A Colorado woman who was abducted, assaulted, strangled and doused in bleach is now recovering after spending five weeks in a coma, RadarOnline.com has learned.

Despite her lucky escape, the sheer magnitude of the danger Lydia Tillman was in is only now becoming shockingly clear with the release of surveillance video showing her attacker stashing another body in a freezer months earlier, ABCNews.com and 20/20 reported.

Tillman's near-fatal ordeal began when she met a hunky blonde stranger at a 4th of July fireworks celebration in Fort Collins, Colorado, and took him back to her apartment, where he turned from a hot date into a potential killer.
