I've obviously never posted on this site before but have lurked for several years. Long enough to know that there are some decent people on this board who believe in the power of prayer.

I would like to request prayers and support for my girlfriend Rebekah and her family. She was beaten severely by a crazy ex boyfriend a couple days ago in a mall parking lot. He was able to get away and she was found laying on the ground by a couple walking through the lot. The doctors are having a real hard time stabilizing her and she keeps fading in and out.

I obviously know none of you and vice versa, but at a time like this we could use all the prayers and support possible. Rebekah is an absolute angel and we have big plans for each other in life. She deserves none of this and I please ask that you all would take a few minutes of your day to ask God to give her strength and grant her life.

Thanks so much to all those that do!!

Here is a picture of her. I just don't understand how someone could lay a hand on such a beautiful person. She has the most loving heart of anyone I've ever met in my life. Thank you guys for all your support.

Yeah, not really how I would of liked to start my first thread let alone first post. I do appreciate your prayers though and I know she does too. She's completely non responsive but she continues to fight. I just think a few extra prayers will give her the extra strength she needs.

Couldn't of said it much better than TinyE. I always hate to hear when things like this happen. I pray the Lord give you strength and give the doctors the wisdom to do whatever they can to help her, and pray that she continues to fight. Things like this make me sick to my stomach, hang in there dude.

Thanks I really do appreciate it. It has been extremely frustrating. I lost touch with her for about a full day which is extremely rare for the two of us. I had a bad feeling something was wrong and sure enough I received a phone call from her brother mid day yesterday explaining what had happened.

Unfortunately no, not to my knowledge. He's hurt her once before we ever got together and has a history of following her around the country. She is the sweetest girl ever and it's so hard understanding how anyone could ever put their hands on her. At the very least, he certainly deserves an extended stay in one of this country's lovely prisons.

I'm sure they have been given information on him. She has a restraining order on him too. Now it's just a matter of finding him. He lives in South Carolina and this incident happend in Texas. That's where she's from and had originally gone down there to visit with family. He's on the run somewhere. I just hope they find him fast.

Yes, the police know who it is... Yes they have all of his information, unfortunately, since he's found her here... he's fallen off the map. Everyone is doing all they can in order to find him. She's not doing well at the moment. She's been through 3 surgeries today, still has another 3-4 before she's done. Please continue to pray for her because like Blitzed said, she doesn't deserve this. She's never done anything wrong in her entire life. Thank you all again.

And the only thing I'd like more than him getting caught by the police would be to spend some quality time with this piece of dirt myself.

Yeah thanks. On one hand I feel so helpless and really wish there was more I could do. On the other I'm just trying to spread the word to as many people as possible.

Guys if you could continue to pray for Rebekah I would greatly appreciate it. She is still in a coma and is not breathing on her own yet. The doctors are still having a really hard time keeping her stable. They performed another operation on her chest late yesterday afternoon but she will still require a few more. She's a really tough girl but is in the biggest fight she's ever had and really needs all the prayer she can get. I love her with every ounce of my body and feel so helpless. I really just want as many people as possible to pray for her.

Well I still don't know all the details myself yet as to exactly what happened. I do know she has a collapsed lung and trauma to the head. She was in the process of recovering from a car wreck in which her arm was previously broken. I really haven't tried to picture what happened too many times, but she's so tiny it wouldn't take much to get her to the ground. After that I would imagine that a**hole proceeded to kick her. Only reason I would guess that is one the collapsed lung and two that she probably had her arms up to protect herself hence the need for surgery on her arm. I hate even thinking about this, but he literally just pounded and pounded on her.

Unfortunately no. They have all his information, but he lives in South Carolina so there's quite a bit of ground for the police to cover. He's an officer in the military and I'm sure used resources of our fine government to track her down. I have no evidence, but I would assume he is using these same resources to disappear at the moment. He has a couple kids that I would think he surely has to see eventually. He will slip up at some point, but they need to find him.

I personally have no pictures, but I definitely know his name. The sad part is that Rebekah had told me she contacted his superiors several times to report his behavior and have them look into her suspicion that he was using government resources to find her. She said she was just laughed at and that they basically protected him. She has had him arrested several times before and each time he got off with little to no punishment. Someone was definitely looking out for him. It's just very sad really that it all had to come to this. As I previsouly mentioned, all she ever wanted was just to be left alone.

I very seriously doubt this. The military doesn't take these types of accusations lightly. They'll garnish wages for support and punish severely for minor infractions, much less something more severe. I was forced to take a 6 week class for having a shouting match with my (at that time) wife while living on base housing.

In any case, I still wish her well. Just contesting the claim that the military would somehow protect one of their own. It's not like Hollywood.

I don't doubt that 99 times out of 100 this would be the case. However, I also have no doubts that what Rebekah told me is the absolute truth. He is fairly high up the ranks (soon to be E8) and my only guess is that may be the difference in this particular case. I was not in on the conversation itself, but I do know for a fact that she contacted his superiors and I do know that no punishments were handed down.

Just want to thank you all again for your continued support and update you on Rebekah.

They finally caught that a**hole last night and, though I don't know the details, I at least feel good knowing he's one step closer to being assigned his inmate number. As far as Rebekah's health, she has finally been stabilized. However, she still is in a coma and still requires assistance breathing. The doctors performed an additional surgery on her arm last night as well.

Again I want to thank you all and would ask that you please continue to pray for Rebekah. Her recovery will be a lengthy process I am sure, but every little sign of improvement is very encouraging.

Thank you so much for the continued support. Just wanted to provide an update as well. Bekah is still in a coma and still not breathing on her own. However, we did get an encouraging sign last night. It was bittersweet, but she tried to breathe last night. Her body couldn't handle it and she went in to respiratory shock, but none the less she tried and that is very encouraging. Please continue to pray for her if you could please. It's going to be a very long recovery but every little step forward is great news!

Thanks, it's greatly appreciated. It happened in Dallas. She is from there and had originally gone down to see her family. And yes, they finally caught the p.o.s. late Friday night.

Just got some additional news I thought I would share as well - she finally started breathing on her own this morning!!! It's another small step, but very encouraging. Now we just need her to wake up and we'll have a better idea of what she's up against for recovery.

I have been showing them some respect and refrained myself from this until today, and I should also point out that BuckinKaeding, and several members in here has requested that this thread be sticked.

I'm sorry, but when a loved one of somebody gets beaten down like silly and it's life is on the line, and a person specifically asks for help/prayer/assistance (whatever you want to call it) and it gets brushed away? I'm sorry.

None of this "discussion" would have happened if they just simply sticked it, as several members has requested it. Simple as that.

I'm done with this issue.

Be sure to also try to get witnesses, if there were any present. The sooner the police takes their statements, the better it will be. Wouldn't want to wait out longer, where people's memory "mysteriously" forgets things, you know?

Nothing of real significance to report other than the fact that it does look very hopeful that Bekah will be able to make a full recovery. Doctors are saying that time is the only thing keeping her from that now. She's still having assistance with her breathing and can't really move yet. She can wiggle her toes, move her hands and fingers, and move her right arm a little, but that's about it. Doctors seem to think now that she has some damage to a couple vertabrae as well. Her memory is still playing tricks on her and she gets real confused at times. Sometimes she even struggles with her own name. But on the brighter side, every second, every minute, every hour, and every day that goes by she is closer to being better.

I've been talking to her on the phone regularly now (multiple times a day) and she's been in good spirits all things considered. She is such an amazingly strong person. She was actually the one telling me jokes the other night making me feel better :D.

I told her about this thread the other day too and about all the nice people that prayed for her. She had me read every post to her over the phone and asked that I deliver a message in return:

She said to thank everyone for their prayers and support. She was really touched. She asked me to request additional prayers; however, not for herself. She asks that you all would pray for her ex. She understands that he was wrong and wants him to go to prison for a long time, but she wants to ask God to give him the strength to move on. This girl seriously holds no hate in her heart and I look at it as a testament to what a good person she is. She asked me to request this a couple days ago but I've hesitated for obvious reasons. I can't forgive him as easily, but seeing this thread bumped to the top I figured it was a sign I should go ahead and do it.

Thank you all again.

I could see the confusion I guess, but I am the boyfriend and JJONES23 is her brother. When everything first happened I posted prayer requests on a few different websites. He told me he wanted to see them. When I gave him this one he went ahead and registered and posted himself. I told him not to tell you guys he's a Cowboys fan though - OOPS! :)

Sadly no one has come forward yet. I would tend to agree with you and think that surely someone had to see this. For now though the police are only able to go with the surveillance footage. Bekah will obviously be the primary witness once her memory comes back to her. Because of her brain injury and just the trauma of the incident itself, she has no recollection of what happened. It should come back to her eventually but the timeline for that happening is uncertain. Poor girl certainly has nightmares about it though. She's called me a few times in the middle of the night terrified and in tears. All she says over and over is "He's here! He's here!". It's very sad really.

Couldn't agree more. As I said earlier, I'm having a hard time forgiving him but I'm trying at Bekah's request. Her and I talked about this again last night for a little while and she just told me "If I can do it then so can you". Poor girl is such an angel.

God knows this and I am sure she is going to make a full recovery and God will help her to have the strength to move and one day her bad dreams will end. With a man in life like you to be there for her I am sure that will help her a lot. Best wishes to you both and her family.

I hesitated to even bump this back to the top because I don't want to keep throwing this in people's faces, but we received some discouraging news today and could use some more prayer. Up until this point the doctors did not feel that Bekah was healthy enough for a CT scan. Well one was done Friday and we learned the results today. Bekah has a lot of internal bleeding in her head and her brain is swollen. The doctors are going to have to perform surgery to relieve the pressure. The type of operation is somewhat common with severe head injuries, but none the less it requires surgery on and around the brain so naturally poor Bekah is terrified. I'd be lying if I said I wasn't pretty freaked out myself. So once again, if you all could continue to pray for God to give Bekah the strength to get through this and for the doctors to be an extension of his healing hands I would greatly appreciate it. The poor girl has fought so hard up until this point, but after today's news she is struggling to maintain hope.

Hasn't been determined yet. The doctor that spoke with Bekah said he was going to consult with another doctor just to get a second opinion before setting anything up. I didn't get to hear him myself, but Bekah said he was pretty certain this was going to have to happen.

I feel like such a broken record, but thanks again to everyone that continues to show support and pray for Bekah.
