“We know that she was not able to speak due to the nature of the injury that she received on her neck. I am hoping that by now she should be able to provide some insight to the police in terms of what transpired. I know police had or have one suspect in custody. We’re hoping that we’ll be able to gather as much [evidence] to be able to charge that person.”
