That's what I'm working for.

What could he possibly say to you that would make you feel any better?

I don't think that he can say anything that would make me feel better.

But I can say some things that'll make me feel better.

Things she's been waiting to say ever since that terrible night in 1986, the night of Mitzi's 21st birthday.

Mitzi came home late to the house she shared in Austin, Texas, with her roommate, Kelly Farquhar.

Carla Connelly was an Austin prosecutor.

She says the horror began when an intruder broke in.

When the girls started screaming, the intruder started stabbing.

First, Kelly.

He killed Kelly, then Mitzi.

Mitzi was stabbed 28 times.

She died a horrible death, a frightening death.

Can you imagine that your last thought in this world being of somebody stabbing you?

With the girls dead, the killer might have gotten away.

But that night, there was someone else in the house.

Okay, you can throw the rock when we get to the water.

These days, Ron Ross lives with his wife and two kids just a few miles from the murder scene.

But back in 1986, Ron was Mitzi's new boyfriend.

She was a beautiful woman.
