About this episode
The episode tells the harrowing story of Judy Malinowski, a domestic violence survivor who was set on fire by her partner.
When Judy Malinowski met Michael Slager in April 2015, she was ready for love again after beating ovarian cancer and opioid addiction but the relationship quickly turned violent. After dating for only a few months, Slager poured gasoline on Judy and set her on fire, burning more than 80% of her body. Judy's unforgettable story is one of extraordinary courage, resilience, and determination in the face of unimaginable suffering. Her will to live to make a difference for domestic violence survivors is inspirational.
