Proof there is Justice, Even if it is 19 Years Later
Picture to the right is of Jennifer Schuett at the age of 8 when she was kidnapped, raped, and left for dead in 1990.
This beautiful little girl, Jennifer Schuett, in 1990 was taken from her own bed by a man who crawled through her window. He took her to a remote field, brutally raped her, slit her throat, and left her for dead.
Amazingly, 14 hours later she was found alive. This young girl is a survivor and a hero. She has lived her adult life helping other victims and speaking out in hopes to find the man who attacked her.
And now it has happened. 19 years later it happened. Dennis Earl Bradford, a 40-year-old welder, was arrested near Little Rock, Arkansas where he has lived for the last 7 years with his wife and two children. In 1990, at the time of the brutal attack, Dennis Bradford lived less than two miles from Jennifer Schuett’s apartment.
Jennifer’s Schuett’s description of her attacker to a sketch artist in 1990 turned out to be amazingly similar to Dennis Earl Bradford’s driver’s license picture from the time.
During a press conference announcing the arrest, 27-year-old Jennifer Schuett said, “This event in my life was a tragic one. Today, 19 years later, I stand here and want you all to know that I am OK. I am not a victim, but instead, victorious.” She also said “I hope that my case will remain as a reminder to all victims of violent crime to never give up hope … With determination and by using your voice to speak out, you are capable of anything”.
This woman is so brave and amazing. When she was 8 years old, this monster tried to silence her permanently, by cutting her throat and slicing her voice box. She was unable to cry or scream for help. From her hospital bed after being found, she communicated with investigators through handwritten notes what had happened to her. Even then and definitely today, she is anything but silent.
Beautiful Jennifer Schuett 2009 “Victorious’ in her own words.
