Now to an extraordinary story of survival a woman says she was just 19 when she was attacked at her apartment complex in Orange County california, and for 18 years her case went unsolved. But then, a Stunning Development as 48 hours correspondent reporting the suspect was a hollywood actor. It was december 1990 when victoria was viciously attacked by two men in her apartment parking lot. I was kidnapped, i was dead. Victoria had also been sexually assaulted that night. Detective don howell was assigned to the case. I set Everything Else aside to work this one. Investigators had dna evidence that yielded profiles for two men, but the case went 2008. I received a phone call that i waited for for 18 years. I said yeah, we got him. Joseph son. Then they made a surprising discovery, son was an actor with a role in a hollywood blockbuster, Austin Powers International Man of mystery. My rack. I thought are you serious . He is in my home . Authorities now had one of victorias attackers in custody, but before trial, prosecutor eric discovered the statute of limitations for rape and kidnapping have run out. He had to dig to find another solution. So a light went off. Why dont i charge torture. Because torture carries the possibility of life in prisonment, there is no statute of limitations there would bring victoria justice. Coming on.

These two men committed this terrible brutal assault and then seemingly led a crime free life.

The risk of dvt and pe blood clots. Xarelto is also proven to reduce the risk of stroke in people with afib, not caused by a heart valve problem. For people with afib currently well managed on warfarin, there is limited information on how xarelto and warfarin compare in reducing the risk of stroke. You know, taking warfarin, i had to deal with that blood testing routine. I couldnt have a healthy salad whenever i wanted. I found another way. Yeah, treatment with xarelto. Hey, safety first. Like all blood thinners, dont stop taking xarelto without talking to your doctor, as this may increase your risk of a blood clot or stroke. While taking, you may bruise more easily and it may take longer for bleeding to stop. Xarelto may increase your risk of bleeding if you take certain medicines. Xarelto can cause serious and in rare cases, fatal bleeding. Get help right away for unexpected bleeding, unusual bruising, or tingling. If you have had spinal anesthesia while on xarelto , watch for back pain or any nerve or muscle related signs or symptoms. Do not take xarelto if you have an artificial heart valve or abnormal bleeding. Tell your doctor before all planned medical or dental procedures. Before starting xarelto , tell your doctor about xarelto is the number one prescribed blood thinner in its class. Well that calls for a round of kevin nealons. Make mine an arnold palmer. Same here. With xarelto there is no regular blood monitoring and no known dietary restrictions. Treatment with xarelto was the right move for us. Ask your doctor about xarelto.
