About Us
Our Story...Violence is everywhere and no one is immune from the horror! One story that clearly comes to mind occurred eleven years ago: January 29, 1999, in a quiet suburban neighborhood in Yorkshire, Virginia; where two teenager sisters, ages 14 and 16, were attacked in their home!
The sixteen year old sister, during an attempted rape, fought desperately to fight off her attacker.
She lost the battle and was murdered, when the attacker pulled a knife and pierced her heart. The
fourteen year old sister, upon arriving home two hours later, was met at her own back door by the
murderer. Unsuspecting, she entered her home and upon finding her sister, was forced to the basement.
She was raped, bound by her own shoelaces, strangled, both wrists cut, stabbed twice, and her throat
repeatedly slashed, where she was left for dead.Read more...
