A Dinner with Mildred D. Muhammad 
National speaker and former wife of the D.C. Sniper

April 6, 2010 6:00pm at Occasions Restaurant
286 East Front Street, Burlington

Mildred D. Muhammad is most readily recognized as former wife of John Allen Muhammad – the convicted and now executed DC Sniper who terrorized the Washington DC metro area in late 2002. However, many are unaware that these horrendous attacks were a continuation of the fear tactics and abuse he inflicted upon Mildred, which included him emptying their bank accounts, kidnapping their children for 18 months, and stalking her to the DC area.
 
After several years of silence, she shares her own story of the day-to-day experiences of abuse and how it affected herself and her three children. Mildred is now Founder/Executive Director of After the Trauma, Inc., a consultant with the Office for Victims of Crime, author of two books “Scared Silent” and the workbook “A Survivor’s Journal,” and a national spokesperson and advocate for victims and survivors of Domestic Violence.
