A woman in Washington state was stabbed and buried alive in the woods by her ex-husband. According to a report by NBC News, despite the horrible incident, the woman somehow managed to survive by wiggling around the shallow grave for hours to keep the dirt off her face.
According to a statement of reasonable suspicion submitted on Wednesday in the county's superior court, the panicked woman was discovered sheltering behind a shed in the front yard of a house by the Thurston County Sheriff's office shortly before 1 a.m. on Monday.
As quoted by NBC News, "My husband is trying to kill me," the woman screamed and said, according to the court document.
"She had duct tape still wrapped around her neck, lower face, and ankles," the filing said. "There was extensive bruising to her legs, arms and head, and her clothing and hair were covered in dirt," the document added.
