“He shot my daughter in the face!” -- -
On Christmas Eve 2008, just before midnight, 911 operators scramble as every phone rings off the hook in the city of Covina, California. All the callers frantically report a massive explosion on East Knollcrest drive—the Ortegas' family home. In the chaos, neighbors are sheltering the panicked surviving family members, running for their lives from what should have been a normal Christmas dinner. But what the survivors tell 911 dispatchers is even more deeply disturbing: the nightmare actually began before the house went up in flames when a man dressed as Santa Claus opened fire at the family dinner. Now, the surviving Ortega family must figure out how to rebuild after an unimaginable tragedy, and keep the Christmas spirit alive.
In her journey to rebuild, Leticia Yuzefpolsky now shares empowering stories about healing, love, & family on her blog: https://leticiashope.com/about/-

“It was like making a deal with the devil” --
At 3:30 am on February 21st 2008, Melissa Oxley frantically calls 911 from her bedroom. She’s just woken up next to the dead body of her husband, Ben, who’s been murdered with a shotgun in his sleep. She hides with her 6-year-old stepdaughter, Alyssa, pleading with dispatchers to hurry, since she can hear footsteps downstairs, but when police arrive, there’s no intruder found. As all clues point to Melissa, Ben’s daughter, 6 YO Alyssa, breaks her silence: she was the only one awake in the house, and what she saw that night will take the investigation in a whole different direction.

"You don’t come into MY house, and attack MY family"--On July 13th 2007, a woman is found murdered in the middle of the night. Her husband, who was asleep upstairs, immediately becomes the prime suspect, but police have no idea that the true culprit, a masked serial killer, has already struck again, miles away, leaving a trail of crime scenes undetected along the Northeastern US. However, everything changes when he breaks into the bedroom of 15-year-old Shea McDonough, who will team up with her entire family to make sure the killer is brought to justice for all of his crimes. Jeannie McDonough, Shea’s mom, wrote a book detailing her family’s intense ordeal and fight for justice titled “Caught in the Act: A Courageous Family's Fight to Save Their Daughter from a Serial Killer.” It can be purchased here: https://www.amazon.ca/Caught-Act-Cour... ---Credits:Directing, writing, & editing by Maxime DesrochersResearched by Tianyi ZhangProduced by Alexandra Salois & Salim SaderVoiceover by William Akana---Sources:Documentary 48 Hours Mystery Live to Tell Hunting Humans - CBS NewsI survived a serial killer 2013 - E!
