He Tried to Bury His Ex-Wife Alive

In October 2022, a woman named Jenny survived a harrowing kidnapping and attempted murder orchestrated by her estranged husband, Chay Kyong. After a history of domestic abuse and a contentious divorce battle over military retirement funds, Chay attacked Jenny in her home, binding her with duct tape and stabbing her before burying her alive in a shallow forest grave. Despite her injuries, Jenny utilized her Apple Watch to alert emergency services and eventually managed to claw her way out of the earth once Chay fell asleep in his van. Police apprehended Chay the following morning, discovering incriminating evidence and a farewell note to his children in his vehicle. Although he claimed PTSD influenced his actions, he was ultimately sentenced to nearly 14 years in prison for the crime. This account details the victim's incredible will to survive and the long-term patterns of control that led to the near-fatal assault.
