Cries Unheard: The Donna Yaklich Story

Cries Unheard: The Donna Yaklich Story (also released as Victim of Rage) is a 1994 made-for-TV film based on the real-life case of Donna Yaklich, a Colorado woman convicted of hiring two men to kill her abusive husband, police officer Dennis Yaklich. While the film portrays Donna as a survivor of years of severe domestic violence with no safe way to escape, the true story remains the subject of debate. Supporters believe the movie accurately reflects the abuse she endured, while Dennis Yaklich's family has strongly disputed that portrayal, arguing the film presents only Donna's perspective. In this episode, we examine the real case, the evidence, the controversies, and the question that continues to divide people decades later: how closely did the movie reflect the truth?
