A heartfelt testament to the resilience of the human spirit, and the potential of science to create a safer world.
In Silent Witness, I share the story of a brutal assault that nearly claimed my life at just 19 years old. For years, I was paralyzed by fear as my attacker remained unknown, until DNA evidence brought him to justice, ensuring he would spend nearly 138 years behind bars.
This book offers hope and healing for victims, and also is an inside look at the power of forensic DNA to create policy change, provide justice and prevent future tragedies.

About Ashley :
I am a motivational speaker, victim advocate and founder of DNA Justice Project; a non-profit that focuses on educating the public and policy makers on the value of forensic DNA in the criminal justice system. I testify all over the country to support legislation that will maximize the use of forensic DNA and advanced DNA technology, and have worked globally to spark conversations on how to come together to put an end to sexual violence.
I am inspired to do this work every day because of my incredible children and strong belief that every victim deserves justice.
Through healing practices of herbal medicine and teachings of yoga, I have found that beautiful, although difficult, transformations can arise out of the deepest traumas.
