Our story starts out on a lovely June afternoon in Pittsburgh, PA…
3 Months Ago…
Kaylon Rivers and her best friend Cassidy Mathews are in her garage working on her late father's motorcycle a 2004 Harley Davidson Breakout. When her step father Steven pulls up in his work truck
Cassidy: so I talked to my mom and she's cool with me going camping with you this weekend as long as there is no boys going
Kaylon: that's great and I don't even have a boyfriend so the answer to that is no boys will be there
Cassidy: I thought Josh was into you
Kaylon: he's scared of Steven he thinks he's creepy and I don't blame him besides he's not my type I like the bad boys you know that
Both girls start laughing when Steven gets out of his truck and he walks over to them
Steven: What the hell have I told you about this piece of shit on my property?
Kaylon: have some respect this was my dad's bike
Steven: I told you I don't want it in my garage get rid of it or I will
He walks past her and into the house slamming the door behind him making Cassidy jump a little
Kaylon: I am so sorry you had to see that
Cassidy: I thought it got better has he stopped hitting you when he gets angry?
Kaylon: yes thank god the last time he did I told him I was calling the police he didn't like that to much. I tried telling my mom but she either doesn't want to listen or she doesn't want to believe he hits me when he gets angry
Cassidy: I am so sorry you could always stay at my house my mom and dad love you
Kaylon: I may take you up on that
Shelby pulls into the driveway and she gets out of her Ford Fiesta
Shelby: hey girls
Kaylon: hi mom how was work?\
Shelby: busy did you girls finish your homework?
Kaylon: all done he yelled about dad's bike again
Shelby: I am sorry honey I'll talk to him, Cassidy are you staying for dinner?
Cassidy: sure my mom's working late so it should not be a problem
Shelby: alright dinner should be ready in about an hour
Cassidy: thank you Mrs. Willis
Shelby: your very welcome
She goes inside while the girls continue to work on the motorcycle
Several Hours Later…
The girls have fallen asleep in the living room while watching a movie on Netflix when someone puts their hand over Cassidy's mouth and silently drags her into the bathroom. He proceeds to violently rape and then strangle her. Kaylon hears a muffled scream and she gets off the couch to investigate the noise
Kaylon: Mom… Cassidy… where you go?
She tip toes into the hallway and stops dead in her tracks when she catches a glimpse of blood underneath the door of the bathroom, she back tracks to the living room grabs her boots and makes a break for the garage and her motorcycle
Steven: Kaylon I know you heard her where are you? I can't let you leave not after what you've just seen
Kaylon quietly moves her bike out onto the street from the garage. Her father is now frantically searching the house for her when he hears police sirens in the distance. He drops everything and disappears into the shadows and sends Kaylon running to stay alive
Later That Night…
The Detective Squad of the Pittsburgh Police Department have taped off the Willis Home on Bunker St. It's now the scene of a double homicide
Detective Barnes: What in the hell happened here?
The scene before him is horrifying, in the master bedroom a woman is lying in bed covers strewn everywhere and there is blood splatter all over the wall next to the bed. She appears to have been stabbed 3 times in the chest. The young girl in the bathroom has been violently assaulted and strangled and was left draped over the bathtub
Officer: someone heard screams and dialed 911
Detective Barnes: is this young lady her daughter?
Officer: I don't think so not according to the pictures in the living room
Detective Hanson: alright I want these two pictures circulated around the area to see if anyone can identify them
Mrs. Mathews comes running into the house looking for her daughter Cassidy
Mrs. Mathews: Cassidy honey where are you?
Officer: ma'm you can't be in here it's a crime scene
Mrs. Mathews: OH MY GOD CASSIDY, NO!
She drops to her knees and begins balling her eyes out
Detective Barnes: ma'm you should not see any of this please come outside with me
He helps her up and they go back outside where he is hoping to get some answers
Outside the House…
Mrs. Mathews: what happened to my daughter?
Detective Barnes: we are trying to figure that out what can you tell me about the family that lives here?
Mrs. Mathews: Shelby and her daughter Kaylon along with Shelby's new husband live here. Cassidy is Kaylon's best friend. She stayed for dinner because I had to work late. Shelby works down at the local beauty salon and her husband Steven Willis works in construction. Is Kaylon alright? Was she here when this happened?
Detective Barnes: we don't know the caller didn't leave a name when they called 911
Mrs. Mathews: please find out what happened to my daughter
Detective Barnes: we are going to do everything in our power to find out what happened here tonight. I am very sorry for your loss
Mrs. Mathews: just find the son of a bitch who did this
Over the next two months the police have come up with dead ends. There is a BOLO out for both Steven Willis and his step daughter Kaylon Rivers. The trail has suddenly gone cold
