About this video
At 26, Ellie Wilkins was expecting her first child, a daughter she and her partner named Aurora. When she responded to a Craigslist ad for maternity clothes, what should have been a simple exchange turned into a nightmare — an attack that left her fighting for her life and tragically took the life of her unborn daughter. Ellie recounts the moment she realized something was wrong, the brutal assault that followed, and the shocking truth behind her attacker’s motive.
In this emotional and powerful interview, Ellie shares how she survived unimaginable trauma, faced intense media scrutiny, and ultimately found the strength to heal. Now a therapist dedicated to helping others through their own pain, she reflects on her journey from fear and loss to trust and purpose: “Our struggles are what shape us.”
