It's shortly after 9am on Sunday Morning. Kerri McDermott answers her door, finding her neighbor's children asking for help. They can't find Dad and Mom is crying in her bedroom. McDermott calls 911. Police find Breanne Pennington lying in her bed with a gunshot wound to the face. Three spent shell casings are near her body, but Aaron Pennington is gone. Investigators executed a search warrant for the Pennington home, as well as Aaron Pennington's cell phone. It was what was found on Aaron Pennington's cell phone that led a judge to issue a warrant for his arrest on murder. According to court documents investigators found a note from Saturday evening, the night before his wife's body was found, The note said: "Don't say anything. Be quite [sic] If she wakes up just say you're getting nasal spray. Get on side of bed - very close proximity on bed. Put hole in her head." Pennington has yet to be found.

In our second special birthday episode, host JJ is joined by Joan Peterson, a longtime Brady chapter member and leader, who became a gun violence prevention and domestic violence activist after her sister, Barbara Lund, was murdered. Barbara and her boyfriend, former Iowa state legislator Kevin Kelly, were killed by Lund's estranged husband. Together, they detail why domestic violence cannot be left invisible. Then, hosts Kelly and JJ are joined by Kate Ranta (author of Killing Kate: A Story of Turning Abuse and Tragedy into Transformation and Triumph and gun violence prevention advocate) and American journalist, writer, and professor Rachel Louise Snyder. Snyder's eye-opening book, No Visible Bruises: What We Don't Know About Domestic Violence Can Kill Us, is an absolutely essential read for those who want to address private violence, and addresses how in the US, 1 in 5 women report experiencing severe physical violence from an intimate partner during their lifetime. Terrifyingly, when guns are introduced into that terrorism, the risk of serious death and injury only increases, with the American Journal of Public Health reporting that in domestic violence situations the risk of death is five times greater when a gun is present. If you or someone you know may be at risk, please call the National Domestic Violence Hotline at 1-800-799-SAFE (7233), or by text at the same number by texting the word "START." There are also advocates available online 24/7 at thehotline.org.

Thankfully, Ranta survived the violent shooting inflicted against her by her ex-husband, but many women do not--56% of women murdered by an intimate partner from 2010 to 2019 were killed with a firearm. To discuss what we don't know about domestic violence, how this violence continues to occur, and the role guns play in continuing to make individuals vulnerable, hosts Kelly and JJ are joined by Kate and by American journalist, writer, and professor Rachel Louise Snyder.

She talks about her latest book, which is "No Visible Bruises: What We Don't Know About Domestic Violence Can Kill Us." As was noted of this widely-acclaimed study by The Washington Post: "Compulsively readable.... In a writing style that's as gripping as good fiction, as intimate as memoir, and deeply informed, [Snyder] takes us into the lives of the abused, the abusers, and the survivors.... The stories are devastating, but Snyder keeps us reading by pointing us toward possible solutions.... After a few chapters, I was telling a prosecutor friend that everyone in her office -- no, everyone in the state who deals with family violence -- had to read this book. Because it will save lives."

In Sep, our book club read Rachael Louise Snyder’s No Visible Bruises: What We Don’t Know About Domestic Violence Can Kill Us for our focus on intimate partner violence, which often remains hidden despite the fact that it affects 1 in 3 women and 1 in 4 men according to the National Coalition Against Domestic Violence. In this episode, Leigh talks with the executive director of the Lighthouse, Rhyon Ervin, about these alarming stats and what their agency does to help victims. The Lighthouse is a non-profit agency providing shelter and resources for victims of abuse in the Monroe, Conecuh, Baldwin and Escambia counties. With over 26 years experience with the agency, Ervin has unique insight into how the current pandemic has increased abuse cases, but has also limited women's access to shelter, legal assistance, and the many other resources they need to be able to leave an abusive relationship. Rhyon explains what it often takes for people to leave, the safety plan a person should have in place for leaving, why it’s important for women to be believed and supported even when they retract their statements and go back, and how families and friends can support their loved ones in these situations. Leigh and Rhyon also address the more elusive emotional and psychological abuse along with sexual coercion, which many victims may be experiencing without about being able to properly identify as abuse. The Lighthouse needs donations, resources, and volunteers for their daily operations. If you would like to help, you can go to their website—the lighthouseabeacon.org, follow them on FB @abeacon. If you live in our area, you can call: The Lighthouse crisis line—947-6008 or 1-800-650-6522 The Lighthouse sexual assault hotline—1-800-543-5068 The Penelope House in Mobile—251-342-8994 www.thelighthouseabeacon.org www.acadv.org www.alabamacoalitionagainstrape.org www.nnedv.org www.ncadv.org www.rainn.org www.domesticshelters.org
Domestic violence—especially domestic violence homicide—is not an easy topic. In this week’s episode of Woman Worriers, host Elizabeth Cush interviews Rachel Louise Snyder, award-winning journalist and author of No Visible Bruises: What We Don’t Know About Domestic Violence Can Kill Us. Quotes: “ A billion people around the world are victims of domestic violence.” — Rachel Louise Snyder “We misunderstand the nature of domestic violence…everything from the origins of violence to the outcomes of violence.’” — Rachel Louise Snyder on victims of domestic violence homicide “Leaving gets them killed.’” — Rachel Louise Snyder on victims of domestic violence homicide “Leaving is a process. It’s not an event.’” — Rachel Louise Snyder “She did not recant because she lied. She recanted to stay alive. She recanted to keep her children alive.” — Rachel Louise Snyder, No Visible Bruises “Something like 80%–85% of men in prison today have domestic violence, either as witnesses or victims, in their childhood (or sexual assault).” — Rachel Louise Snyder “Victims never recognize themselves; no one ever thinks they’re a typical victim.” — Rachel Louise Snyder Show Notes: Domestic violence isn’t a private matter. It affects families, communities—all of us. And it can be deadly. It’s not an easy topic to talk about, but it needs to come out of the darkness.

Journalist Rachel Louise Snyder has looked at domestic violence around the world in her new book “ No Visible Bruises: What We Don’t Know About Domestic Violence Can Kill Us.”
We call it domestic violence. We call it private violence. Sometimes we call it intimate terrorism. But whatever we call it, we generally do not believe it has anything at all to do with us, despite the World Health Organization deeming it a “global epidemic.” In America, domestic violence accounts for 15 percent of all violent crime, and yet it remains locked in silence, even as its tendrils reach unseen into so many of our most pressing national issues, from our economy to our education system, from mass shootings to mass incarceration to #MeToo. We still have not taken the true measure of this problem. In her latest book “No Visible Bruises: What We Don’t Know About Domestic Violence Can Kill Us,” journalist Rachel Louise Snyder gives context for what we don't know we're seeing. Join us for a conversation with Rachel Louise Snyder about this important issue in this installment of “Leonard Lopate at Large” on WBAI.
