So by the time she and Oscar were introduced in November 2012, she was reportedly planning to take the bar, get back into law, and use the platform she'd built as a way to get back into advocacy. And seemingly, Oscar was supportive of that. In fact, going into January of 2013, the couple appeared pretty happy together.

They'd only been dating a few months, but it looked like they were planning for a future with one another.

And while Reva wasn't living with Oscar yet, they were spending plenty of nights together at his new house in Pretoria, about 45 minutes outside of Johannesburg. The problem was, according to Jen and Del, Oscar kept saying that he really didn't feel safe there. It may have started back in 2005, when Oscar's last home in Pretoria was broken into.

Or it could have started even earlier than that, perhaps dating back to childhood. As long as Oscar could remember, he was always told to look over his shoulder, especially being from a middle-class family in Johannesburg, where most of the population made less than $65 a month in the 90s.

And in a nation where the violent crime rate was one of the highest in the world, well, Oscar's worries weren't completely unmerited. It wasn't unheard of for families in Johannesburg to own guns to protect themselves. And that's what Oscar's father, Hank, always taught him and his siblings, that you could never be too careful and that you could never rely on the local police to do the protecting.

So it was sort of ingrained in Oscar to always have his head on a swivel. But ever since Oscar's rapid rise to fame, he'd been especially on edge, at least according to some of his old friends. They stated that Oscar always made sure to turn on his alarm system before bed. Oscar even told one friend that he started sleeping with a 9mm pistol next to his bed.
