As a teen, Amy was strikingly pretty. matched

A tall, willowy blonde with a bit of a wild streak. matched

Now, as she spoke to Lou on the phone, she was a nurse in her middle 30s. matched

She'd been following the news of Anthony's retrial on TV, but, paralyzed by shame, she'd waited till after the verdict to come forward. matched

But she insisted on telling him anyway. matched

Amy said she was 17 when she babysat Gombert's daughter, the toddler he shared with Anne-Marie. matched

This was the summer of 1994, two months before Josette went missing. matched

Gombert was always prying into Amy's love life, she said, hawking her to talk about boys. matched

Once, she let it slip to him that she sometimes snuck out to meet her boyfriend by the lake at 2 a.m. matched

One night, after telling Gombert her secret, Amy snuck out of the house to meet her boyfriend. matched

But en route there, she was set upon by a man with a knife. matched

Her attacker wore a mask, but Amy spotted some telltale features. matched

He had a cleft chin and dark blonde scruff on his face. matched

She told Lou what she didn't tell the police, that those features belonged to Howard Gombert. matched

She came forward and then she was like talking about suicide. matched

And then two weeks later we lost her. matched

Anthony was gutted, actually worse than gutted. matched

He felt personally cursed by God. matched

But just when he thought he couldn't go on, couldn't bear to raise his hopes and see them dashed again, the death of Amy Ferranda lit a charge. matched

It was unbearable to him that Gombert had destroyed these lives, had so afflicted these girls that at least two of them were dead now. matched
