Lifetime continues to bring shocking tales of true crime to the screen with 'Left For Dead: The Ashley Reeves Story', which follows the sensational story of 17-year-old Ashley Reeves who was left for dead in the woods, after being attacked by a teacher she was involved with. Despite being gravely wounded and paralyzed, police still found her alive and ready to fight for her life.

A Lifetime synopsis of the film states: "In 2006, 17-year-old Ashley Reeves (Anwen O’Driscoll) is left for dead in the woods following a brutal attack. After spending 30 horrific hours in the cold, gravely wounded, lying in the dirt, and paralyzed, the police find her alive. Her injuries are so severe that she must re-learn how to walk and talk. With no memory of what happened, she begins a long and painful recovery while searching her shattered memory to unlock the mystery of who did this to her. Left for Dead: The Ashley Reeves Story is based on the extraordinary true story of an ordinary teenage girl who had to fight for her life three times; first in the woods, then in the hospital, and finally in court." If Lifetime films based on true crime interest you, 'Gone Mom: The Disappearance of Jennifer Dulos' and 'Girl in the Basement' will be films that will capture your attention as well.
