When the four were eventually arrested, the drawings were so accurate “that it was like I had taken a photograph,” LeBrane said. “’Because if I don’t, I will remain your victim forever, and you will never leave me in the beet field again.’”Īfter the attack, LeBrane worked with a police artist who developed four composites of her attackers. “In my victim impact statement, the very last thing I said: ‘I have to forgive you, Sarah Pearce,’” LeBrane said.
When she arrived at a Peninsula Daily News office for an interview, she requested that her photograph be taken right away “because once I start telling the story, I’ll start crying, and it will ruin my makeup.”Īs predicted, LeBrane started to cry when she spoke about her appearance in an Idaho courtroom last spring during the parole hearing for Pearce. Since the attack, she has been through months of medical recovery, two years of intense physical therapy and five years of psychiatric treatment, and suffered from post-traumatic stress disorder, or PTSD. She expects the broadcast will be emotional, “and I don’t want to be alone.” LeBrane plans to watch the show at a friend’s house.
