She’s an amazingly strong woman, and I have so much respect for her determination. Wow. What a story.
Apparently, in today's world, lives of criminals are more valuable than lives of their victims. I've been seeing it across the globe: the USA, UK, Australia, Russia, China, you name it! I think we need a new movement: Victims' Lives Fucking MATTER!!!!! And bring the death penalty back on!
In South Africa this is the norm unfortunately. Our dear ANC government is mostly made of criminals after all so they are more than happy for violent criminals to live amongst the citizens.
They should of been sent to prison after the first rape case
Just straight to the facts-these men will reoffend. If caught or not, they will. And letting them out puts her in jeopardy. She is a high profile person and that will hopefully keep her safe 💜 They are beyond rehabilitation, and the gross majority of prisons don’t bother with rehabilitation efforts anyways. There are only a few countries that focus on this. Even then, these 2 degenerates, they aren’t “fixable” they will only become more efficient in their crimes. This is what they learned in prison: do it better, don’t get caught.
The blood of Allison is already on the government’s hands and now they are upping the ante. Disgusting. I’m not a death penalty supporter, I’m a clinician and it violates my ethics, but I’m also a survivor of brutal assault, so these cases leave my thoughts torn. Whatever sentencing that happens, these sick f*cks do NOT belong amongst the public… they don’t even belong around the majority of prisoners! I mean the one sub-human wants to profit from everything she has earned as she fought to find a place in life because she wouldn’t have it without him? That’s all anyone needs to know about his pathology.
I am aware the US prison system is entirely dysfunctional, fundamentally broken. I am, however, shocked to see how light sentences are in other countries for crimes like these (m*rder, p*dos, the extreme and violent crimes) vs the typical sentencing in the US. I know there are cases with shocking low sentencing, or wild high profile ones that get off entirely; like OJ and Casey Anthony, that leave us all reeling. I’m speaking in general terms. AND I like that in a crime like this a judge would likely sentence for attempt m*rder 1-life with no parole, r*pe-max years, conspiracy-max years, kidnapping-max years and have them serve consecutive so life+say 176 years. It ensures a true life sentence. Getting those extra convictions and sentencing isn’t a waste of time and money, I wish it was done in this case.
If you look at how that country is being run it's not shocking at all. The government is a bunch of insane neo Marxists and corrupt officials.
Thanks for covering this case. This is still one of thee most terrifying cases here in South Africa. They were released and authorities never notified her. Don't be surprised our government don't care about anyone.
RELEASED?! HOWWWW????
@emilyi771 because South Africa, unfortunately...
How did it go from one and three life sentences to being RELEASED?! Where are they now?! I had a visceral reaction reading this!!! 🤬🤬🤬
@@emilyi771because that’s what happens here.
@@lisastarchild Welcome to South Africa.
there aren’t many cases that make me feel as sick as Alison assault. I literally gaged as I was hearing her assault story. She is a true survivor
Alison is nothing less than a superwoman. I hope she knows how mindblowingly incredible she is. Truly an inspiration.
Hi Danielle...As a South African I just wanted to thank you for bringing this case to your platform. It was a terrible case and so so hard to listen to. Alison deserves for her unbelievable story to be heard. Our justice system has just failed victims time and time again. If you are looking for another SA case to do please look at
Reeva Steenkamp
Uyinene Mrwetyana
Moses Sithole
Norman Simons "Station Strangler"😮
Also add Inge Lotz to this list. A story that can keep you busy for a while investigating, terribly sad😮
She should cover all of these cases, but Uyinene's case still triggers me😭
I have watched quite afew documentaries on Reeva but I am shocked that I have never come across this case. Truly, truly horrifying.
You forgot to mention the Hannah Cornelius case, a very heartbreaking story that deserves more recognition. 😭💔
@khanyizulu6083 OH YES. That case gave me chills down my spine. 💔
Danielle's sarcasm gets me every time... "surely a woman wouldn't mind being blanked by you..." lol
I grew up hearing about this story, and she came to do a talk at our school. Such an incredible woman 🤍
"All in all he's a waste of space!" Truer words have never been said.
This is a truly incredible story. What an amazing woman. I am humbled by her will to survive.
Him: “I am sooo attractive to women”
Also Him: has to force and r*pe women to get any sex.
🤔🤢
If you’re so “attractive” Franz then why do you have to force yourself on women? Wouldn’t they just want you automatically? 🙄🙄
Such an incredible survival story!! She certainly had guardian angels watching over her 🙏✨✝️. It is wonderful that she is helping other victims of trauma ❤.
I am horrified that the 2 attackers were let out 😡. Is as bad as the USA regarding sex crimes. I pray that they don't harm anyone else
@@jodiegalloway3614 If she had guardian angels she would never have been attacked, now would she?
@@TheHookahSmokingCaterpillar For her to have survived all of that, she must have a special purpose. Or her kids or grandkids do. I wonder why it happened to her as well. But for all those things to fall in to place that allowed her to survive is a miracle in so many ways that it shows God's hand.
@@jodiegalloway3614 That is utterly illogical. To claim she had a 'special purpose' in surviving is asserting something for which you have no evidence.
Her body did what it was supposed to do - survive. She also had the mental will to back that instinct up, which in the context is incredible and a testament to her and evolution.
Unfortunately, people go through horrendous things everyday, all that does is demonstrate that horrendous things happen. It does not indicate magical thinking.
If there is a god you would need to demonstrate that first, and any god worth having wouldn't have allowed this to happen.
Her Gardian angle really said "the devil is a LIE" It was not her time. This is so inspiring and I'm so very proud of her 😊
As a mother and a daughter, I lost it when she wrote "I LOVE MUM" in the sand OMG.
Cried buckets over this case. Angels were really watching over Alison. Thank you for bringing us such an amazing story Danielle.
I was having a hard time listening to her attack 😢 especially when she was hearing the raspy gurgling noise and realizing it was coming from her neck and she tried to reach up to her neck and it was a gaping hole I lost it I almost vomited 😢😢
May Alison be protected at all costs. She deserves to live her life free from pain and anxiety. She’s a warrior and so strong she makes me proud to be a woman.
The strongest woman I have ever heard of! Blessed be Allison. I am so glad she lived. I can’t believe how strong she is. The stars were in her favor that night. Also hands down to the mother for raising such a strong woman!
I am South African and have heard this story many times and every time I still get chills that Allison was able to survive. Unfortunately our justice system is completely screwed up and rapists and murderer's are being released back in society daily. Allison is an amazing woman and she is a true hero ❤
Unfortunately, you are correct. It's so sad.
I would be terrified to live in a country like South Africa or Australia or the UK were these monsters are released back into the population. So scary.
Yes! So true! What an amazing woman! ❤
I'm so glad you said this. I didn't want to say it because I don't live there, and I don't really know your country. I'm sorry that you have these two monsters among you now.
We can’t deny that there’s something magical about the way the universe aligned for Alison to help her through the evil she faced that night. ❤
God
Please do more South African cases. South Africa is the rape capital of the world and our sisters and children are being hurt and killed everyday in masses. Your channel and videos bring so much awareness. Been watching aince the first video you uploaded, thank you. Terrible to hear, but needed. Cant imagine how you feel sifting through the information and creating these videos. Thank you. Please take care of your mental health. 💜
The Jimmy Maketa story
Wow, I didn't know that about South Africa. That's terrible
Please do????
It’s amazing how Alison survived such a horrific attack it shows how resilient she is.
The vet student delivering her 2nd baby made me tear up a little
I'm a South African and our police are a JOKE. We all would rather take matters into our own hands than call the police. I dont even know the emergency number. In the limited amounts of times we have had to call the police, it has taken hours for them to respond. This case is heartbreaking and hits so close to home.
Agreed. Also with the amount of police that rape and assault civilians, I feel safer in park station than alone with police officers
Another South African here. Agreed our police are disgustingly corrupt and slow. Its so sad that these kind of cases happen
@@jordanfur-rie7244 Ironically we had to call the police yesterday. They assured us that they were on their way, however an hour later the police station called us again to ask us what was wrong and why they had to come. They then said we had to call another station. We were very lucky that it was not an immediate emergency, otherwise we would probably be dead. They SUCK
It's so nice to hear from our South African friends! I really was gobsmacked when Danielle said they were released! Here in the US, they more than likely would have gotten life without parole BUT they would have suffered greatly in prison for their crimes! Anything to do with children or something as horrific as their crimes would not have been tolerated! I really am sorry that your justice system is so effed up! I know that people have a very distorted view of the police here, but, you always hear the worst of the worst! The police are just like anyone else, you have mostly the good and sometimes the bad...@southafricanhorseanddogmom, I am very happy too hear that your emergency wasn't life threatening! I cannot believe what you went through! Peace too all ❤
Called our "emergency" number a few months back for a fire in our neighborhood and the guys kept saying "i dont know what you are asking of me." ... what a joke.
It was so hard to hear Alison’s injuries, I felt like I couldn’t breathe myself while you were describing them. The fact that the full moon was out, the sequence of events, and her survival - it truly was a miracle.
Alison is the epitome of miracles. In spite of all the tragic events she had gone through she leads with grace and kindness.
oh this made me cry.😢Alison’s ability to think during her injuries means she stuck to her word when she said “They can take my body, but they CANNOT take my mind!” This case is truly a miracle! Her fight for survival is inspiring. I hope she’s doing well now, and enjoying the life that she deserves and fought so hard for!
Me too. I can usually compose myself during these stories by my goodness I was in tears. I got goosebumps so many times during this tragic story.
This story really shook me to my core, I am crying. Teehan is an angel on this earth, him being there to deliver her baby just pulled at my heart so hard. I'm so happy that Allison survived to be a force to be reckoned with, have a family and create a legacy.
I don't care how this makes me sound, I hope beyond hope that her attackers are brought to justice in the most horrible way possible.
Only negative regarding Teehan is that the animal world lost a great vet though he obviously made a great people doctor!
He's an amazing person. How he stayed with her shows what a beautiful and committed man he is. He's everything that is positive about masculinity, whereas those vile abusers who carried out such horrific attacks are beneath contempt. They shouldn't have been released.
honestly, i feel like if we are sharing regardless of how it makes us sound....
then i hope his Dad (confirmed or not for pulling Police strings) gets killed in front him and his friend in a similar horrible fashion such as neck stabbing. Oh man typing that out made me feel horrible. Bah, better idea: I would want both boys to get stabbed in their neck with their heads flopping off BUT NOT KILLED and to suffer like that a while.
Makes me so angry at injustice...
Wow I hate that I went to the comments before finishing the story. 😒🫣
She’s definitely a warrior my God what a Gem may all her burdens be lighten 🙏
Thank you for covering this case Danielle. You narrated the story amazingly. Also, this put me to tears. I could not imagine what she went through and how she survived...she has a strong will to live and that is so admirable...she is an inspiration.
When I first heard this story I was shocked. She is such an amazing, strong woman. I highly suggest watching the documentary, it is told by her. She tells it like a storybook it is such an unbelievable story.
What is the name of the documentary?
whats the same of the documentary?
It is just called “ Alison “ it was released in 2016, it is on Prime Video.
@@ettapage- will check thanks 👍🏾
Never in my life have I ever closed out of a video for a few minutes because of a sick feeling. You think you're desensitized and unphased by the gory details but there will always be one that gets you. Knowing that Allison was alive and conscious through her own body literally falling apart makes it feel so much more vivid and real. Props to that girl - she is truly amazing
Alison definitely had a gardian angel watching over her. Theres so many little things in this story that just worked in her favour. She was blessed!! Its unbelievable!!
Exactly! My thoughts !
The part where Tien keeps talking to her to keep her awake gave me chills. Amazing man and probably the strongest woman I have ever heard of. I can’t help but feel divine intervention played a huge part in bringing those two together. I cannot get over those monsters! Beyond disturbing. That pos Franz is saying he wants money from her! Geezus! She is such an inspiration. Her strength and determination is amazing!She became a mother! This is one of the craziest stories I have ever heard but the happy ending with Tien delivering her baby, OMG! Beautiful! ❤ I pray she continues to live in peace and love
I have teared up during a lot of true crime stories, but I *cried* during this one. I am so, so happy Alison survived. What an absolute miracle.
she is the definition of pure determination and willpower.
i'm shocked she survived.
Allison has got to be the strongest woman to walk this earth! I usually don’t comment but she is absolutely out of this world, an incredible woman!
I'm seriously crying here! This woman went through the most horrible and terrifying things! It's unimaginable!
A common joke in SA is that the pizza delivery man arrives before the police or ambulance... it get's a lot less funny when you realise it's true. Thank you for covering this miraculous story Danielle! ❤
I would love to hear you try and pronounce the new name of PE: Gqeberha most of us from SA struggle😂
Sadly its not just SA that this can apply to
I am not religious whatsoever, however this case can only be described as, not one, but a series of miracles! Alison is an absolute inspiration ❤
Like girl god is good that moon didn’t just make a decision to come out and lead her like that😢 I cried my eyes out
This is why I do believe that there's a higher power because good won, she stayed alive❤
Also, its important to realize that you the same token, someone dying due to mankind's own behaviors and not surviving does not mean that God does not. Are. Is indifferent or unfeeling. The Scriptures hold a reminder for us that can often get pushed to the wayside and God can become a scapegoat for mans own inhumanity to others- God inspired King Solomon to record this reminder for us...
Ecc. 9:11,
11, I have seen something further under the sun, that the swift do not always win the race, nor do the mighty win the battle, nor do the wise always have the food, nor do the intelligent always have the riches, nor do those with knowledge always have success, *because time and unexpected events overtake them all.*
as a south african, who has met and has close connections to Alison, thank you so much for covering her story and giving it the limelight it deserves!
I ve cryed when you said : “ i can t let this two, do this to some one else!” That is the definition of being a human beeing! A true blessed one! Love you with all my heart and soul ❤❤❤
Also, why do we charge “attempted m****r” less than actual m****r”?? Just because a victim is more resilient or a perpetrator fails, the intention is still the same.
I’m from Port Elizabeth, South Africa and I’ve heard this story countless of times and didn’t even know they were released from prison. Absolutely messed up.
This girl is divinely protected...this story is incredible
Amen 😊😊😊😊
The South African government should be ashamed of themselves. These two cretins should never have been released. Ever! What they did to this poor woman is unforgivable and pure evil! Alison is an amazing survivor and deserves to live in peace knowing that she would never have to confront these beasts again, however, with them being released, she is forced to live with the possibility that they could come back. The circumstances of her survival is amazing. Thank you, Danielle, for sharing this incredible story!
A true heroine....as a South African we adore her, her courage, her will
This is a horrific, but incredible, miraculous story. You did an amazing job telling her story. Thank you!
I'm from South Africa, I remember this was a big case. Danielle, you should check out another case that happened a while back here in SA..they call them the appointment murders. It's got cult vibes and serial killers. It happened In Krugersdorp. VERY insane case
Parks have never been the same to me because of them.
Hoping that she'll take on your suggestion!!!! Never heard of this one before
I hope she covers that case. I haven't heard about that case.
I've noticed that many well known cases back then were cult related
Are you refering to the Devilsdorp story/series about Cecilia Steyn? yeah that is a truely shocking cult story.
As a true crime nerd I have heard about all kinds of cases my whole life...but this case always stands out to me ever since i heard about it. It can only be described as a miracle. Fate wanted those two men to pay for what they did. This woman's strength itself is a miracle, a living miracle. A fighter and an absolute hero.
I listen to A LOT of true crime and only some really affect me, but this story had me literally crying. The fact she was still alive and survived is horrifying and incredible at the same time. Her guardian angels were not gonna let her go.
At the end when Danielle was like “you’re not going to believe this” I was just thinking no, no please don’t say they were released. It’s absolutely disgusting and unethical to have let them walk free. It’s also very clear how the government doesn’t care about women’s safety. Alison is absolutely amazing. Her strength both physically and mentally surpass anyone else. I wish her all the happiness in the world.
Hey. Here from South Africa. The worst part is, they didn't notify Alison until it was approved. About a week before release. She couldn't even go to protest it.
This case is the first one I watched that made me cry. I cannot believe what Alison went through. If Franz had demons on his side, Alison had angels on hers.
period!!!
And thankfully in this case good overcame evil
As a Canadian. Born on Dec 18th. Hearing you call it the "height of summer" send my brain for a loop 😂
This was one of the hardest stories to hear. I had to pause a few times. She’s really a miracle
My boyfriend lived in South Africa for a majority of his life. He gets extremely worried when i go alone anywhere because of some of the things he seen and heard when he lived there and how few people would stop to help in those situations. This case was before his time but it makes me understand even more why he is anxious of me being alone anywhere.
I’m so sorry your hubby is super anxious. This isn’t the case with everywhere. The crazy thing is this sort of case is not very common. We do have crime but not much like this. But understand his fear
@@mommyfromsouthafrica220 I beg to differ. Just last month a 26 year old went up to Wilderness Heights to show his car to a potential buyer and disappeared.His charred remains where found in a barrel along the N9 if I'm not mistaken. My friend and his 80ish mother were tied up and attacked in their own home, stabbed with knives and screwdrivers for R6000. A gutter specialist went out to do a job, disappeared, his car was seen in Cape Town, his body found. And this all starting in the peaceful Garden Route. I think a little anxiety is better than regretting not being extra careful.
Danielle, THANK YOU for covering this story, that hits deep for me 🤍 I am from South Africa and grew up in a town 2 and a half hours away from Port Elizabeth, where this attack happened. I know this story so well. I read her book so many times too. Alison did a talk at my school about her life when I was 16 years old and I met her. She is the epitome of a living Angel and miracle... Humble, kind, educated and nothing short of inspiring.
I'm here for all these videos you put out for us, Danielle, you are truly the most compassionate in how you deliver your videos to us!! I hope you're being kind to yourself after all the effort you put in to keep us informed!!!
We appreciate you! 💜
How on earth did she survive? She is an incredible woman.
This woman deserves person of year award. Every award, medal, everything they can give.
I’m so glad you covered this! Although horrific, this is such an amazing and inspiring story! Allison is amazing. Thank you for sharing her story!
I'm South African, I'm happy Danielle is covering a case from my country❤️❤️
Same here! ❤
Is ur cookie lips pink?
Me too!!!
@@Gmblrzzz_13_79??
Same! Happy to be here for it.
Having lived in South Afrika at the time, this case shocked the entire nation. I always thought I should ask someone to cover this, and I am so glad you did.
I love your channel. You're honestly the most empathetic and emotionally involved true crime TH-camr I've seen. Others tell the stories, but you actually show genuine concern for the victims ❤
Stephanie Harlowe and Bailey Sarian too❤❤❤❤
@@MizBryteEyez I honestly find Stephanie Harlowe a little dry, but I love Bailey Sarian and Annie Elise too, along with a few others.
@@latisaclewis342have you heard of Stephanie soo? She has several channels but the midnight mango is my fave of hers. I think that’s it. It might be rotten mango. Anyway all of them are great I just don’t like the mukbang ones. Lol
@@MizBryteEyezI used to watch them both but stopped…I now only watch a few favourites ❤
Danielle, Kimberleighya and Annie Elise are top tier imo. I’ll watch the others if I’m just looking for something to watch, but these 3 never fail to get my attention and keep it with every video.
Alison has to be the strongest person ever!! Thank God for that group of kids that stopped to help her. God bless them all!!!! ❤
Amen may blessings rain on them always 🌧️
That makes this inspiring. Realize her strength, you got that in you too.
😮😅😅😅😅😅😅
In all my years of studying true crime, I've not heard a case like this. Miracle after miracle after miracle!
This is the first case I couldn't hold my tears. She is absolutely hero! But also veterinary student Tian is also perfect humanbeing. If they had passed like the other car or if Tian hadn't fought to keep her alive, maybe Alison wouldn't have survived. I hope life brings Tian to good and brave people like him.
The part about Tian coming up with a system to help keep her alive was so amazing that it made my eyes water. I hope they gave him a medal. 🥇
There are a lot of true crime streamers out there but no one holds a candle to you Danielle. Your depth of research is impressive while your commentary always compassionate and caring. Listening to you shows makes me feel like I’m sitting in my kitchen while a good friend is filling me in on the latest news. I look forward to my hour-long chat with Danielle each and every Sunday afternoon. Hugs 💞
To hear that Tiean was able to help deliver her second child brought tears to my eyes!! You are a warrior Alison!!
I watched the amazon documentary and I was appalled by the brutality she endured; And I was so impressed by her resolve and determination to live. ❤😮.
Hearing Allison's injuries and what she had to endure to get to the road was.... beyond shocking.... how she did it is honestly amazing.... I can't even imagine the mental fortitude one has to have to hold your own head on and sling your intestines in with your own tshirt....
Her story will forever be in my head and my heart!
Been with you from the beginning and I am so happy to see your success. It is understandable, of course, as you invest so much of yourself in the presentation of your cases. It is obvious that you actually care about these victims and telling their stories when they no longer can. May you experience continued success💫
I would love to see you do an episode on the Sylvia Likens murder it’s absolutely insane! I feel like more people need to learn about it.
I think this is the first ever video where I had to hold my hand over my mouth whilst listening to the gruesome details. I got goosebumps when Danielle said she survived ❤️🙏
Ever since I watched this documentary on Amazon Prime, it has always been in the back of my mind. She suffered greatly and yet she still managed to achieve things she thought impossible. Much love to you, Alison.
What’s the name of the documentary
i would like to know the name of the documentary too? :)
Alison@@JMarel
I’ve heard this case be told by probably 20 different people. Every single time I hear it, my heart just aches for her. Yes she survived but it’s just so horrific and sad
I still CAN'T even begin to FATHOM that this is a TRUE story.. Thank god the good Lord was with her. Someone seriously, give her an award for the strongest WILL to survive! What a story; Alison you are such a HUGE INSPIRATION!!! BLESS this SPECIAL lady!
Soo that good lord is so sadistic that he was with her while she was being raped and then killed almost to death watching all of this apparently while doing nothing about it just so that he can be the savior later on...the fact that u guys want to believe in such a disturbed God is stupid and scary at the same time....
The amount of times I literally screamed out loud listening to this one…thank you for covering this! I wouldn’t believe this, if anyone else had told me
I've rewatched and recommended this video so many times, because of how strong Alison is! 💪
So proud to be a South African seeing her strength!
Allison was MEANT to live!!! Thank God and her angels for helping her fight thru such a horrible attack! She is one strong woman and im sooo happy she was able to tell her story and get the monsters caught!
Perhaps your god should have saved her going through it in the first place!
@@janetpendlebury6808ew...do you say this to other people's religions or just Christians? 🤨
@@janetpendlebury6808so your gonna blame God for her attack rather than the people who did this to her? God isn’t a being that interferes with humanities choices.They chose to do that to her God gave her the strength to believe in herself so she could make it. Everything that happened to her wasn’t coincidental she was put on this earth for a special reason.
@@janetpendlebury6808what a terrible thing to say! Shame on you! I have lots of chronic health problems and God is the only reason I haven’t given up on life. Think before leaving such disrespectful comments 😡Blame the evil men who did this to her, who has freewill, not God who helped her survive this.
Well does that mean that those who died from attacks were meant to die?
I live in South Africa, it's a very sad one but she is an amazing woman. She has come through so much.
This is such a powerful story. I'm knocked out at the dichotomy between encountering humanity at its utmost ugly and horrific, then experiencing the absolute best and beautiful side of humans. What an interesting study of the contrast between such pronounced extremes, one incident/encounter on top of the other, back to back. One an evil nightmare, the other actual humanity and compassion. There are bad guys out there, very bad guys, but there are also really good people out there, too. Thank goodness for that.
This woman is amazing and inspiring.
Very well said! We're in a fallen world, and this is truly a spiritual battle. We have free will & satan is real, so awful things happen; but Jesus Christ is God and still loves us and shows powerful miracles every day. Jesus Christ is returning soon, and this wickedness will end.
Amen 😊
@@PridelessChickzand Amen 🙏
So glad you covered this case! I’ve watched the documentary Alison and what she was able to survive is nothing short of a miracle. What Franz and Teans did to her is sickening and at a level of depravity that is indescribable. The fact that they’ve been released…there are no words 🤬😡, and to think that the judge in their case had even noted their files that they should never be paroled…like, how are they even released???
Haven't even watched this yet but I have the most admiration for Alison Botha. I heard her story many years ago and after going through the most unimaginable situation, to me. But her words and her story changed a lot of how I view my situation.
“No matter the circumstances, you always control your attitude, your beliefs and the choices you make..” ~ Alison Botha, Survivor & Inspirational Speaker.
What an amazing woman. I have the utmost respect for her and I think of her often. When it gets harder and harder for me, I remember her words and her plight.
Thank you for covering this remarkable woman.
With how Allison turned her trauma into helping people and how she survived it reminds me of the Kara Robinson case from the states.
I remember how he called Alison by name during the court case. Everybody was horrified because it made it very “personal” for Alison.
