On Halloween night 2004, three women went to sleep in their home on Dorset Street in Napa, California. After they turned out the lights, a man climbed in after prying a window open and brutally murdered Adriane Insogna and Leslie Mazzara before fleeing.

One roommate escaped and when police arrived, they found blood everywhere and cigarette butts in the yard. While Lauren Meanza hadn't seen the killer's face, he'd left a staggering amount of DNA evidence at the scene.
