"Breathe Again- Surviving Rape" Today on the Susan Murphy Milano Show

It was a hot July night in 1985, and the Texas sixth-grader Lavina Masters had been sexually assaulted by an unknown suspect. This process -- collecting evidence for a rape kit -- lasted several hours was "devastating." But just as difficult, says Masters, was the 20-year wait for that evidence to yield results.

Lavina discussed in a recent interview with CNN how her rape kit sat idle until 2005, when the Dallas Police Department re-opened her case, as part of a new initiative to solve old crimes.

Please join us for a very special hour with Author and national safety prevention expert Lavinia Masters. And Lisa Fiorese Michels a board member with Project Meridian.org and a noted speaker on "Post Traumatic Stress Syndrome" and educating those whom often feel shame and embarrassment when the crime of rape is committed against them.
