Whoever had attacked her appeared to have hit her in the head and upper body over and over again with something very heavy and blunt. But so far, the evidence retrieval crew had not found whatever that weapon was. In fact, they hadn't found much of anything. There was no evidence of a break-in or signs that anything had been stolen. But Detective Judy was not surprised.

The viciousness of the attack did not feel like a robbery, and he was already beginning to suspect that the motive might be personal. After checking out the crime scene, Judy and Snipes left the house and headed next door to speak with Drew and Max, who were still with the neighbor. They tried to talk to the nine-year-old, Max, but he was completely unresponsive.

Nikki's neighbor explained that Max had medical issues and rarely spoke, and now he may be traumatized too, and so that left seven-year-old Drew. The detectives sat Drew down in the kitchen, and as gently as they could, they asked him to tell them what he saw. There was a long silence and at first the detectives weren't sure the boy would even answer them. But then he started talking.

Drew told the detectives that he had been in the living room doing math problems when he heard his mother scream. He looked up and he saw her running down the hall and there was this large man in dark clothes with a black mask on carrying something long and shiny, maybe a metal baseball bat.

He said his mother screamed for him to go hide and then she disappeared into the bedroom and the masked man followed her inside. Drew was so scared he couldn't move, but he followed his mother's instructions and he hid until he heard the attacker leave.

At that point, he snuck out of his hiding place and ran into the bedroom, where he found his mother, unconscious, and his brother, Max, cowering behind the bed. Drew took Max's hand and led him to the bathroom, where the brothers hid until they heard their neighbor's voice calling them from outside.

When Drew finished telling the story, the detectives realized that the boy's ordeal was far worse than anyone realized. Max, the nine-year-old, had actually been in the bedroom with his mother while she was being attacked. By this point, it was nearing 2 a.m., and the boys were obviously exhausted. But Detective Judy had one more question. He asked Drew if he recognized the attacker.
