Gone.

Tom Sims says police came to the house for each violent incident, when Kessler stabbed him, when she bit his father, when she struck him with that iron grill, but he never pressed charges against her.

Young and naive.

But about a year later in 1990, Kessler was back, and she wants to catch up.

Sims would later tell police about a troubling conversation that he says he had with her.

She shot him with a shotgun.

Kessler has never responded to those allegations.

But while Sims only knew her as Kimberly Kessler, there are plenty of others who knew her by entirely different names, including Sergeant Jim Walters back in Virginia Beach in 1999.

It was a very, very bizarre situation in Virginia Beach.

She lived with the father of her child.

And a neighbor saw her digging in the yard with the kid in the hole.

And she said it was a grave that she was digging.

And she was acting very bizarrely.

So the neighbor called the child welfare services.

And they came and took the child.

On August the 3rd, 1999, I received a call that there was a disorderly, suspicious person at social services and we spoke real quickly and I asked her to leave.

That's when we followed Christina Brooks out and stopped her on the other side of the bus stop.

Sergeant Walters says he's never forgotten what he says he discovered in her purse.

A Smith & Wesson .357 Magnum, a taser, and a roll of duct tape.

We call it a kidnap kit.
