Survivor's Code: How a Nevada Woman's Quick Thinking Saved Her Life
A woman in Nevada used a code word to alert her mother for help during an attack, leading to the conviction of Anthony Selleck for battery and domestic violence. Selleck, who was in a relationship with the woman, assaulted her on December 16, 2024, by strangling her with a belt and physically abusing her. The woman's mother called 911 after receiving the distress signal, prompting law enforcement to track down Selleck and the woman in Carson City, where she managed to escape. Selleck is set to be sentenced in July for his crimes. District Attorney Chris Hicks emphasized the importance of protecting survivors and holding abusers accountable in this case. Carson City is located approximately 32 miles south of Reno.
