Student survives kidnapping at knifepoint by boyfriend

Kidnapped at knifepoint. Punched in the face and made to fear for her life. Those were the things 21-year-old Alexis Ruhlen endured in her toxic relationship. The New Jersey native says she and her ex-boyfriend met on an app when she was a senior in high school. The honeymoon didn’t last long. About a year into their relationship, Alexis says verbal manipulation turned into physical abuse.
