Wearing glasses or contact lenses is a pretty normal thing for lots of visually impared people around the globe, but little did the family of Janet Abaroa know that her contacts would lead to the arrest of her murderer almost 10 years after her unfortunate death.

Janet and her husband Raven seemed to be the perfect couple to all their family and friends, but 7 years into their relationship and only a few years into marriage, Raven would get "the itch" and cheat on his unsuspecting wife. Shortly after revealing his infidelity, Janet would find out she was pregnant with a baby boy, and Raven promised to do everything in his power to change and become a better husband and father. 

On the evening of April 26, 2005 Raven decided he would leave his wife and 6 month old son at home to go to the fields to play soccer, but would return home a few hours later to his wife's lifeless body. Listen to Sam tell the sad story of the loss of Janet and the insane years after her death that left her family with so many questions.
