Cries Unheard: The Donna Yaklich Story 30 years old

A desperate and terrifying marriage left her with but one choice, to kill to survive.

Donna Yaklich meets Dennis the policeman and thinks she might have found a good relationship. But Dennis is obsessed with weight-lifting and uses steroids, which make him aggressive and abusive. Getting out of the relationship isn't easy as Dennis isn't willing to let her go, and Donna's options are narrowed down to one remaining alternative.
