The story of Amber Smith's attack is a story of survival, but her ordeal was still horrifying. This week, Savannah details how Amber was bound, beaten and left for dead at Cottonwood Glen Park, a park near where she lived. Amber didn't remember much of her attack and the case went cold for over 4 years. As luck would have it, a man named Stefan Moon was charged with a minor felony, forcing him to enter his DNA in the system. Stefan "Sam" Moon's DNA matched that of Amber's attacker, and the more chilling detail, Amber knew Sam as a friend.
