How Netflix's Unbelievable Brings a Harrowing True Story to Life
added, "That's such a huge part of the story is exploring the ways that people respond to trauma and just underscoring the fact that there's no right way to respond to a trauma. And yet there are so many preconceptions about the way people are expected to behave in the wake of something like a violent assault."
In the end, though, this is Marie's story. And two and a half years after the Lynnwood Police Department had publicly branded her a liar , they tracked her down somewhere outside of Seattle. They told her that her rapist had been arrested, told her that her record would be expunged, and handed over a refund for the $500 she'd been forced to pay the court. She went on to sue the city and settled for $150,000.
As Miller and Armstrong's piece noted, she found it within herself to accept the apology of both foster mothers who'd turned their backs on her in her time of need—it was one's expression of doubt to the police that prompted the detectives to stop investigating Marie's claims and pursue the theory that she was lying—and soon left the state. After getting her commercial driver's license, she began a career as a long-haul trucker, got married, and now has two children.
