Send us a textIt was a Monday afternoon in July. Leota, a mother of three, was home with her kids, doing the most ordinary of tasks — hanging laundry on the clothesline.  But while she was outside, someone is believed to have slipped into her home and waited. What happened next shattered her family’s world — and left behind a mystery that’s remained unsolved for decades. Still, there’s hope.
