A Delaware woman who says she was severely beaten at a resort is telling her story in public for the first time. Tammy Lawrence-Daley says in January, she was attacked by a stranger inside the resort where she was staying in the Dominican Republic.
"It's very difficult, very difficult reliving," Lawrence-Daley said. "I could hear footfalls behind me. And before I could turn around, he plowed into the back of me."
Tammy Lawrence-Daley was on vacation with her husband at the Majestic Elegance Resort in the Dominican Republic when she says she went downstairs alone one night in search of a snack. Then the man attacked her.
The man, Lawrence-Daley says, was wearing a resort uniform. She tried to fight him off, but after he strangled her she lost consciousness.
"When I came to, it was to him beating me," Lawrence-Daley said. "About the head. Kicking me and beating me."
It was hours before people at the resort found her in an underground crawl space. She was brought to the hospital with severe facial injuries. After months of physical and emotional recovery she says she is finally sharing her story as a warning to others.

Lesson learned: Stay away from 3rd World cesspools.
Interesting. Thanks for posting. I’ve been to Punta Cana, D.R. about 10-12 times with nothing but fabulous experiences. It could be changing. The last time I was there was about 10 years ago.
Travel to foreign lands.
Visit exotic locations.
Be beaten, raped or killed by the locals.
At least the family can excuse it by saying you did what you loved!/S
You have to be a fool to travel to foreign countries to try and take advantage of “cheap” expenses. You get what you pay for. My life and my families lives are worth much more than cheap liquor and salt water scenery.
From the article:
“Lawrence-Daley’s attacker has not been found. She says the police investigation led nowhere and the hotel has not taken any responsibility for what happened.”
And I doubt ever will.....unfortunatly.
Always thought the Dominican Republic was the safe side.
Women need be protected. Unfortunately there are those that don’t think so.
Where was her husband during the attack? Hiding under the covers?
“”She was brought to the hospital””
They didn’t TAKE her - they BROUGHT her? Some writers never learned.
I can remember Judge Wapner years ago asking more than one participant in his show - DID YOU BRING YOUR TV (your car etc.)TO THE SHOP?
Additionally - I can think of many other places I’d prefer for vacation - none would include the Dominican Republic or vicinity.
The problem is that it is a side and not a separate island.
“she says she went downstairs alone one night in search of a snack”
Substitute rendezvous instead of snack and I believe the entire story.
as long as you stay on the resort.
Outside its a 3rd world shit hole with all the trimmings!
and most of those that think that are women!
I’d sooner embark on the MV Norovirus than set foot in the DR.
Did you learn anything about their culture?
Well, if you only compare it to Haiti then it is.
Too far away to hear her, because she impulsively decided to walk in the moonlight and go to another building.
There is much more to this story than being reported.
This story has a lot of gaps to it.
