Danielle Knarr, 25, had dreams for herself and her children -- dreams that went unrealized. She was found stabbed to death Feb. 2 at her home in Newport News. Her boyfriend was charged in her death.
Knarr's life ended like thousands of women across the United States. Almost one-third of female homicide victims are killed by an intimate partner, according to the National Coalition Against Domestic Violence. One in every four women will experience domestic violence in her lifetime.
Friends and family members explain how Knarr was caught in a web of abuse from which she couldn't escape before it turned fatal.
A compilation of daily news articles from around the United States about deaths (including both people and animals) that appear to occur in the context of a past or present intimate relationship, focusing on 2009-present. (NOTE: this blog is limited to incidents that appear in the media and are captured by our search terms. We recognize this is not an exhaustive portrayal of all deaths resulting from intimate violence.) When is society going to realize intimate violence makes victims of us all?
