In this episode of Crime Watch Daily: The horrific scalping of Marilyn Stanley, a single mother left mutilated and bleeding to death. Warning: Some of the details in this story are quite disturbing.

When mothers don't like their child's spouse, it is because they imagine themselves with that person! If they can't see themself with them, THEN THEY ABSOLUTELY WOULDN'T WONT THEIR PRECIOUS CHILD with the said person. Children listen to your parents when they say He/She isn't the right person for you!

If testing positive for the traits and or with violent history of assaults should be sentenced MUCH more severely because there is no cure, there is NO fixing these monsters! Jail if necessary for life. Otherwise, if released a tracking monitor and strict curfew etc.

It's easy to judge, and what you say is of course good advice, but for those who haven't experienced it, it's hard to conceive of the mindset of a woman being stalked by a former lover.

Every time she came in injuries got worse and worse. I won’t describe because it haunts me. Less than a year later on an unrelated case a cop who knew her and was there with the nurses informed them she was found dead. They’ve got to be scarred for life. I’m sure her babies will be too.. I’ve been very cautious and able to see signs of a potential abuser. I know nurses are tough as nails but some things really get to you and I hope you have an amazing support system and a good work life balance and I hope you have the most wonderful life.

First of all Marilyn 100% pointed the finger at him for the crime. Second, a plastic surgeon is an expert witness who knows the difference between a dog attack and a knife wound. A dog attack would crate jagged tears in the skin. A knife cut would be a clean slice. A normal individual with common sense would know that. He is such a disgusting piece of trash. He committed a crime, blamed a dog, disfigured and almost killed her on purpose yet based is defense solely on the fact the incident was so traumatic that Marilyn couldn't remember everything. However, the judge and jury saw what he did and that says it all. Maybe he will have a new boyfriend in prison who will be extremely jealous and abusive towards him. We can only hope.

Your know you can't live with the fact some random person walking by or fellow employees will be killed because you were such a piece of crap that didn't meet them so you sacrifice yourself. I think on this everyday all day for 3 years. I was at my camper on the lake. My beautiful sister allowed me to park it on her property. He came and the terrorizing began. He was breaking all my things that didn't work so he started threatening our 2 dogs I got lose of him ran to my sister's. It took a few minutes before he showed up. He wanted me to go back down to camper. He had doused it in gasoline. I was completely unaware. I refused so He unloaded his clip still terrorizing then he shot her in the head. Told me it was my fault then killed himself. My sister lived. She has TBI. She has no eyes. She is struggling and is in the dark. I knew something like this would eventually happen. I wish I had a better story. I wish her and I had some amazing comeback story. I wish I would have just walker back down to my camper so he could have burnt me up. There was no chance to not meet him. I had tried so many times. I was over 2 hours from my home at my camper. He followed. He always did. I pray for this girl. I pray for her self talk and spirit. I pray to come up from this and I especially pray for my sister. It's not just hard. It is impossible

As a DV survivor, I feel "lucky" that I didn't go through that level of sadism. As a former EMT who doesn't get "grossed out"...my stomach is rolling. Her strength is remarkable and I wish it was possible to go back in time and change what happened.

This story is so disturbing. Ladies, especially the younger ladies out there. Men like this NEVER change. They will always be physically and otherwise abusive. Regardless of their promise to change. Run, get away any way you can and forget him. DON'T go back.

Absolutely. Things are just that, and they can always be replaced. Never go back to get your personal items unless you have a police officer to accompany you.

It should be mandatory in schools worldwide for girls to be taught to recognise the signs of controlling, coersive behaviours, narcissistic traits, etc. It would certainly save a lot of lives.

[@jimlewis2395]

but then women would have to admit that they really arent equal to men, if they need such instruction and they will NEVER admit it They dont care how many of their fellow women get slaughtered

[@lisafraser3]

And also boys need to be taught how to take rejection. No from a girl or woman is no. You can’t react to things you don’t like with violence to a girl or woman.

Yeah, right! Blame everything on the dog! Twenty years for this maniac is not long enough. They should throw away the key! Sometimes I feel the punishment should fit the crime.

@@homemadeluty3590 animals don’t have a developed frontal lobe and cerebral cortex like us humans. If you found an animal that understands and can employ the act of cruelty, you’d be famous. Even when (for example) a male lion kills his own cub, it’s done because of survival; whereas man kills for fun, religion, out of malice, or no reason at all. A man doesn’t need to kill a child to survive, ever.

I had half my face hanging off from a childhood accident. My brother thought the same thing, that i had a mask on. He vomited when he got close enough to see my face. My heart goes out to Marilyn and her family. May karma get him in jail.

[@wkandpwrless]

When I was 9 I saw my 3 yearold brothers face ripped off by our dog. We are out as a family shooting and my brother went to pet our dog and the dog was just swinging him around by his face. I had watched a show called rescue 911 and remembered something. I got one of our sandwiches, took it out of the ziploc bag and picked up his skin, put it in the bag and put it in the ice chest. We raced to the er over an hour away. We got pulled over at one point, the cop looked inside the car, said oh shit, follow me and he escorted us at high speeds to the er. Theg were actually able to use the skin in reconstructing his face. My brother is now 38 and you can barely tell, I mean it’s obvious he has scars but considering what happened, he looks great. The surgeons did a great job. But I’m still traumatized to this day having to see that.

[@antoniabaker7770]

[@LittleBirdieFlyinHigh]

@@wkandpwrless I can’t imagine the horror of seeing your little brother being attacked by your family pet like that. I’m sorry I know you love you dogs but I not sorry islam doesn’t allow us to keep dogs. It changes something in them as domesticated pets. We are only allowed to keep them as guardians dogs outside the house, on farms, or for hunting. Never as pets inside the home. Dog attacks are on the increase, and it’s mostly family pets that people get attacked by. I’m glad your brother wasn’t left badly disfigured. Please think again before taking a dog as a family pet. Peace.

[@i.ehrenfest349]

Marilyn is a very strong personality. Being calm during an interview only shows her strength and endurance and control. It's sad how many people judge from a five minute interview if she has " come to terms with it??? How could you? She likely gets upset off camera just like anyone else...dear god really??? How is anyone qualified to judge? As if being scalped alive is a common thing nowadays!!! ???? Can peoples comments get any more ridiculous??

[@karenely3830]

@@pamelalynndonovan923 . i think she is being judged with everything she said in her story, she had low self steam, so she allowed this unconciosly. whoever has love for themselves dont let others treat them with disrespect. He bit her many times and she continued with him, Many people in her situation ended up dead. she is lucky here. But she put herself in this situation, the fact that she is calm in the interview is not because she can control her emotions etc, because she has a trauma, and ofcourse takes time to heal, But here she went out of the dark tunnerl were she was, and came out as a new person, stronger and more self steam.. Anyone who goes to traumatic event in their life goes trough the same process. Becaming stronger is a concequence of the trauma that finished, is a natural process in life of people evolution. Now i bet she values more her life and wont let others disrespect her anymore. she is in peaace, thats why she is calm in the interview.
