She found her tent Tuesday, she said, and she's been staying there with another person this week. They could use more blankets, she said.
She said she'll think about going to Atlanta. I told her Kalamazoo would provide a free bus ticket if she wants one.

I met and photographed Angelique Motton, 38, in downtown Kalamazoo as temps were near freezing. She was looking for her tent Tuesday.
Her brother just called me from GA. They haven't spoke for 20 yrs. I called Angelique. She said she would call him.

Bailey Stell is ready to move forward.
She's chosen to find a way to find something positive about the horrible experience, using it as a way to help make changes.
She found strength.
“I just didn’t want to die,” Stell said. “But I also put two people who are very dangerous, away.”

Lee looked injured in court. I asked the undersheriff about it.
He reported to jail staff he hit his head while exercising. Though another inmate later presented with injuries as well, so officials say it's possible the injuries are due to an altercation though they denied that.

Julius Lee appeared at the trial in a white shirt. He sat next to his attorney as Stell described how Lee and Stevens attacked her.
They wouldn't stop, Stell said as the jury looked on.
“I realized I couldn’t find my way out and I tried to plead to their humanity."

Stell testified at Lee's trial. She pointed to him when asked to identify her attacker.
The coffee cup she served to Lee, with his fingerprints still on it, was submitted as evidence.
Stell faced cross examination from Lee's attorney and gave details of the attack.

A small dog named Sojourner was the only one awake in the house.
The dog, a one-eyed rescue, wouldn't leave its owner alone, Stell said.
The dog barked until its owner went to the door.
In the yard, the homeowner found Stell, fighting for her life.
Sojourner and Bailey Stell.

She played dead.
She heard one of them say "she'll bleed out."
Her plan worked, but they weren't done. They ran her over twice while leaving in the car.
Stell watched while lying on the road, as their taillights turned the corner and disappeared.

Things took a turn on a rural road miles from her home.
They turned a knife on her and asked for her bank account PIN.
She gave them the numbers one by one, withholding the last digit.
She was stabbed and choked. She told them she wanted to watch the stars outside as she died.

Stell was at her home near Oakland/Howard in Kalamazoo on June 30, 2024. She called an acquaintance she knew as Detroit. He came over with a woman and cocaine.
Stell and Detroit did the cocaine. She made him coffee.
She mentioned her student loan deposited, about $2,000.

Meet Bailey Stell.
She saved herself from death after a brutal attack by two people.
They ran her over twice and left her to bleed out and die on a rural dead-end road in Kalamazoo County.
She stood up and headed into the woods.
