279. Four Pounds of Pressure: The Survival of Danielle Leukam

Danielle Leukam is a survivor of a horrifying home invasion. While she and her three-year-old son slept, a masked and armed intruder broke in during the night. For the next five hours, Danielle was zip-tied and brutally assaulted before the attacker finally fled. For months, his identity remained a mystery—until DNA from another assault, committed hours away, matched her rape kit. That’s when Danielle discovered the unthinkable: her attacker was someone from her past who had been stalking her. He had never been to her home, never had her address—yet somehow, he found her. Today, Danielle bravely shares her story in her memoir, Four Pounds of Pressure: A Memoir of Rape, Survival, and Taking Back My Power.

**The following episode of Strictly Stalking contains graphics depictions of physical violence, abduction, torture, and sexual assualt. Please listen with caution.**
