Episode Details

A terrified woman, Molly Ticehurst, documented her escalating fear of ex-boyfriend Daniel Billings, who threatened to kill her and even cut off her head. After reporting him to police in 2024, Billings spiraled into rage, admitting to killing their puppy and later brutally stabbing Molly in under a minute after breaking into her home. His chilling letter and videos foreshadowed the attack. Sentenced to 28 years with 20 non-parole, his crime sparked sweeping reforms: “Molly’s Law” removed bail decisions from registrars, made coercive control a crime, and stiffened penalties for violating domestic violence orders.
