investigators somehow missed it was spring break the town was full of people the weather was
awesome well March 20th 1994 Amy Gallard and her parents um attended a church service in m Island I see Amy at
church and she says I'll be home soon we go home and were early the parents returned home unknown
to them there was an intruder in the residence I see the man step into the room and he's completely disguised and
then I saw that he had a dagger and a gun basically we had to crawl through here on our hands and
knees and he took us to this area right here he was pacing he was going out this door
[Music] here they had offered money they had offered cars uh they made all these
offerings just to kind of get rid of why remain there why keep looking out I sensed and Bob sensed that he was
waiting for a ride and I saw the lights coming down the driveway he panicked something switched in him and
he just lost it first he slices me across here he stabbed me uh here and he start stabbing
me in my neck and it's going in so deep I can feel the bones crunching that sound of my bones to this
day 20 years later I can hear those bones crunch do you think he thought he had killed you mhm
