29. From the article, it looks like the incident in question occurred in Nov 2012.

Feb 2013

The photographer had met them 2.5 monhts earlier, and they had been dating one month prior to that. So it looks like the sum total of their relationship was 3.5 months. That is a remarkably short time in terms of these types of situations - they usually drag on much longer before the woman is finally able to leave. I wonder if knowing that she had a husband to go back to helped with the decision - if their marriage was permananently broken and she didn't have that alternative, I wonder if she would have stayed with the abuser. The photographer is going to go see her in Alaska to see how she's doing. I hope there is a happy ending.
