Anita was a beautiful 18 year old girl. She had just started college and had moved into her own apartment with a roommate. She was working two jobs to support herself and was doing well in school. One weekend, her parents had not heard from her which is unusual. Her father went over to check on her and what he would find would shock everyone.
