That Day

March 20, 1984 started out as a promising spring day for a single mom from Cuyahoga Falls, Ohio. It wouldn’t end that way. Phyllis Cottle is assaulted in broad daylight as she leaves work, forced into her car at knifepoint, and left wondering why no one came to her aid. We recommend you first listen to the Prologue. *2024 Update: Based on listener feedback, we've revised a portion of this episode.
