Our card this week is Deshana Wilkerson, the three of clubs from Ohio.

Deshana was a bright recent high school graduate who was so excited for her future in nursing.

She loved helping others and she wanted to make it her career.

But late one night in October 2001, someone saw to it that Deshana would never have a chance to help anyone, ever again.

I'm Ashley Flowers, and this is the deck. Oh, After a night out at the bar with some friends, a man in his mid-20s, who will call

John, arrived back home a little before midnight on October 21st, 2001. He walked into his bedroom

which he occasionally shared with his new girlfriend Ashana and he was thrown

off when he saw the gifts and roses he had put on the bed for her were just sitting there untouched.

It was sweetest day the day before and if you've never heard of this holiday you're not alone.

I've never heard of it either. But based on my research, it's a holiday basically like a

pre-Valentines day in October. And this day was a big deal to John, and he was already a little

annoyed that Deshana hadn't called him to thank him for the gifts, but now it seemed like she hadn't even seen them.

He knew that she had gotten off work at 11, just a little while before he got home, and he was expecting

that her mom would have dropped her off by now.

So John walked out of his room to ask his mom where Deshauna was.

John lived at home with his mom who will call Beth and she told him that Deshana did get home a little after 11 that

night but just a few seconds after setting foot inside she told Beth that she

had to step out to take a phone call. She said she'd be right back so Beth didn't even think about it again until now, but now Beth is

realizing that Deshana never returned. In an instant, John was worried, less that something bad had happened and more that

Deshana hated his gifts. He started calling Deshana over and over and over again.

He did this through the night and into the next day when he felt like it was a reasonable-ish enough hour to call Deshauna's mom, Danita.

And Danita told John the same thing Beth had, that she dropped her daughter off a little after 11 and everything seemed normal.
