Episode 6: Bound. Stabbed. Buried Alive. The Young An Case

He beat her.

He stabbed her.

He bound her with duct tape…

And then he buried her alive.

After a bitter divorce, she spent 12 hours underground—bleeding, suffocating, and fighting to stay alive.

You think you’ve heard it all…

But this?

This is the kind of horror most wouldn’t survive.

A woman—attacked, silenced, left for dead.

Her attacker?

Not some random predator.

But a man she once loved.

Her estranged husband.

A man who was supposed to protect her.

But instead…

He tried to end her life.

Why?

Well… the reason will make you question just how far someone will go when they think they’ve lost control.

That old saying—“If I can’t have you, no one can”—hits home in this one.

It wasn’t just rage.

It was power.

It was calculated control.

He thought he got away with it.

She was never supposed to survive.

Bound.

Stabbed.

Buried.

Alive.
