One Woman Survived and She’s Here to Tell Her Story
In 1988, Jane Boroski was attacked and stabbed 27 times by a stranger while she was pregnant—yet she lived to tell the tale. Dark Valley places her at its heart. Now, Jane joins host Jennifer Amell to reopen the cold cases of the other victims, driven by a fierce determination to uncover the truth and demand justice.
This isn’t just a retrospective look at old files. Dark Valley unfolds in real time, following fresh leads, uncovering hidden connections, and bringing the victims’ voices back to the forefront. Along the way, Jennifer collaborates with law enforcement, criminal profiler Dr. John Philpin, families of the victims, and local residents who still carry the weight of these crimes.
And now, for the first time in decades, there’s a new sliver of hope. DNA testing is currently underway, and as the results near, so too does the possibility of long-awaited answers. Closure may finally be within reach.
