A chilling 911 call from an Irvine neighborhood last summer sent police officers scrambling to a house where Paul Parvea Montazer, wielding a knife, attacked his mother on the front lawn. The situation turned deadly as force was needed to stop the rampage.

A year ago Laken Riley was taken from us-- causing a national uproar. Beyond the politics is the story of a person, a predator and a family forever fractured. We'll listen to the Laken's last desperate call for help, and watch as police officers try in vain to comfort a family changed forever. Unavoidable is a discussion about how it could have all been prevented, and how global politics reach down into the lives of every day people.

Brothers Johnny and Matthew Gaudreau were killed near their childhood home in South Jersey on the eve of their sister's wedding.

Jon will cover the tragic 911 call and Drew will explain in detail officers' field sobriety tests that make the case.
