I remember getting strangled and waking up, but then he left, but he came back.

And then when he seen I was still there and had come round, that's when he said, like, if you go to the police, if you tell anyone, I will come back and kill you.

So I'm not sure if he thought that I was gone and that's why he came back.

Yeah, obviously I was going to call the police straight away.

Maybe, yeah.

So I live on the border, and he defended in Victoria, and this crime was in New South Wales.

And because this was 20 years ago, we didn't have a national DNA registry.

So he wasn't picked up until they joined the registry six years later.

So he had been to prison for stalking, breaking in, leaving his DNA on women's beds.

Yes.

So I stayed for a bit and then I ended up going to Queensland.

Yeah, because I kind of felt like...

You kind of feel like a deer in headlights everywhere you go.

You're just like, is it him?

Is it him?

Where is he?

Is he still watching me?

Obviously I moved house.

The first two days I was like, no, I'm definitely not moving house.

I'm definitely not giving into this.
