When Tracey met Charles “Buck” Thurman, she was a mama’s girl in mourning. After her mother passed away from lung cancer, Tracey dropped out of school in Connecticut to move far, far away to Florida where she met a cocky young man who wooed her.

Buck easily and believably told her he loved her and he was very protective of her. Tracey said that he made her feel safe.

The abuse didn’t begin right away. His protectiveness slid into obsessiveness and his temper edged into violence.

This is the story of his abuse, which culminated on the day Buck nearly killed Tracey while a police officer was present (but did not intervene).

*This episode is a frank description of the relationship between Tracey and Buck Thurman, including details of abuse. Listener discretion is advised
