In May of 2016, a newly-divorced mother-of-two moved to Raleigh, North Carolina, to start afresh. Instead, however, she would find herself the victim of a random and chilling crime, a crime that struck fear into the heart of the community. The case became a disturbing reminder that sometimes, people will do anything for money, and sometimes, you can become a victim in the sanctity of your own home.
